From career crossroads to coaching success

Alistair Williamson – From Warehouse to Weights

After working as an engineer for United Utilities for most of his adult life, Alistair Williamson knew he wanted a change. He had always been passionate about fitness but lacked a clear route into the industry.

After enrolling in our Skills Bootcamp, Alistair thrived, demonstrating dedication, resilience, and a growing confidence. His hard work paid off: he completed the course, achieved his personal training qualification, and quickly made headlines in his local area for transforming his career.

Alistair now works as a full-time Personal Trainer, helping others achieve their own fitness goals, and his story was even featured in Warrington Worldwide, inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.

James Costigan – A Fresh Start with Coach Coso

James Costigan joined our programme at one of the most difficult times in his life. After losing his restaurant business and going through a divorce, James was looking for a clean slate.

He enrolled with full commitment, eager to turn his passion for fitness into a meaningful vocation. Throughout the course, James stood out for his professionalism, attitude, and desire to learn. After graduating, he launched his own PT and nutrition business, Coach Coso, which has gone from strength to strength.

James’s journey is a testament to how resilience and the right support can turn a personal low point into a new, fulfilling chapter.
