Meet me: Your personal trainer
I’m Carlton, a certified personal trainer based in Wilmslow, Cheshire. With a passion for fitness and specialising in individuals over 40, I offer personalised training programs both in-person at Total Fitness Wilmslow and through flexible online coaching. I can also come to your home or your gym, the choice is yours. My approach is centred on building lean muscle, improving mobility with smarter full range of motion and controlled resistance training. Ensuring you feel stronger, fitter and more energetic.
My Approach
As someone who understands the challenges of staying fit after 40, I know how important it is to exercise wisely. My approach is centred on sustainable training techniques that prioritise joint health and reduce injury risk, like time under tension and full range of motion-a proven method to build lean muscle without excessive heavy lifting.
Your muscles don’t care how heavy the weight is; they care about heavy it feels. My programs focus on longevity, helping you become the best version of yourself for years to come. At 57, I believe age isn’t an obstacle-it’s an opportunity. I specialise in creating personalised plans for individuals over 40, offering both in-person and online options so you can train wherever suits you best-at the gym or in the comfort of your own home.
To compliment your fitness journey, I’ll design a customised nutrition plan that works hand-in-hand with your workouts. Together, we’ll focus on building lean muscle, reducing body fat, boosting energy, and helping you feel stronger, healthier, and more vibrant than ever.

For health, longevity and lean muscle
The Importance of Nutrition as We Age
As we age, proper nutrition becomes even more vital for maintaining health and achieving fitness goals. Building and preserving lean muscle through resistance training is essential, but without the correct nutrition, progress can be slow and results difficult to achieve. Protein intake, balanced meals, and proper hydration all play key roles in supporting muscle growth, recovery, and overall energy levels. Combining strength training with a tailored nutrition plan ensures your body has the fuel it needs to perform and recover effectively. At Carlton PT, I create personalised nutrition plans designed to help you achieve optimal results. As you progress on your fitness journey, I’ll continually analyse and adjust your plan to ensure it evolves with your needs, keeping you on track toward your goals. Together, we’ll build a sustainable approach to fitness and nutrition that works for you.
