OUR MISSION

At Gift McLaren Personal Training, our mission is to help people become the best versions of themselves. The simple truth is, life is better when you’re in shape.

​

When you’re fit, your mood improves, your relationships get stronger, and your ability to focus, sleep, and enjoy life all improve. Fitness is more than just a physical change—it’s a lifestyle change that impacts everything else.

​

We know it can be discouraging to put in hours of effort without seeing results, or to backslide after initial success. That’s why we focus on cultivating healthy habits that will replace your old, unproductive ones in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Who am I?

 

What Can I Do for You?

 

How Can I Help You Overcome the Roadblocks that have held you back?

 

I’m Gift McLaren and I’m the personal trainer who will help you finally get the results you’ve been chasing.

 

I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and experience and I had a thirst for unlocking its potential.

 

In my pursuit, I’ve experienced my own potential, with a successful career in a treble-winning football team, and competing at the national level in sprinting.

 

At the same time, I invested much of my time as a caregiver to my disabled niece.

 

Having both of those experiences taught me some incredible things about the human ability to transform.

 

That ability is triggered by trauma, but best nurtured with empathy, understanding, actionable guidance, and resilience.

 

It’s for that reason that I focus on an entirely holistic approach to fitness.

 

One that encompasses the physical actions and transformations necessary while giving ample room and support for the internal transformations necessary.

I’ll help you:

 

  • Get to the psychological root of the issues holding you back
     

  • Reshape yourself and your habits into the best version of you
     

  •  Stick to the new path that you’ve set for yourself, even when you want to quit

 

So, if you’re ready to finally become the best version of yourself, then click the link below to get started now.
