Learn To Lift Training

Fantastic experience: Allen is a great personal trainer - I’ve worked with him for over a year, including throughout my pregnancy and always felt well supported. The sessions were always adapted to what I could do but still challenging and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending bootcamp for nearly 2 years and never imagined I'd be able to lift this heavy. Allen and Chris are really knowledgeable, and the workouts are designed to challenge you in each session. The programming changes every few weeks, which keeps things interesting and the atmosphere is always welcoming, friendly and supportive. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I started lifting weights with Allen and Chris in October 2024 and, thanks to their welcoming manner, relaxed environment and all round professionalism, I now attend the gym 3/4 times a week. The guys take the time to properly coach all their members, constantly making sure your stance/posture is correct and avoiding unnecessary injuries whilst constantly pushing you to hit new PB’s! All the other members are lovely too, I’ve never been in the gym before that has felt like a big extended family/friends group where everyone cheers for PB’s! There are no egos, no posers, no mirrors - just lifting, laughs & good times. I’ve never felt better or healthier, my body shape has completely changed and my confidence is back to where it was before I had my son 10 years ago. Well done Allen & Chris - thanks for everything.

Fantastic experience: Allen and Chris have created a friendly, safe, and supportive environment which is perfect for beginners, experienced lifters and everything in between! I'm normally bad at sticking to routines but I'm enjoying every session of bootcamp. Trust the process!!

Fantastic experience: I've always struggled to stick to a steady gym routine and always felt overwhelmed and rushed at the weights section. However, since training with Allen and Chris, I've loved every week of it and have noticed such an improvement in my strength. The guys help track your progress while mixing each week up with a plethora of weights and workouts. It's a welcoming environment for all, so if you're a newbie to weight training or wanting to try somewhere new, couldn't recommend here more

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for the past three months, and I can confidently say it’s been a game-changer— mainly thanks to Chris. From the beginning, he’s been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and fully committed to helping me reach my goals. Chris has a great ability to push just the right amount—challenging me while always making sure I’m doing exercises safely and with proper form. I’ve seen huge progress in my strength and overall fitness in a short time, and I feel stronger and more confident than ever. I couldn’t recommend Chris more. Absolutely 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I never thought I'd be looking forward every couple of days to going to a weightlifting gym, but Learn To Lift Training is great fun. Really glad to have found it. It didn't take long after starting to begin to feel physically stronger and healthier, and Allen and Chris create an atmosphere which makes it highly enjoyable. The Bootcamp is a friendly group environment, but almost feels like One-to-One training. Best of all worlds. Great fun.

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed doing the bootcamp with Chris and Allen. I’ve felt very supported coming in as a complete beginner and Chris and Allen are both very knowledgeable. Mixed ability groups have been great as they are full of friendly people and allow for some peer learning too.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the gym now for just over 6 months and I can honestly say I've enjoyed every session. Allen & Chris are brilliant at what they do. The gym is super friendly and welcoming. Get involved!!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Have loved every minute of the bootcamps. Chris and Allan push you every time and I have achieved things I wouldn't have thought possible when I first crossed the door about 10 months ago. Their banter is shocking but that aside they are excellent trainers.

Fantastic experience: 100% Recommend Learn to Lift. I moved over from another business and the difference in knowledge and expertise was remarkable. I never thought I'd be a gym person, but 3 years on I'm still going, still making progress and still listening to Chris' questionable chat joking aside, if you're uncomfortable in a gym environment, these guys will change that!

Fantastic experience: I’m fitter and stronger in my late 40’s than I was in my 20’s & 30’s. Allen and Chris are great, knowledgable trainers who have pushed me to lift weights I’d never thought I’d be capable of. The classes are always tailored to every individual and a really good laugh. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym for anyone and everyone of any experience level. Before coming to LTL I had never been consistent with exercise in my life, but have now been attending regularly for +1 year. Allen and Chris create a brilliant, friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for newbies and experienced lifters alike, bonus points for top tier patter. Stay long enough and you might get a cool nickname.

Fantastic experience: Joined Learn to Lift book camp around a year ago, and it’s been a great experience! Always made me feel welcome and supported throughout the sessions. Developed at a comfortable pace and build lots of knowledge and confidence about lifting. Recommend it to anyone looking to start weight lifting or improve their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Learn to Lift is a very welcoming and supportive environment to train in. I've seen a real transformation in my confidence and ability to lift weights. Before joining, I saw very little progress in the weights I was lifting, but with their help, I saw improvement very quickly. My technique and overall confidence have grown significantly, as I used to find free weights very daunting. I also used to struggle with motivation to go to the gym, but with Learn to Lift, I always look forward to it, and it's often the highlight of my day. I would highly recommend Learn to Lift!

Fantastic experience: Couldn't rate Allen and Chris highly enough. I was always nervous and lacked confidence going to the Gym before I joined Learn To Lift Training. The friendly and motivating environment of the classes changed that. Been going for 8 years and I feel stronger and more confident both in the class and during my solo workouts given what I've learned from these guys. Setting strength goals and working towards them each block helps motivate and measure progress. Cheers lads! G

Fantastic experience: Allen and Chris offer a first rate and professional PT service. Would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to improve their fitness and strength

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Allen for over 3 years now and has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. A very welcoming and good vibes in the gym. The training I’ve had has been very personal and focused on using the technique then watched my weights go up and up. Most importantly though always a great atmosphere in the gym and had such a class time. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train! I have been training at Learn to Lift for 7 years now which has completely transformed my confidence and desire to train. Bootcamp is a great way to start out and try lots of different exercises to improve general strength. Allen and Chris are very personable and help adapt workouts depending on the individual (especially when injured…). I love the focus on technique for every exercise to ensure you are lifting safely. There is something for everyone whether looking to compete, general strengthening or additional training for sport such as rugby or hockey. You also make great friends along the way! I would not train anywhere else. Highly recommend using Learn to Lift.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Allen & Chris’s bootcamp for almost 10 years. A bunch of fantastic people train with them so you’ll immediately feel part of it. I now have the confidence to train with weights as technique & form is the major factor here. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Allen & Chris are like the Stan and Ollie of the training world!! Great guys who know what they are doing. Results and a smile at the same time.

Fantastic experience: I started the learn to lift bootcamp back in June of 2024, it’s been so amazing to see how much my strength has improved since! Allen and Chris are great PTs, always giving great tips and helping everyone improve! The classes are always a great laugh too It’s been great while I’ve been at uni as I’ve still been able to do the workouts via the online programme with Allen. Looking forward to getting back to the classes over the summer!

Fantastic experience: Chris is a great pt who encourages people of all ages and stages of fitness. I was someone who always wanted to go to the gym but wasn’t motivated. Now with his guidance I’m much more motivated to go to the gym and gain muscle mass which is beneficial for my whole sporting career. I also share a lot in common with him which makes sessions very easy to chat and chill and then do the work required. A great PT overall and would recommend to all.

Fantastic experience: Known Allen for years and finally decided to come along to the bootcamps, best decision I’ve made in years! Good fun and everyone is very encouraging!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Chris and Allen are really knowledgeable guys and will support you with whatever goals you have, be that strength training, weight loss, general increase in fitness and wellbeing. They can also help you work around and rehabilitate from injury which has proven invaluable for me. A really warm, welcoming environment for people of all abilities so there’s no need to be intimidated if you’re new to training. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Allen and Chris are good fun and are great at building an encouraging environment for working out - happy to recommend their personal training and bootcamps

Fantastic experience: Bootcamp is a great class if you want to start to learn how to enjoy the gym and training - it is suitable for all beginners and those who want to try something different, improve their strength both physically and mentally. Chris and Allen are great trainers who consistently encourage you to do better. They tailor the workouts to your needs to ensure you improve every week. It's amazing what a community they have managed to build! I have made great friends attending this class and improved my fitness!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym

Fantastic experience: Being in my seventies was always very wary of boot camp traing especially regarding the average age difference in the classes. My fears were quickly dispelled by Allen and Chris and am pushing weights I never thought possible and having great crack with all the people there achieving their own personal goals. So good even got my partner going to train as well. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Learn to Lift in Glasgow. I’ve been coming to bootcamp for about six months now. I started with no weightlifting experience whatsoever and I’m amazed at the progress I’ve made. Allen and Chris know their stuff and keep us right in terms of technique and progression. I was nervous about going along to a weightlifting gym but I shouldn’t have been. The guys have created a very friendly, supportive environment and I’d encourage others to give it a go.

Fantastic experience: Serious about lifting properly, getting fit and doing everything the right way, these guys know what they are doing.

Fantastic experience: Best powerlifting coaches, great vibes and lovely people

Fantastic experience: Learn to lift is absolutely amazing. They have transformed my attitude towards training and I have been rewarded by continuously getting fitter and stronger. I look forward to each training session as they are so friendly, welcoming and very motivational. The training programmes are set to make progression and by closely tracking your lifting you are kept on track and have a sense of success every time you train. Cannot speak highly enough of Learn to Lift!! An excellent bootcamp in Glasgow.

Fantastic experience: Allen and Chris are really lovely guys that will make you feel welcome and comfortable. I had mad anxiety about doing weight training but it’s nothing like I expected. They are knowledgeable, supportive and will make sure you are doing things right. Can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: I started out having never lifted before and now i’m 2 months into the bootcamp. As well as becoming stronger i’ve noticed a more defined shape and have more confidence (I’d know what to do if going to a random gym). The trainers are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: To be totally honest, these are a pair of cowboys but that’s just the country music they play while we work out. Fantastic bootcamp, for someone who fundamentally hated any kind of weightlifting and was always scared of the gym Allen and Chris are down to earth, talented trainers who focus on technique rather than just a meat headed big weights approach. Couldn’t rate them any more and I’ve recommended to multiple friends. They’ve also taught me the perfect facial expressions for lifting.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Allen for a year and cannot say enough good things. A welcoming , friendly vibe and a genuine interest in your training and wellbeing even outside the scheduled session. As someone who felt anxious by free weight areas in busy gyms before I can confidently say that it is down to Allen and his training that I am able to go into any gym and feel comfortable lifting weights.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Allen just under a year and I can’t recommend him enough, great at keeping you motivated and on track.

Fantastic experience: Chris and Allen create the perfect environment to help achieve serious progression in strength and overall general fitness in such a short space of time. The results speak for themselves. I don't believe there is another programme within the Glasgow area that matches the quality of the L2L sessions. If you don't know where to start, start here.

Fantastic experience: Such a fun and supportive environment to get fit and strong. Allen and Chris are both so encouraging and knowledgable and really help push you to improve. Great focus on both weight lifting and conditioning for all abilities. Been going for three years now and I still love it and feel challenged during every session.

Fantastic experience: Both Allen and Chris are really knowledgable PT’s that tailor the programme around your goals and are really supportive.

Fantastic experience: When I started using Learn to lift I had never been in a gym and could barely make it up the stairs, Alan wanted to meet me before we started and spent a good hour finding out what I wanted to achieve. I was made to feel comfortable as I was a bit embarrassed about the whole thing. A year later I had lost just under 2 stone, could bench press my body weight and dead lift 3 times it. It wasn't just the lifting, the nutritional side of things was great, all being suited to my body weights and goals. I feel comfortable in myself going to the gym but more importantly alott more confident in general Cheers Mate

Fantastic experience: Great personal training service. Perfect tailored services to meet my own personal goals.

Fantastic experience: Joined Learn to Lift about 2 years ago. Really great and fun atmosphere and culture within the classes. It has helped me get healthier, stronger and I have made some great friends in the process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get more active in a fun supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Chris for over 4 years now and I can’t recommend him highly enough. When I started I was in probably the worst shape of my life a year on from baby 1 and I felt going to the gym was a real slog. But the sessions with Chris were amazing and really enjoyable. I discovered I actually enjoy lifting weights! Now 2 years on from baby 2 I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and more importantly I feel fit and strong. I would never have had the confidence to go in to a gym and start lifting without Chris so if you’re thinking about starting - do it! You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Both Allen and Chris are great to work with. Found myself lifting heavier than ever before, combining good quality technique with a professional hard work ethic comes natural to them both. Allen has helped areas i was weak in previously such as legs develop too so a real good balance of weights and cardio. Can't thank them enough and would strongly recommend them both for personal training. Only feedback might be is Chris needs to work on those jokes of his

Fantastic experience: Top class personal training from Chris and Allen. They both bring a tremendous amount of experience in their field to help you achieve your goals. Training is personalised to your current level of strength and fitness a made incredibly accessible. Support through diet and nutrition advice is excellent. Give Learn to Lift a try, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: If you want to get strong and fit from experts who walk their own talk then you cant go anywhere else in Glasgow apart from Learn To Lift! Allen and Chris have created an atmosphere that is incredibly welcoming and promotes you working really hard to meet your own goals! Awesome place to train!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Chris for a few years now and my strength, technique and knowledge have all improved significantly since I started training with him. He’s always reading and learning about the latest developments in the industry and incorporates this into training where relevant and so training never feels stale. Chris also strikes the right balance between getting results (however you define those) and recognising that his clients have a life outside of training. Excellent PT knowledge and skills aside, Chris is professional and consistent in how he runs his business. And he’s got decent chat and is very easy to get on with.

Fantastic experience: A friendly and highly experienced team, who have created a fun, group-based environment, in which to reach your fitness goals. The team are keen to pass on their knowledge and expertise. Certainly, my training has never been better and I've met good friends through the bootcamp. The most important thing is that they make it enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic bootcamp for novice lifters and people with experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn any lifting and training techniques.

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of a number of gyms over the years with limited results it wasn’t until I joined Learn to Lift that I really started making progress and began to properly enjoy training in a super friendly environment. Now over 4 stone down and lifting heavier than I ever imagined I could - couldn’t have done it without Allen and Chris

Fantastic experience: Been training with Chris for a couple years now and can’t thank him enough for all his help. Support and guidance. Strength, fitness and confidence have all improved. Always a great atmosphere in the training sessions. Both Allen and Chris are very knowledgeable & only want the best for their clients. If your looking for 1-2-1 training or bootcamp, I couldn’t recommend these guys enough!

Fantastic experience: As someone who is fairly new to weight lifting, this bootcamp has brought me on leaps and bounds. Allen and Chris are extremely supportive and adaptable to the different levels in the class. Everyone has been very welcoming and the extra Facebook page is a great support mechanism. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. I can't recommend it enough. Great covid procedures in place, sanitiser upon entry and anti bacterial spray available for the equipment.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Learn to lift training for over three years, very professional in their approach to training, great communication, excellent advice on nutrition and method of training, if your looking for a commited gym who cares about the well being and progresss of their clients then this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: Trained with Allen for the last 2/3 years, ideal for any strength targets you have

Fantastic experience: The guys at learn to lift are amazing Alan and Kris really helped me with strength gains and technique.

Fantastic experience: Allen and Chris are very good and very knowledgeable at what they do. Helped me achieve more than I'd have ever been confident enough to do on my own! Fun, relaxed and friendly environment with great people, the music is questionable though

Fantastic experience: Been training with these guys for a year and a half on and off and always enjoyed it. Good banter, great equipment and very friendly guys. Would 100% reccomend.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to learn to lift or already weight train but want to up your game Learning To Lift are the guys for you! Great atmosphere in the classes and both are very knowledgable trainers with a varied training style. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough, I do PT with Allen and it’s the best thing I’ve done!

Fantastic experience: Allen and Learn to Lift training have been outstanding for me in developing my lifting techniques to unlock strength I never thought I had. Allen has created such a positive environment with his coaching either via the boot camp classes or through personal 1-2-1 training tailored to your needs and wants I can’t recommend Allen, Chris and Learn to Lift highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing guys, amazing training sessions and amazing groups of people. Strength has gone up so much and the guys have helped massively with form.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Chris and Allen’s bootcamp for a couple of years now and I can honestly say I look forward to each session, which isn’t something I’ve felt about exercise before. I’ve progressed so much in my strength and general fitness because of their support, motivation, tracking and target setting to achieve my goals. Between them, their classes and the brilliantly empowering community they’ve built, my view of exercise and what I want to get from working out has changed; I no longer workout to be slimmer but rather to become strong, to become fit and to keep my physical and mental health in check.

Fantastic experience: The expertise in lifting and ethos created by Learn to Lift is excellent. Both Allen and Chris are knowledgeable in a wide variety of training techniques and strength sports, and both take the time to really get to know you and your fitness goals before applying their knowledge. The classes that run are always challenging, well ran and a great lifting environment. Ive had many PBs off the back of the encouragement of other members and look forward to the next class! Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing boot camp run by two great guys who really know their stuff. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Learn to lift training has been the best experience for me! I joined after serious illness, at a point where I was physically very weak. A year of training with Allen and Chris and I was lifting 10x what I was prior. I have grown in confidence and in strength. Their focus on technique means that I have never injured myself and have managed to consistently progress in my lifts. I can’t thank them enough for providing such great coaching.

Fantastic experience: Since starting training with Allen and Chris I have improved my lifting technique considerably. It has only taken a few weeks with their guidance to gain more confidence in how to lift effectively and I am sure that I’ll set better PB’s in the next few months than I’d make continuing to train alone!
