Your Hitsona Livingston Coaches

Jill Ross – Head Coach and Manager

I didn’t start my fitness journey in a gym — I started it in real life.

For years, I trained on my own simply because I loved how it made me feel stronger, more confident and more in control of my health. But it wasn’t always easy. After having children and three C-sections, I experienced first-hand how tough it can be to rebuild your body, your energy and your mindset. I know what it’s like to gain baby weight, to feel like a stranger in your own body and to work hard to feel like you again.

Before becoming a personal trainer, I worked in banking for over 12 years. But after my son was born, I realised I needed more purpose, more passion and a career that truly made a difference. So I followed what I loved most, fitness. I retrained, earned my qualifications in gym instruction, personal training and group fitness and began working in the industry 15 years ago.

Since then, I’ve helped countless people transform their health, not just through workouts, but through understanding, support and realistic strategies that actually fit into everyday life.

What makes me different? I’ve lived it. I know what works and what doesn’t, because I’ve done it myself. I understand the emotional and physical challenges people face, especially when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’ve tried everything. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find their strength, rebuild their confidence and feel good in their own skin again.

There are so many people out there struggling to find the right support and I want them to know they’re not alone. If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

We promise you will find joy in exercise

Having fun with your workout is one of the things that most people struggle with in a regular gym, but it’s very important. After all, if you’re not enjoying exercising or you can’t find a gym in Livingston that offers exercises you enjoy, it can be impossible to build a good exercise routine.

At Hitsona Livingston, we have a group of coaches that offer fun and challenging workouts and games, helping our members to come out of their shells and push themselves in a more enjoyable way. Exercise classes available in local Livingston gyms can feel like a bit of a chore, but our coaches at Hitsona Livingston go every step of the way to bring some more fun, with challenging games like Tag Team Target Zone and Climb the Hill adding more variety and fun than your average gym workouts.

UNMATCHED COMMUNITY & SUPPORT

Finding the right gym near Livingston isn’t just about locating somewhere with different classes, HIIT sessions or equipment. A big part of searching for a gym in Livingston should be looking for a fitness facility with a strong sense of community and regular people with a common interest in becoming healthy and happy.

We don’t call Hitsona the best gym in Livingston, because Hitsona Livingston is definitely not a gym. We focus on building a community of like-minded people that want to get healthy and happy together. Coaches like Jill Ross focus on inspiring others and helping them make their workout sessions fun and achievable. At Hitsona Livingston we work hard to create a space where everyone feels supported whilst pushing members to achieve their best possible results. We have a ‘no egos’ policy and the perfect environment for regular people to exercise in a fully inclusive space.

Our Livingston fitness center doesn’t just focus on the community inside the gym, but we also aim to help important causes in and around the Livingston area. We are keen to work with a series of local charities which are important or personal to our Hitsona Livingston members and in the coming months as our community grows we hope to raise money through events and other fun fundraising opportunities and challenges. Attending a fitness gym is all about self improvement, but we acknowledge that this is best done with the help of your friends, to keep you motivated and help you succeed in your potential to becoming a healthier, happier you!

No Mirrors, No Egos, No Posers, No Exceptions

You may be aware or seen the ongoing trend of people filming themselves when working out, or flexing in the mirror when at the gym. How other people look and behave in the local gym can be intimidating and other gym members may feel self-conscious and disheartened. As the best fitness studio in Livingston we want people to feel comfortable and at ease when they are exercising and in Hitsona Livingston we have a no mirrors, no egos, no posers, no exceptions policy. How you look isn’t important, it’s how you feel that matters to us!

Joining Hitsona Livingston isn’t about having a membership in your local gym and never actually going.  It’s about becoming part of a community and in our fitness studio you will find a safe place to exercise with no mirrors, no body builders and no gym bunnies. Without those distractions found in the regular big box gym, everyone can focus on achieving their own results without having to worry about posers or put off by someone flexing in the mirror. There are no egos at our Livingston fitness center and we have built a strong community of regular people that can’t be found in any local gym in the Livingston area.

3 Great Locations for Outdoor Exercise in Livingston

Almond Valley Heritage Centre

A family-friendly museum on a peaceful riverside site with friendly farm animals, working watermill and interactive displays. Explore fields and woodland walks, join in daily demonstrations and activities, and let the kids go wild in playgrounds, pedal carts and trampolines. Take a trip by tractor, ride the narrow-gauge railway, explore the museum, or bounce around in the indoor soft play area. Alpaca walks can be enjoyed as an exclusive addition to your visit to Almond Valley. The session lasts for about an hour, with the walk taking about 40 minutes. There is lots to see and do at Almond Valley indoors and out.

Addiewell Bing

To the north of West Calder lies this former oil-shale bing. Addiewell Bings is a nature reserve which now supports valuable wildlife habitat, including woodland, scrub and flower-rich grassland. It is a good example of how a post-industrial site can be transformed into a haven for wildlife. Once a derelict industrial site, Addiewell Bing is now a refuge for wildlife. The Bing was created by shale mining spoil. Years of planting have stabilised its slopes leaving diverse woodlands, naturally regenerated scrub and lots of wildlife. The area is perfect for a hike or run, but be sure to go at your own pace, the main goal is getting outdoors and in touch with nature.

Hermand Birchwood

Hermand Birchwood is an important area of birch woodland growing on the remnants of a raised bog. Blaeberry, heather and broad buckler fern grow in abundance on the woodland floor and the damp conditions favour mosses and lichens. If you fancy a stroll or run in this nature reserve, there is a small car park and a circular path with styles and kissing gates. Underfoot can be slippery at times so wear boots with a good tread. Please note, dogs are welcome on Hermand Birchwood nature reserve, if kept on a close lead as sheep are grazing on the meadow.

You’re deciding on a routine that works for you personally rather than anyone else, so listen to your body, think about what activity and exercise you enjoy doing and decide based on that.

Once you find an exercise class that works for you, commit to it fully, as this is the best way of seeing results as soon as you can.

Attending your HITSona Livingston gym vs. Home workout

Whilst a lot of people are confident that their home workout and gym setup is professional and can compete with the best, there are still fundamental differences between exercising at home and using your Livingston gym or fitness studio.

The first is the quality of coaches available to you. Gym training means that you access experts that know exactly what they’re doing and can improve your form and physique in real-time. Whilst you might try to film yourself at home and improve based on your recordings, that isn’t always something that yields results.

Having good people around you can also make a big difference. Doing high-intensity training in a small group setting means that you have a group of great people around you pushing you on, driving you to work out and achieve the best results for your body. Not only do you get the results you want, but you make some great friends.
