Sam Barnes
Hello,
I'm Sam Barnes. Online coach, personal trainer and founder of Self-Made Coaching, based here in the UK.
​
In 2018 I had a vision to help as many Transgender individuals around the globe as I possibly could. During this time, I've had the honour of working with some incredible individuals. From the clients I've coached, to the educators and fellow professionals I've worked alongside.
​
I'm able to use my personal journey as a way to relate to each client I work with. I began my transition in 2014, and I know first hand how challenging that process can be. For me, the one consistent part to my life over those years was the gym. I was able to take control of certain parts of my body, and use my time working out to switch off from the world.
​
If you're looking to make a positive change, and get in shape with someone who understands, let's chat some more.
