About AeroSport UK
We built AeroSport to solve a problem we experienced personally: finding a truly great personal trainer in the UK was harder than it should be. We're here to change that.
Who We Are
AeroSport was founded in 2021 by Abdulnazir Barmase, a lifelong athlete who spent 18 months trying to find the right strength coach after relocating from London to Bedfordshire. Despite living in a region with hundreds of qualified trainers, the process was exhausting: scattered directories, unverified profiles, no standardised quality benchmarks, and no way to assess trainer-client compatibility before investing in sessions.
The solution he built has grown into Great Britain's most trusted trainer booking platform, now hosting over 1,200 verified coaches and serving more than 18,000 active clients across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Our headquarters remain in Dunstable, Bedfordshire — right where the idea was born.
We are a team of 24 people: software engineers, fitness industry veterans, content specialists, client success managers, and quality assurance coaches who work together to ensure that every interaction on AeroSport — for both trainers and clients — is positive, productive, and safe.
What We Do
AeroSport is more than a directory. We are a full-service matching and quality assurance platform that makes finding and working with a personal trainer safe, simple, and effective.
Trainer Discovery
Our platform aggregates 1,200+ verified coaches across 50+ sports and makes them searchable and filterable by location, speciality, experience, price, and availability. Every trainer profile is detailed, honest, and based on verified information — not self-reported marketing copy.
Quality Verification
Every trainer undergoes our multi-step vetting process before appearing on the platform. We check qualifications, insurance, DBS clearance, and professional references. We conduct a practical coaching assessment and re-verify credentials annually. Quality is not optional at AeroSport.
Seamless Booking
Clients see real-time trainer availability and book sessions instantly without phone calls or emails. Our escrow payment system protects both parties, and our flexible cancellation policy (free cancellation up to 12 hours before any session) means neither side ever feels trapped.
Progress Tracking
Our client dashboard records every session, stores trainer notes, tracks key metrics over time, and generates progress reports. You can share your dashboard with your trainer, your GP, or a family member — or keep it entirely private. The data is yours.
Support and Safety
Our client success team is available seven days a week. We have a structured dispute resolution process, a safeguarding policy, and a zero-tolerance approach to trainer conduct that falls short of our standards. If something goes wrong, we fix it — promptly and fairly.
Community and Education
Beyond the booking platform, AeroSport publishes research-backed fitness guides, hosts free online workshops, and runs local community events that bring clients and coaches together. We believe informed clients get better results — and we invest in your education accordingly.
