“At CW Fitness Studio, we’re not just about training - we’re about building a community that lifts each other up. When you change your habits and surround yourself with the right people, everything shifts - energy, mindset and results. This is your place to grow, push boundaries and be the best version of you”
CHRIS WILSON - FOUNDER OF CHRIS WILSON FITNESS STUDIOS
CHRIS HAS BEEN A PERSONAL TRAINER FOR 18 YEARS IN AUSTRALIA, UK AND AMERICA.
Looking back on my journey as a Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach, I’m incredibly proud of the milestones along the way. After earning a BSc in Sport and Physical Education in Cardiff, Wales, I’ve spent over 18 years coaching clients of all levels - from everyday individuals to elite athletes.
My career has included working with Wales Rugby and the Ospreys Rugby Team, supporting Olympic athletes and helping clients achieve life-changing transformations, including weight losses of over 50kg. I’ve also led corporate training and wellness programs for Apple, Microsoft and lululemon, blending performance science with real-world results.
Today, I’m proud to lead Chris Wilson Fitness Studios - a collection of premium boutique training spaces across Perth, including Nedlands, Highgate, Applecross and South Perth - with more locations coming soon. Each studio is built around a commitment to world-class coaching, community connection and results-driven training.
I moved to Perth from the UK in 2012, after working at the world-renowned Goodwood Estate in West Sussex for the Duke of Richmond. I arrived with just a backpack and $50 to my name, and spent my first year here without a permanent place to call home.
Not long after arriving, I also experienced one of the toughest moments of my life - losing my dad back in the UK. Those early years taught me resilience, perspective and the power of purpose. I know what it’s like to start with nothing, to feel lost and to struggle for direction - and that’s exactly why our studios exist: to help people rebuild, find strength and become the best version of themselves.
Since then, I’ve rebuilt from the ground up - starting again as a Personal Trainer and growing into a team of over 20 incredible coaches across our Perth studios.
Together, we’ve created more than just gyms - we’ve built a community that celebrates progress, connection and possibility.
In 2021, I proudly opened our first Chris Wilson Fitness Studio in Nedlands - Perth’s original exclusive boutique fitness space, designed for just 75 members. What started as a single vision has since evolved into a collection of premium studios across Perth, each defined by small-group training, world-class coaching and a strong sense of community. We’ve expanded our offerings to include joint memberships with Bodyscape and Energy Cntr Yoga, giving members access to yoga, meditation and recovery - a truly holistic approach to health and performance.
Beyond the studio, I’m passionate about giving back - supporting charities such as Telethon and Vinnies and mentoring the next generation of fitness business owners. Our studios have been recognised globally, earning a Top 5 nomination for Boutique Fitness Studio of the Year at the Beyond Activ World Fitness & Wellness Awards in Singapore.
As proud as I am of everything we’ve built, my greatest joy will always be being a dad to our three incredible children, alongside my wife, Rosanna.
