# APEX Strength Training
APEX Strength Training is a personal training facility based in Kilmarnock that specialises in strength training for clients seeking meaningful, life-changing results. The business caters to individuals with diverse goals—whether weight loss, performance improvement, general health or sport-specific training—rejecting the one-size-fits-all gym model in favour of completely tailored experiences.
What sets APEX apart is their unwavering commitment to personalisation and inclusivity. Every client receives bespoke programming rather than generic templates or group workouts, with trainers focusing on individual needs, movement mechanics and injury prevention. The facility deliberately creates a welcoming environment where members feel they belong, removing the intimidation factor common in traditional gyms.
The team comprises three highly qualified trainers: co-founder Kenny Picken, a powerlifting and Olympic lifting competitor with 15 years' experience specialising in rehab and performance; co-founder Pamala Sharpe, a certified nutritionist with 13 years' experience and specialisation in women's health and fat loss; and Erin Adam, a full-time trainer since 2018 who emphasises confidence-building alongside strength progression. Their combined expertise spans pre and post-natal exercise, nutrition science, sport-specific training, boxing pad-work and movement coaching.
The client journey begins with a free initial consultation followed by a complimentary follow-up session, allowing prospective members to experience the facility's approach before committing. This philosophy—that strong is for everyone—underpins everything APEX does.
