My Mission

Athena, Goddess of War and Wisdom, Courage, Strength and Skill.
We Are Athena

Hi there, my name is Kimberley (or Coach Kim!) I help people gain empowerment of body and mind through the medium of strength focussed training & powerlifting.

Athena Personal Training is inspired by my passion for strength and helping people reconnect to their own version of being strong. Strength comes in many forms and physical strength can act as the catalyst for growth in areas of your life which may take you by surprise.

I am dedicated to guide you in building that stronger version of yourself.

Have a browse through my website and don’t hesitate to drop me a message through my contact page, I’d love to hear from you!

Why Choose Athena?

Whether you want to get stronger inside and out, (re)connect to your body or want to enhance your lifting performance, Athena is the place for you.

I coach people from every walk of life. From complete novices stepping into the gym for the very first time, to lifters who want to improve their strength skill set.

The Athena community is a supportive bunch who cheer each other on through social media, our private community Whatsapp group, and at our community events.

Together, we are a force to be reckoned with!

Lifting individual endeavour; ultimately it’s your own performance under the bar, but it sure is a great feeling to have continuous support from an experienced coach and a community of likeminded people.

My coaching is person-centered which means the focus is on you and your needs which the training plan will be tailored around. I place a big emphasis on holistic health, with a spotlight on mental health.

This is what sets Athena apart and what we cherish most about our uniqueness!

About Coach Kim

Kimberley WIlson | COACH and founder of athena

I have always looked for a deeper meaning in everything I do, which drew me to becoming a coach. With a deep interest into the psychological benefits of strength training and a real fondness of helping people, I created ATHENA.

I started my coaching journey in 2015, and I competed in my first powerlifting competition in 2017. I have since then competed in several powerlifting competitions, and successfully coached several lifters to compete in regional and national competitions. Powerlifting for me, became the medium through which I regained my connection to myself. I believe feeling more capable through strength training and having that physical outlet was at the core of it.

I care about people more than I care about kilograms on the barbell, and my coaching reflects this. The connections I build with my clients are what keep me passionate about my work. Every single one of my clients are a unique individual with their own story and journey.

One of my greatest achievements as a coach have been organising our ‘Athena Meets’, charity events where my lifters can test out meet environment whilst helping a charity of choice. Over the years we have donated to the charities Circle, SAMH, and YoungMinds.
