Cerys James — Personal Trainer at PureGym Aberdare

Science meets real-world coaching

Cerys James is a BSc-qualified personal trainer and Sports & Exercise Sciences graduate based at PureGym Aberdare, specialising in sport-specific training, nutritional guidance and bespoke programming. Based at PureGym Aberdare, she helps people across Aberdare, Mountain Ash and Hirwaun feel fitter, stronger and more confident — and actually enjoy the journey.

Cerys is a runner at heart. Alongside her degree, she's built her coaching philosophy from years of training herself — understanding what works on paper and what works on a Tuesday evening when you're tired, busy, and just need the plan to meet you where you are.

"My mission is simple: to help you feel fitter, stronger, and more confident — and enjoy the journey along the way."

Every session is 1-2-1 and tailored. No off-the-shelf programmes, no guesswork. Cerys combines evidence-based programming with the kind of straightforward, warm coaching that makes the gym feel less like an obligation and more like something to look forward to. Whether you're chasing a first 5k, rebuilding confidence, or ready to take your training seriously — you're in the right hands.

If this sparks your interest, Cerys would love to chat. Message her on WhatsApp, send an enquiry, or catch her on the gym floor.

No, you don't need any previous fitness experience. Cerys builds every session around your current level and goals — whether you've never set foot in a gym or you're a seasoned athlete chasing a PB. The plan adapts to you, not the other way around.

Cerys combines a BSc in Sports and Exercise Sciences with real-world coaching — meaning every session is grounded in evidence but tailored to how you actually train, work and live. No copy-paste programmes, just bespoke plans built around you. And if you're into running, you're training with someone who genuinely loves it.

Message Cerys directly on WhatsApp, use the contact form on this page, or catch her on the gym floor at PureGym Aberdare. The free consultation is a relaxed chat about your goals with no commitment and no pressure. If it feels right, you can book your first session there and then. If not, no worries at all.
