Chris Birnie is a Level 4 back pain specialist and personal trainer in Aberdeen, specialising in injury rehabilitation, posture correction, sport-specific training, and bespoke programming. Based at BWB Fitness at the H1 Building on Hill of Rubislaw, he helps people recover from pain, build strength, and get back to the activities they love — serving Aberdeen, Rubislaw and the wider West End.
At BWB Fitness, Chris offers the full spectrum of training and therapy — personal training, strength and conditioning, sports massage, postural correction, GP referrals, and rehab work for lower back problems. But what makes it different is where it comes from.
"I've had back surgery myself. That's what pushed me into training in the first place. I know exactly how frustrating that pain feels — and I know what actually gets you out of it."
So whether you've spent years nursing an injury, you're eyeing your first Hyrox (Chris has competed too), you're training for a challenge — he's done Everest Base Camp — or you just want to get fit and stay that way, the programme is built around you. Assessment-led. Rehab-aware. Actually enjoyable.
Every block is designed to be creative and genuinely engaging — because the best programme is the one you'll actually turn up for.
