Stuart Wilson

Stuart has been a part of the Melbourne fitness scene for nearly a decade, bringing with him a diverse sporting background and passion for movement from his roots in the UK. With experience across strength training, running, and combat sports, he takes a well-rounded and holistic approach to coaching – one that balances science-based methods with genuine human connection.

His fitness journey began during his time playing American Football at university, where he “fell in love with the impact that exercise can have on a person’s life. Be it physically, mentally and emotionally, the human body is an incredible mechanism. It can be trained to make simple daily tasks easier, all the way through to achieving amazing feats of performance.” Originally earning a degree in Criminology and spending time in a corporate role, Stuart soon realised his true calling was in helping others through movement. Since then, he has earned his training certificates and Diploma in Fitness, dedicating the past eight years to working across Strength & Conditioning, injury prevention, and training older adults.

As a coach, Stuart is empathetic yet honest. He knows when to push and when to listen and always aims to celebrate his clients’ progress—something often overlooked in the hustle of everyday life. He believes in empowering people through training, meeting each client where they are, and always looking at the bigger picture of their journey.

A self-described jack of all trades, Stuart is a lifter, runner, hybrid athlete, and martial artist with 17 years of karate experience. He actively trains in jiu-jitsu and has competed in everything from soccer to American football. His love of learning keeps him constantly evolving as an athlete and a coach.

Outside the gym, Stuart fosters rescue dogs, has an eclectic music taste, and never says no to a great coffee or a good Scottish single malt. He approaches each day with gratitude and a commitment to never stop growing.
