My background as a Physiotherapist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, and Powerlifter allows us to create training programmes that are built entirely around you – your goals, your body, your lifestyle, and your needs.

Whether you want to get stronger, improve your conditioning, or follow a plan that finally fits your life, we give you the structure and coaching to do it properly.

You don’t need guesswork. You need a plan – and a coach – that actually works.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came here to undergo physio therapy as u had a soft tissue injury in my back from deadlifting that hadn’t gone away after 2 weeks. I met with alistair who was very welcoming and lovely, he put me through thorough testing to see where the problem was and also explained to me his thought process so I’d understand the problem instead of other places where they don’t explain. He was clearly experienced and intelligent and had a rehab program ready for me within a few hours. now my back is underway to get back to PB’s and competitions for my powerlifting. Thanks Alistair!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started training with Alistair 6 months ago for lower back pain and a hamstring injury. I immediately appreciated Alistair's can do attitude combined with his expert knowledge of injuries and strength training. Yesterday, I hit my bodyweight on squats, and have my first race in years in two weeks. Thanks Alistair!

Alistair has always been very attentive, listening to the problem and giving clear steps for rehab and strengthening the affected area. I’d highly recommend Alistair.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t thank Alistair at Fortis enough for the incredible work he did on my rotator cuff and bicep tendon. After struggling with pain for months, I’m now completely pain-free and able to train again without any discomfort. The treatment plan was spot-on, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with similar injuries.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Alistair for a physio appointment related to my hip. Not only did he give me good advice regarding my hip flexor rehabilitation but also helped me with my squatting technique. Alistair took the time to explain what the issue was as well as how to resolve it, and I now have no hip pain at all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant experience working with Ali. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his coaching and really knows his stuff.

I've been working with Ali for a while now and he has helped me develop my strength whilst rehabbing an elbow injury. The programme he has put together has been well thought out and personalised. He is quick to respond with feedback via WhatsApp and the regular drop in sessions give a great opportunity to get in person feedback.

The injury rehab has been thorough - he won't just get you back to good enough he will do everything to make sure you have properly recovered. All the while giving a clear explanation of his assessment.

If you are looking for either a strength coach or physio (or both!) then I would recommend getting in touch with Ali at Fortis.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exercises provided by my previous physiotherapist just made my lower back problems worse. Ali provided me with a set of core strengthening exercises that I can do from home, and is also happy to advise via WhatsApp, which is invaluable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started coaching from Ali back in September after several problematic stints lifting. I'd previously had lower back pain and was seeking some help in lifting properly without injury, whilst also toning up. From a friend (a former champion powerlifter) recommending Ali, I had high hopes in fixing my form and getting into lifting heavier.

Ali has all but exceeded my expectations for personal training and group coaching. He doesn't scream at you to do 100 reps, but gently pushes you past your limits to help you discover new horizons you never thought possible. His knowledge of training is second to none, fixing form issues and tweaking errors through visual demonstration, and consistently monitors your progress outside of sessions through spreadsheets and video updates. And he does all of it with a friendly and cheery demeanour.

When I think back to when I started last autumn, my form was miles off proper technique and was only severing to injure myself further. Ali swiftly identified and corrected these issues, and now I am lifting far more than I ever was before. My general fitness has skyrocketed, and I no longer have any back pain. Without a doubt, I could not have achieved this without the help of Edinburgh's foremost coach and expert physiotherapist who goes the extra mile for you.
