Meet your coach
I’m Callum Gilbert, founder of Lift Run Thrive and a Level 3 Personal Trainer based at PureGym Neath. I’ve spent over 15 years training and developing my own understanding of what it takes to make progress. Today, I use that experience alongside my knowledge as a Personal Trainer to help others build structure, confidence and results of their own.
How I got here
Training has been part of my life for over 15 years. What started as something I did for myself gradually developed into a genuine passion for training, nutrition and understanding what it takes to continually improve.
For years, fitness wasn’t my career. I worked in a completely different industry that I never had the same passion for, before eventually deciding to change direction and pursue something I genuinely cared about. That decision led me into Personal Training and Online Coaching and ultimately to creating Lift Run Thrive.
What I enjoy most about coaching is seeing the difference the right structure, guidance and support can make. Whether it’s helping someone build confidence, change their physique, get stronger or simply feel better in themselves, seeing people make progress and develop habits they can maintain is what makes coaching so rewarding for me.
My approach to coaching
Before putting any plan together, I take the time to understand your goals, experience, lifestyle and what’s been getting in the way of your progress.
From there, everything is built around the individual. I don’t believe in generic programmes, quick fixes or unnecessarily restrictive approaches that don’t fit around your life.
My job is to give you the right structure, guidance and accountability while helping you understand the process along the way. I become genuinely invested in the people I coach and want to see you build confidence, enjoy the process and create progress you can maintain long term.
Starts with you
Your goals, experience and lifestyle come first when building your plan.
Built around you
Your training and approach are personalised to fit you and your life.
Ongoing support
Regular check-ins, feedback and adjustments keep you moving forward.
Progress that lasts
Focused on sustainable progress and building habits you can maintain long term.
Built through experience
I’ve always believed that if I’m going to ask someone else to commit to a process, I should understand what that process actually demands.
Over the years I’ve taken myself through different phases of training and nutrition, continually working to improve my own physique, performance and understanding along the way.
That experience doesn’t mean every client should train or eat the way I do. Far from it. But it does mean I understand the consistency, patience and challenges that come with working towards a goal. It’s experience I can draw on when helping someone else through their own journey.
