# Simon M Jarvis - Personal Trainer & Movement Specialist
Simon M Jarvis operates a specialist personal training studio in Penicuik, Midlothian, focused on functional movement and muscular rehabilitation rather than conventional gym-based training. He works with clients who have lost natural movement patterns and flexibility due to sedentary lifestyles, addressing underlying imbalances before progressing to strength work.
Simon's approach is grounded in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), a diagnostic tool that identifies movement restrictions and imbalances. This enables him to create tailored programmes matched to each client's specific needs rather than applying generic fitness templates. His philosophy, inspired by Gray Cook's principle of "first move well, then move often," prioritises movement quality and rehabilitation as the foundation for sustainable fitness gains.
The business serves individuals across three primary areas: those seeking fat loss combined with muscle gain; people wanting to improve mobility and stability; and clients recovering from injuries who need structured rehabilitation support. This makes him particularly valuable for those with movement dysfunction, post-injury recovery needs, or those frustrated with standard personal training approaches that ignore underlying movement deficiencies.
What distinguishes Simon is his specialisation in movement assessment and rehabilitation rather than pure strength training or aesthetics. By diagnosing movement problems first, he helps clients build genuine functional fitness and reduce future injury risk—appealing to health-conscious clients seeking sustainable, intelligent training rather than quick fixes.
