--- title: News & Events | Barry Stephen description: "I have been working in the industry now for close to 12 years and I can honestly say I feel like the luckiest guy in the world being able to do a job that I absolutely love.\n\nIn this time I have learnt from a variety of different people and I am continually reinvesting in my personal development in order to offer the best service possible to all of our customers. My family, my clients and the guys that work for me inspire me. Seeing them achieve results beyond what they thought were possible is a real motivation for me. I thoroughly enjoy working with everyday people and helping them in their journey whatever the goal may be.\n\nAs well as being a personal trainer and gym manager I also work as a Strength and Conditioning coach having worked with athletes from many different fields. I spent 18 months in a part time role at Partick Thistle Football Club, which was a great experience.\n\nI have developed a passion for helping other Personal Trainers improve their skills, which is why I offer our educational workshops and mentorships. Ive won awards in this field and feel I have a large amount of experience and expertise I can pass on. I have also taught and assessed for Fitness Training Scotland delivering kettle-bell, gym instructor and personal training courses and have taught and assessed the Level 1 Weightlifting Course for British Weightlifting." --- [![logo-bspt-e1551879706699 copy](https://barrystephen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-bspt-e1551879706699%20copy.png?width=300&height=174&name=logo-bspt-e1551879706699%20copy.png "logo-bspt-e1551879706699 copy")](https://barrystephen.com) - [Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/) Personal Training - [1-2-1 Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/1-2-1-training/) - [Buddy Sessions](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/buddy-sessions/) - [Group PT](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/group-pt/) - [Online Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/online) - [Classes](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/classes/) Classes - [Youth Classes](https://barrystephen.com/classes/youth-classes) - [Gym Membership](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-in-aberdeen/) - [About](https://barrystephen.com/about/) About - [Meet The Team](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen-2/) - [Results](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen/) - Resources Resources - [Blog](https://barrystephen.com/news-events) - [Podcast](https://barrystephen.com/podcast) - [E-Books](https://barrystephen.com/online-personal-training/e-books/) - [Fitness Retreat](https://barrystephen.com/fitness-retreat-2025) - [Contact](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-near-me/) [![logo-bspt-e1551879706699 copy](https://barrystephen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-bspt-e1551879706699%20copy.png?width=300&height=174&name=logo-bspt-e1551879706699%20copy.png "logo-bspt-e1551879706699 copy")](https://barrystephen.com) - [Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/) Personal Training - [1-2-1 Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/1-2-1-training/) - [Buddy Sessions](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/buddy-sessions/) - [Group PT](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/group-pt/) - [Online Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/online) - [Classes](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/classes/) Classes - [Youth Classes](https://barrystephen.com/classes/youth-classes) - [Gym Membership](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-in-aberdeen/) - [About](https://barrystephen.com/about/) About - [Meet The Team](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen-2/) - [Results](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen/) - Resources Resources - [Blog](https://barrystephen.com/news-events) - [Podcast](https://barrystephen.com/podcast) - [E-Books](https://barrystephen.com/online-personal-training/e-books/) - [Fitness Retreat](https://barrystephen.com/fitness-retreat-2025) - [Contact](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-near-me/) [![Barry Stephen Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-bspt-e1551879706699.png?width=300&height=174&name=logo-bspt-e1551879706699.png "Barry Stephen Personal Training")](https://barrystephen.com) - [Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/) Personal Training - [1-2-1 Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/1-2-1-training/) - [Buddy Sessions](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/buddy-sessions/) - [Group PT](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/group-pt/) - [Online Personal Training](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/online) - [Classes](https://barrystephen.com/personal-training-aberdeen/classes/) Classes - [Youth Classes](https://barrystephen.com/classes/youth-classes) - [Gym Membership](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-in-aberdeen/) - [About](https://barrystephen.com/about/) About - [Meet The Team](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen-2/) - [Results](https://barrystephen.com/about/personal-trainer-aberdeen/) - Resources Resources - [Blog](https://barrystephen.com/news-events) - [Podcast](https://barrystephen.com/podcast) - [E-Books](https://barrystephen.com/online-personal-training/e-books/) - [Fitness Retreat](https://barrystephen.com/fitness-retreat-2025) - [Contact](https://barrystephen.com/gyms-near-me/) ![Barry Stephen](https://barrystephen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/home-hero-image.png?width=120&name=home-hero-image.png) # Barry Stephen I have been working in the industry now for close to 12 years and I can honestly say I feel like the luckiest guy in the world being able to do a job that I absolutely love.
