Here is Robbie’s fitness story…
“I was first introduced to fitness as an athlete on the University of Stirling’s sports scholarship program. Back then, physical training was just part of life as a tennis player and, truthfully, I didn’t think much of it.
Despite my initial misgivings, I gradually began to fall in love with training. I was – and still am – fascinated by how the body and mind adapt to exercise.
I was in the final year of a Film and Journalism degree when I decided to complete my personal training certification. Upon graduation I spent a couple of years coaching in both commercial and private facilities, with mixed results. I soon came to realise that if my coaching was to have any meaningful impact, it had to be on my own terms.
My wife, Kirsty, and I opened Aristos in late 2015 as a counter to the noise and confusion of the fitness industry.
We wanted to put our members at the centre of the fitness experience.
We wanted to emphasise what the body can do, not how it looks.
We wanted people to value fitness for how it could enhance their lives.
Ten years later, we are still committed to making a positive change in the lives of our members. Even after all this time, I’m still in love with fitness. It’s a huge part of my life – whether I’m riding my bike, training with friends, swinging a racket or wrestling with my kids.”
