Welcome to Bodyworks Studio! Where fitness meets community in a friendly and supportive environment. It’s fun, effective, and great value!

Hi, I’m Katie – a busy mum of two, business owner, and long-time fitness lover living in beautiful Forres in the North East of Scotland. Fitness and health have always been a huge part of my life, and 12 years ago I turned that passion into a career. Since qualifying as an Advanced Level Personal Trainer with the European Institute of Fitness, I’ve helped hundreds of clients transform their lives – physically and mentally – across Glasgow, New Zealand, Australia, and now back home in Forres. I’m proud to introduce Bodyworks Studio – a brand new, fully equipped private training facility and Forres’s only small group personal training space. Small group PT offers all the benefits of one-to-one coaching with the motivation and energy of training in a supportive group of up to 6 like-minded people. Alongside small group PT, I also offer 1:1 Personal Training, Classes, and Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy – all tailored to help you build sustainable healthy habits that last a lifetime. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me out adventuring with my partner, kids and dog – usually in the woods or by the sea (surfboard optional!). I love sneaking in workouts and sharing healthy, delicious food ideas too. I can’t wait to welcome you to Bodyworks Studio and help you become the healthiest, happiest version of yourself.

One of the things we love most about BodyWorks is getting to know our clients properly. Yes, we train in small groups, but it’s still personal training, and that side of things is really important to us.

Every week, our clients have the opportunity to check in with us. Sometimes it’s just a chance to reflect on the week, share what’s gone well and celebrate a few wins. And we absolutely love hearing about those wins, whether they’re in the gym or outside of it!

But equally, not every week goes to plan. Sometimes life gets in the way, motivation dips, nutrition goes a bit off track or things just feel a bit harder than usual…And we’re here for all of that too.

We know our clients, we know their goals, we know when they’re off on holiday, what’s going on in their lives and what they might be struggling with.

We never want anyone to feel like they’re just turning up for a workout and then being left to get on with everything else themselves.

So here are a few of the lovely wins our clients have shared with us recently. We love reading these every week!

It’s not just about what happens in the gym. It’s about having people in your corner who genuinely care about how you’re getting on.

A wee look at what the BodyWorks coaches have been up to on our week off!

We’ve been closed for a week for some very well-earned (and much-needed!) time off, and it’s safe to say we’ve all made the most of it!

There’s been lots of DIY, delicious cakes, a trip to Lancaster, sunny walks, chilling with pets, anniversary celebrations, art galleries in London, Ibiza closing parties, horse riding, saunas, arts and crafts and lots of lovely family time!

We’ve also had sunrise kettlebell workouts on the beach (there’s always one! 😂), plenty of walks along rivers, lochs and beaches, and our in-house potter James has been busy making some rather interesting Dalí-style pottery eggs!

It’s been such a lovely week, and I think we all really needed that wee bit of time to switch off, do our own thing and recharge.

But we’re SO ready to get back tomorrow!

We’ve got a busy run-up to Christmas ahead (sorry, I said it! 🙈), 12 new faces joining us for our next 4-week trial, and Coach Jonny has just finished the new programming, so we’re all ready to go!

We’ve loved our week off, but we’ve missed the gym and all of you!

Can’t wait to see everyone back tomorrow! 💪🏼

This is something I’ve been thinking about since having my remedial massage last week. I was chatting to my therapist, who’s been doing this for around 20 years, and she said something that really stuck with me.

She said that particularly as women get older, she can genuinely feel the difference between the women who strength train and those who don’t. Not necessarily by how they look, but by how their bodies actually feel when she’s working on them. The difference in muscle and general robustness can be huge.

And it just got me thinking about what that actually means outside of the gym. Getting yourself up off the floor, carrying your shopping or a suitcase, climbing stairs, catching yourself if you stumble and, ultimately, staying active and independent as you get older.

For years I think so much of the conversation around women and exercise has been about how we look. But the older I get, and the more women we work with at BodyWorks, the more I think THIS is what strength training is really about.

We can’t stop ageing, but we can get stronger. The muscle and strength you build now are part of your retirement plan.

At BodyWorks we help women of all ages get stronger. Some have trained for years and others come to us having never really lifted weights before.

So if this has got you thinking that maybe it’s time to start investing in your future self, get in touch 💪

Lift heavy. Live strong. Stay independent.

WE’RE HIRING 💪

Ready to find your routine again after summer? (I know I am 🙋‍♀️)

Our next four-week trial starts the week of 17 August—just in time for the little darlings heading back to school. Yay 🥳

It’s for complete beginners, people getting back into training after a break, people who already train, and anyone who’s curious about what we do.

Over the four weeks, you’ll get:

* Eight personal coaching sessions
* A full induction

* Fully planned and guided workouts
* Proper progressive training—no random workouts
* Unlimited coaching, support and accountability

You don’t need to plan anything or wonder what you should be doing. We take care of all that. You just need to turn up and train.

Spaces are limited, so send us a message with the word TRIAL if you’d like to know more.

One whole year. ❤️

A year ago, walking through our doors felt scary.

Fast forward 12 months… just look at her! She looks absolutely incredible and is glowing. ✨

As amazing as the physical transformation is, what has been even more special is watching her confidence grow. Week after week, we’ve seen her become physically and mentally stronger, believe in herself more and achieve things she never thought she could.

Her message says it all…

“A whole year 😍 Can’t believe I was so nervous walking through them gym doors. Can’t thank you all enough for your support and giving me the confidence to carry on.”

This is exactly why we do what we do.

At Bodyworks, it has never been about being the fittest person in the room. It’s about helping people become stronger, healthier and happier, while giving them the confidence to live their fullest lives.

We want our members to feel stronger, move better and have more energy in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s than they did in their 20s and 30s. To keep up with their children and grandchildren, travel, enjoy their hobbies and do the things they love without feeling held back.

If you’re reading this thinking, “I could never walk through those doors,” we promise you’re not alone. So many of our members felt exactly the same on day one.

The hardest part is taking that first step, and we’ll be right there with you every step of the way.

We are so proud of everything Rachel has achieved this past year. Thank you for trusting us with your journey. Here’s to the next chapter!💪

Thinking about starting but feeling nervous? Pop us a message. We’d love to help.

Yasmin’s story ❤️

This one’s a special one.

I’ve actually known Yasmin for years through massage, and I’d often (not very subtly 😂) tell her I thought she’d love strength training.

So when she messaged over a year ago to join our trial, I was so excited.

Watching Yasmin grow has been about so much more than getting stronger. It’s been seeing her confidence flourish, watching her tackle bigger bike rides, complete her first cycling event, hike mountains with her dog and realise just how capable she really is.

In Yasmin’s words…

“I always wanted to feel athletic. I tried Pilates, yoga, Body Pump, swimming, SUP, running… I even bought gym equipment for home. Nothing stuck.

Then I gave small group PT a go. I’ve now been cycling for two years and training twice a week for over a year. This community of supportive, genuine friends and coaches is the reason I’ve stayed consistent.

I feel less achey, my posture is better, I’m stronger in everyday life… and I really feel like, at 30, Iv found myself in this gym.” ❤️

Honestly, that’s why we do what we do.

Yasmin, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching you grow. Good luck with your next adventure down south. The BodyWorks family misses you already, and you’ll always have a place here x

Wow… how are we already halfway through 2026 🤯

The first 6 months of the year have absolutely flown by down at Bodyworks Studio and honestly what an incredible start to the year it’s been.

Looking back through these photos is such a lovely reminder of everything that’s happened in such a short amount of time.

Over 1,000 coached sessions.
Almost 200 people through our doors.
So many goals achieved, weights lifted and people doing things they never thought they could.

Which is actually crazy to think about!

Over the last 6 months we’ve had nutrition talks, workshops, community workouts, coffee & cake, family walks, our first mobility session and a lot of laughs along the way.

But honestly the best part has been watching the friendships, confidence and connections being made both inside and outside the gym.

Because this is exactly what we always wanted Bodyworks to be! Not just a gym you come in, train and leave.

A community. A place where people feel supported, encouraged and actually excited to look after their health.

A massive thank you to every single person who has been part of the journey so far — whether you’ve been with us from the start, joined us recently, came along for a trial or just popped in for a session.

You’ve all played a part in making Bodyworks what it is.

We’re closing the doors on the 6th of July for a week of some very much needed R&R ☀️

We can’t wait to come back refreshed and welcome everyone into their summer workouts. Have the best summer everyone.

The Bodyworks team x

❤️
