Hey there, I’m Hamish! After eight years of training in a functional fitness setting, I joined Valesco back in 2023, first as a member and now proudly as a coach with a CrossFit level 1 certification. What drew me in (and keeps me here) is the unbeatable sense of community and good vibes that fill the gym every day.
Valesco is filled with such an eclectic mix of uplifting personalities. It's my absolute pleasure to help members on their fitness journey and play my part in building the community.
The best part about coaching? It’s gotta be hyping everyone up for a tough workout with big energy and a banging playlist. Or perhaps helping someone push themselves to achieve a skill they didn’t think was possible.
Outside of the gym I run a catering business and cafe so I come in handy for top recommendations for the best coffee and places to eat.
Having joined Valesco Brislington in the summer, I can safely say this is my favourite gym to date! I have been a member of other functional fitness gyms previously but this one is so welcoming to everyone of all abilities and all of the coaches are lovely! Having felt like I hit a brick wall on my gym training, this was just the refresh and motivation I needed! If you’re thinking of joining then I highly recommend!

Love this gym! I joined a year ago and I have never gone to the gym more consistently before. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and friendly. They have created this beautiful atmosphere of community and support! It’s fun and satisfying to learn new skills and see myself getting better over time. I highly recommend Valesco!

I used to get really anxious about going to the gym and especially about lifting weights, but now I can’t wait to go and work out at Valesco Fitness Collective. The coaches are super supportive and the community is so lovely - everyone just wants the best for each other! No matter what level of fitness or ability you have, you are guided through all movements and workouts, so that you can give everything a go at your own pace! I’m now lifting weights I never thought I would lift, trying new skills on a weekly basis and can really see the progress after only a few months. The best community - I love it!
