Craig will provide you with the knowledge and the skills you need to look great, obtain life-long optimal health, increase your energy and finally see the results you deserve.
In Dubai Craig provides personal training for weight loss, muscle building, core strength training, kickboxing and more. Whether you have a specific training need to feel you want to be fitter and healthier in general Craig has the skills to ensure all you personal fitness needs are met in full.
Craig’s journey into the world of health, fitness and personal training involved reading, researching, training and experimentation. Not just reading about training or nutrition but on the psychology of confidence and happiness. You could say it become an obsession. He likes to think of it as finding his passion.
It took a good number of years to get to where Craig is now. He is now completely medication and symptom free. Craig went from a skinny weakling to a strong, muscular, confident and happy person.
Craig coaches people as a personal fitness expert one to one in Dubai and online worldwide, changing peoples lives for the better through physique development.
No matter your starting point you can make a massive change to your mind, body and health. It may have taken Craig a number of years to change but with the knowledge he has obtained he can transform your physique in a matter of weeks.
In his late teens Craig’s health and fitness wasn’t important to him. He practiced Jui Jitsu maybe once per week because a relative owned a MMA club, apart from that he wasn’t in any way truly involved in the fitness world. In fact, it would be safe to say he took his health for granted. Think coco pops for breakfast, whatever he could grab for lunch and maybe some veg with dinner on a good day.
Just before Craig turned 20 he was diagnosed with Crohns disease. Having never been the most confident person, this diagnosis took that remaining confidence away – he lost weight, became weaker and energy-less. The map to Craig’s self-confidence was unreadable and he slipped into a depression. Having dropped out of University Craig quit his job. He was on 22 tablets a day and could only eat a limited number of foods.
There was a gradual change in his physical and mental health from that low point and he decided to get fit again. It was then that a friend introduced him to lifting weights and the world of bodybuilding.
This was the game changer for Craig. For the first time in his life he was getting stronger and he even started getting a few compliments on my physique.

Training with Craig is different – he knows there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to personal training in Dubai and as such he creates completely individualised training and nutrtion plans for my clients based on their goals, requirements, schedule, history and preferences.
He like’s to empower his clients by giving them the most up-to-date knowledge based on evidence based research.
Training methods are dependent on each individual client.
The equipment he regularly uses are:
Craig does provide either online only or a combination of both online and face to face personal training in the UAE.
I use an App to host my online coaching mostly. The exercise programs are held on here and the clients can follow them, updating as they go. I receive the info on my end and update/progress as needed. The client can also input their weight and body measurements on the App which I monitor. I use typeform for weekly check-in questions and just whatsapp to keep in more regular contact. I will use zoom for a more detailed catch-up with a client and on occasion for a workout if needed.
Yes, I do this with many clients. I give them workouts to do alone and update them as they progress. This means they get the benefit of seeing me one-to-one for feedback on more trickier workouts and the freedom to also train alone.
It is more cost effective for clients while still holding them accountable and giving them the information and advice they need to train effectively.
Through my App. The client inputs data from each set done of an exercise which I use to update the program. I also collect data on body measurements which are used to adjust the nutrition plan. I can also connect to the clients fitbit/apple watch giving me info on daily step count, sleep and resting heart rate which I use the update the program.
Resistance bands are great as they offer a lot of tension on the muscle but take up very little space. A suspension trainer can be very good for training at home as well as there is countless exercises that can be done, training the full body. Again it takes up very little space. After that it is then up to the client what pieces of gym equipment they have space for or are willing to purchase.
Online coaching is a set monthly fee rather than a package of sessions like one-to-one training. Clients can contact me for my prices anytime.
I send this to the client as a pdf and then we adjust based on results. I encourage clients to discuss any issues with me so we can update regularly.
1) It allows the client to set their own schedule, not relying on training when the trainer is free
2) It is more cost effective than one-to-one coaching
3) The client can train with a trainer in any part of the world
4) The client can keep training when traveling
5) The client can train in different gyms day to day
