My Story

The story behind the strength.

Tiphannie Craig is a Level 3 certified personal trainer in Aberdeen, specialising in weight loss, sustainable strength, and coaching for special populations. Based at PureGym Kittybrewster, she helps people in Aberdeen, Old Aberdeen, and Woodside build strength, lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way, and develop a mindset that says strong not skinny.

I've personally battled anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to fit unrealistic body standards.

Through movement, discipline, and support, I've discovered that strength is about so much more than appearance — it's about showing up for yourself even when it's hard. Whether your goal is to drop body fat, lift heavier, feel more confident, or just feel like yourself again, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My approach isn't just about reps and macros — it's about empowerment. Together we'll set goals that matter to you, not society. We'll train with purpose, fuel your body, and celebrate every win. Whether you're just starting your journey or picking yourself back up again, I'll guide you with empathy, real-world experience, and evidence-based programming.

Questions

The honest answers.

Everything clients ask before their first session — answered properly.

Do I need gym experience to train with you?

No, you don't need any gym experience. I tailor every session to your current fitness level and build your confidence from day one — most of my clients started out feeling exactly the way you do now. Never stepped foot in a gym? Perfect. That's my favourite place to start.

What does "special populations" actually mean?

Special populations means clients who benefit from extra care in their programming. That could be anyone managing anxiety, returning from an injury, going through a health transition, or who has found mainstream fitness overwhelming. My approach is empathy-first and evidence-based — no one-size-fits-all workouts, no pushing through pain for the sake of it.

Will I have to diet or count calories?

Not in a miserable way. I teach sustainable nutrition that works with your life — no crash diets, no foods off-limits, no guilt. The goal is fuelling your body so you feel strong, not starving yourself smaller. If counting helps you, great. If it doesn't, we'll use other tools.

What happens at the free consultation?

You'll have a relaxed chat with me at PureGym Kittybrewster. I'll ask about your goals, any health considerations, and what's worked (or not worked) for you before. No pressure, no sales pitch — just an honest conversation to see if we're a good fit. You'll leave with clarity whether you decide to train with me or not.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients feel stronger and more energised within the first 3-4 weeks. Visible body changes typically follow between weeks 6-12, depending on your starting point and consistency. I track progress every fortnight so you always know you're moving forward — even in the weeks the mirror lies to you.

I've struggled with body image and anxiety — is this the right place for me?

Yes — this is exactly the right place. I've personally battled anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to fit unrealistic body standards. My coaching philosophy is "strong not skinny" and every programme is designed to build you up, not shrink you down. You won't be judged, you won't be rushed, and you won't be sold a fantasy — just supported, properly.
