Why work with a personal trainer in St Margarets?
You can follow a workout from an app, but the real value of a personal trainer is the structure around it. After an initial fitness assessment, your trainer designs a programme around your goals, your starting point and your schedule, then keeps you accountable and progressing safely week to week.

You get focused, one-to-one attention with no gym membership and no travel.
What to look for in a personal trainer
Anyone can call themselves a trainer, so qualifications and experience matter. Before you commit, check that your personal trainer:
- Holds a recognised, up to date qualification such as REPs Level 3 or a Master Trainer accreditation.
- Is fully insured and first-aid certified.
- Carries out a proper assessment before prescribing exercise.
- Has genuine reviews from local clients.
- Can adapt sessions for specific needs, for example training over 50, during pregnancy, or around an injury or condition.
Scott McQuillan is a qualified Master Trainer (European Institute of Fitness) and a former WKO European Muay Thai champion, more recently crowned ISKA K1 British champion, with five-star reviews from clients across South West London. Every programme begins with a fitness assessment so the training is built around you.
Types of training available
A good personal trainer offers more than standard one-to-one sessions. Depending on your goals, you might choose:
- One-to-one personal training, fully tailored sessions with undivided attention.
- Partner training, sharing the session and the cost with a friend or partner, which is great for motivation.
- Boxing and Muay Thai pad-work, a fun, high-energy way to get fit, built into your session at a level that suits you.
- Nutrition coaching, because results come from the kitchen as much as the park.
- Online training, live one-to-one sessions over Zoom when meeting in person is not possible.
How much does a personal trainer in St Margarets cost?
Prices depend on whether you book single sessions or a discounted block, and whether you train one-to-one or with a partner. As a rule, buying sessions in a pack works out cheaper per session, and off-peak slots cost a little less than peak times. For a full, up to date breakdown, see the pricing page. It is also worth booking a free, no-obligation consultation first, so you can talk through your goals before spending anything.
Frequently asked questions
Do you come to me in St Margarets?
Yes. Sessions take place at your home or garden, or a local park such as Moormead Park, anywhere within about five miles of Richmond. Scott brings the equipment.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. A good trainer meets you where you are. Your first session includes an assessment, and the programme builds gradually, whether you are a beginner or returning after a break.
How many sessions a week should I do?
Most people see steady results with two or three sessions a week, alongside activity on the other days. Your trainer will suggest a realistic frequency for your goals and schedule.
What should I bring?
Comfortable workout clothes, supportive trainers and water. For outdoor sessions, dress for the weather and a light layer makes cooler mornings easier.
