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.
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.
