An Edinburgh personal trainer has been named as the 'best in the UK' after managing to beat out thousands of others across the country.
Local PT Amy Murray was given the impressive title at the National Fitness Awards in Leicester this week after working as one of the team at the Synergy Group Fitness Gyms for the last few years.
Achieving "remarkable" results for her range of clients, Amy has been working in one-to-one sessions and running group classes at the gym's branches, who are based in Edinburgh and Livingston.

Speaking about the award, Amy said: “It’s utterly overwhelming to be considered as the UK’s best personal trainers, I was honestly speechless when they said my name.
"It is unarguably the most proud moment of my working life.”
Synergy Group Fitness was also able to scoop the highly acclaimed title of UK Functional Gym of the Year, with the company describing their ethos as "creating a welcoming, inclusive and community orientated" environment.
Established in 2012, founder and owner Ross Paterson said: “It is an absolute honour and a privilege to even be shortlisted in the National Fitness Awards, but to win one of the biggest awards available, especially as a small, independent family run gym, well it’s almost impossible to put into words how incredibly ecstatic that makes us feel.

"These awards and the industry recognition is a real testament to everyone that works and trains at Synergy.
I’m also so proud of Amy for the incredible achievement of winning UK’s PT of the Year. I don’t think it’s fully sunk in with her yet how big a deal this is but what I do know is she deserves every second of success she gets.
"She really is an incredible trainer who has achieved some remarkable, life altering results for her clients."
