Meet Andrew Raeburn
Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach
I’m Andrew Raeburn, a Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach, and Pilates Instructor based in Edinburgh. I work with people of all ages and abilities, supporting them to move better, feel stronger, and build long-term health in a way that fits their lifestyle.
I offer personal training, strength and conditioning, Pilates, mobility, and wellbeing coaching, delivered through 1:1 sessions, small groups, classes, and online coaching. My approach is inclusive, personalised, and grounded in evidence-based movement, with a strong focus on technique, confidence, and sustainable progress.
I’ve coached and taught across gyms, studios, hotels, community settings, and online platforms. My experience includes working with Pilates Scotland, Tribe Yoga, Parkinson’s UK, and the Kimpton Hotel, and I currently serve as Head of Performance for the Scottish Powerchair Football Team.
My philosophy is simple:
Fitness should fit your life, support your lifestyle, and help you feel your best – physically and mentally no matter what your background.
Retreats & Immersive Experiences
Alongside weekly coaching, I host wellness retreats in Scotland and abroad, bringing together movement, strength training, Pilates, yoga, mindset coaching, rest, and nourishing food in inspiring locations.
These retreats are designed to help people reset, reconnect, and build healthier habits away from everyday distractions — all within a supportive, inclusive environment suitable for all levels. I work with clients in person across Edinburgh and online, making coaching and retreats accessible wherever you are.

“Lucked out when I contacted Andrew about PT sessions. He is 100% in your corner focusing on your individual health goals despite life’s curveballs. Andrew has an innate ability to challenge in a supportive way to help you consistently improve strength and overall wellbeing. Working with him has helped reignite the ‘buzz’ from exercise from years ago and I always seem to leave his sessions with a smile”

“I’m SO pleased I made the decision to come on Drew & Chaz’s retreat.. what a wonderful experience! The location was dreamy and that was just the start. Both hosts had an incredibly peaceful energy that really was contagious. I loved trying Pilates for the first time and the surf lesson was lots of fun. This retreat provided a safe/welcoming space to try new activities and meet some lovely people. I learnt a lot about myself during the retreat but even now, a week after returning, lam still reflecting and learning. it really is the retreat that keeps on giving. Thank you for such a fantastic experience”

“For a first timer’s solo trip abroad, I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. I felt so welcomed and at ease from start to finish. The food, accommodation, itinerary was brilliant and exactly what you would hope for. What really made the trip was the energy that Andrew and Chaz bring. They are so welcoming and friendly allowing you to totally relax into the itinerary set for the retreat. I came away from the retreat feeling fully refreshed and rejuvenated and with lots of food for thought to take with me. 100% recommend to anyone looking to have a great trip with like minded people, reconnect with themselves and allow themselves the time to be involved in activities and experiences that feel nourishing for the soul”

“Really fantastic experience. Learning yoga, Pilates, surfing lessons and taking a breather from life. Couldn’t be a better location. Nailed that – Sagres has the perfect vibe for getting away. Nothing stressful about the place, friendly accommodating people. Highly recommend this!”

I have been attending Andrew’s Pilates for almost 2 years now and have to say that I love it! (even his ‘spicy squats’! 😂) having never tried it before it has made me fitter and I feel so much better now Started PT also and this has made a huge difference to my strength, as a women going through menopause, PT has really helped me 💪 Anyone thinking about trying Pilates or PT should definitely get in touch with Andrew 😀

This trip was a ton of fun and I would recommend it to ANYONE. At 61, I was a little nervous about taking my first-ever surfing lesson. Turned out it was one of the best things I ever did. Five days of Pilates, yoga, good conversation and stunning views. I Loved all the activities we managed to do each day and came home feeling stronger! Two thumbs up! Sign me up for next time, please!
