Personal Training Built Around You
Collins Fitness takes an individual approach to personal training, helping people from all walks of life move better, build strength and achieve lasting physical progress. Based in a private studio in the heart of the City of London, our training is built around understanding the individual, their lifestyle, physical history and personal aspirations.
Before embarking on any programme, I take the time to understand how each person moves, identifying established movement patterns, physical limitations and areas for development. Whether the goal is to get back on track after a period away from training, address weaknesses, improve mobility or build strength and conditioning from the ground up, the focus is on creating a solid foundation for sustainable, long-term progress.
Founded by Adrian Collins, Collins Fitness combines a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Northampton with professional personal training qualifications gained through the Australian Institute of Fitness. This background underpins a considered, individual approach to training, with programmes tailored to the person rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
From those new to structured exercise to experienced athletes and professionals looking to perform at their best, Collins Fitness provides focused, personalised training designed to help you move with confidence, build resilience and achieve your individual goals.

Hernia Journey:
From Setback
to Rebuilding Strength
Understanding the Problem and Finding a Way Forward
My experience with an inguinal hernia began in childhood. Like many active youngsters, years of sport and physical activity coincided with an underlying weakness in my groin. For much of my life, it remained manageable, allowing me to continue weight training, undertake demanding building and construction work, and maintain an active lifestyle.
Through experience, I learned to pay close attention to movement, technique, breathing and core control. However, managing a physical issue and understanding how to move forward from it are two very different things.
The Turning Point: An Injury in Portugal
During a trip to Portugal, I collided with a metal bollard while moving through a crowded area, striking the existing weak point in my groin. Following this incident, my hernia became significantly more troublesome, affecting both my training and everyday physical activities.
Movements I had previously taken for granted became more difficult to manage. Heavy lifting and certain core-intensive exercises caused discomfort, and I had to reconsider how I approached exercise, work and physical activity.
As someone whose life and profession revolve around training and movement, this was a turning point. It reinforced the importance of understanding the body, respecting the recovery process and recognising that returning to physical activity requires more than simply picking up where you left off.
Surgery Is One Step. Rebuilding Strength Is the Next.
Following a specialist consultation with Mr Francesco Di Maggio, I decided to undergo surgical treatment to address my hernia. Finding the right medical support was an important part of that process, but it also brought another question into focus: how do you safely and confidently return to training, physical work and everyday life after hernia surgery?
For many people, the challenge does not end when the operation is over. There can be uncertainty around movement, lifting, rebuilding strength and knowing how much to do, and when. For those who have always been active, the prospect of starting again can be particularly frustrating. This is where I want my experience as a personal trainer to make a difference.
Helping You Return to Movement, Strength and Confidence
Through Collins Fitness, I am developing an individualised approach to post-hernia surgery training, designed to help people work towards a confident return to exercise and everyday physical activity.
My approach starts with the individual, not a standardised programme. Everyone arrives with a different training history, lifestyle, level of conditioning and experience of their hernia. Understanding these differences is essential when planning an appropriate route forward.
Working within the guidance of your surgeon and healthcare team, the aim is to build progressively from your current capabilities, developing movement quality, general strength, physical conditioning and confidence as your recovery allows.
Whether your goal is to return to the gym, get back to physically demanding work, lift and carry with greater confidence, or simply feel comfortable moving through everyday life again, the focus is on establishing a solid foundation and progressing at an appropriate pace.
My goal is to help you move forward, rebuild your physical capabilities and return to the activities that matter to you.
If you are recovering from inguinal hernia surgery and want support with your return to training, Collins Fitness aims to provide a considered, individual approach to that next stage of your journey.

Corporate Wellbeing & Workplace Performance
Collins Fitness delivers engaging corporate fitness and wellbeing sessions designed to help businesses create healthier, more energised and productive working environments. Through a combination of practical movement, expert guidance and accessible education, I help teams understand how everyday habits, posture and physical activity influence their health, comfort and performance at work.
With experience delivering sessions to large groups and presenting on stage, including work at Samsung Village in Milan, I bring an engaging, practical approach to corporate wellbeing. The focus is on helping people understand their bodies, recognise the impact of desk-bound working and discover simple ways to introduce more movement into their daily routines.
From improving awareness of posture and movement patterns to incorporating activity into a demanding working day, each session provides practical strategies that employees can apply immediately. Whether your team works primarily at desks, operates in a hybrid environment or spends long hours on the move, the aim is to encourage healthier habits that support long-term wellbeing, physical resilience and a more positive approach to work.

I have been working with Adrian for around five months now,
and in this short time, I have seen real and meaningful progress in my
strength, mobility, and physique.
Adrian has created a tailor-made programme for me that I can fit
around my very demanding schedule. He has taken me back to
ground-zero and started from the bottom-up with foundational
training that has made all the difference for my strength training.
He has changed my entire approach to exercise with a routine that is
now becoming a lifestyle, rather than a chore.
