Shaun Corthals, personal trainer at PureGym Aberdeen Shiprow

About Shaun

Your coach,
your corner.

Shaun Corthals is a Level 3 certified personal trainer in Aberdeen, specialising in weight loss, muscle tone, body fat reduction, and body confidence. Based at PureGym Aberdeen Shiprow, he helps beginners and returning gym-goers rebuild their bodies and their self-belief — serving Aberdeen city centre, Torry, and Ferryhill.

If you're new to the gym and feel like everyone else knows what they're doing — they don't. If you've been training for a while but the mirror and the scale refuse to shift — Shaun's seen exactly why that happens, and knows how to fix it.

For me, personal training isn't just another job — it's a chance to show you what you're actually capable of.

Shaun's clients don't just hit their goals. They walk out of PureGym Shiprow standing taller, feeling stronger, and finally comparing themselves to no one. Whether it's that last stone you've been trying to lose for three years, or the muscle you've tried to build a dozen times before, the answer is almost never "try harder." It's "train smarter, with someone who's actually watching."

Got questions? Ask. Shaun promises — 9 times out of 10 he doesn't bite.

FAQ

Ask first.
Decide second.

Do I need gym experience to train with Shaun?

No — most of Shaun's clients walked into PureGym Aberdeen Shiprow never having lifted a weight in their lives.

Shaun builds every programme from where you are right now, explains every movement, and grows your confidence one session at a time. You do not need to know what a squat is on day one. You just need to turn up.

What does a first session with Shaun look like?

Your first session is a no-pressure consultation at PureGym Aberdeen Shiprow.

You chat through your goals, any injury history, what has worked before and what has not. Shaun maps out a plan, answers every question, and then you decide if you want to book in. No hard sell, no contracts on the spot.

How much does personal training with Shaun cost?

Pricing depends on how many sessions per week and the length of your programme.

Rather than list prices that do not fit your situation, Shaun prefers to understand your goal first and then send you the package that makes sense. Drop him a message on WhatsApp and he'll reply with the options.

Where are sessions held?

All sessions are held at PureGym Aberdeen Shiprow, Shiprow, Aberdeen AB11 5BW.

It's the city centre gym with plenty of parking nearby and easy access from Torry, Ferryhill, and the wider Aberdeen area. If you're unsure about the layout or feel nervous walking in alone, Shaun will meet you at reception on your first visit.

Can Shaun help with weight loss specifically?

Yes — weight loss is one of Shaun's core specialisms.

He combines structured resistance training, metabolic circuits, and honest nutrition guidance to help you drop body fat sustainably without crash dieting. Every plan is adjusted fortnightly based on what your body is actually doing, not what a chart says it should be.

What if I've tried and failed before?

Most of Shaun's clients had tried something before.

Shaun's job is to identify what went wrong last time and build a plan that actually fits your life. No judgement, no starting over pep talks — just a real strategy. The difference is having someone in your corner who adjusts the plan when life gets in the way.
