Hi,

​My name is Brigitte Cummings and I am the Head Coach at Achievement Coaching. Over the last 10 years, I have helped many people to achieve their goals, may it be general fitness, weight loss, completing their first triathlon, or qualifying for a championship, and I find it ultimately rewarding.

I combine my love for coaching with sound scientific research through my work as a lecturer and tutor in Sport Science and Sport Psychology at the University of Edinburgh.

I am a Personal Trainer, Triathlon Coach, NLP Sport Practitioner, and hold an MSc in Performance Psychology.  

I am passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goal, and seeing real changes in people's lives. 

If you would like to train with me, just get in touch, I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Brigitte Cummings
