About Alex
I am Alex, a CIMSPA Accredited, fully insured level 3 qualified Personal Trainer with over 20 years experience in education and education management. I am an expert at providing bespoke and individualised fitness plans for my clients.
I help you to set manageable yet challenging goals to reach your full fitness potential. I have a First Class Honours Degree in Biological Sciences and experience of working in the scientific field, plus I am a qualified and certified life coach. My background in science and education means I not only have the skills to help you improve your fitness, I can give you all the scientific facts and explanations as to why strong is amazing and how to get there.
My fitness specialisms are kettlebell training, resistance training, bodyweight exercise and I am qualified as a women’s menopause strength training provider – my fitness plans will help you to beat that feeling of overwhelm and anxiety and even alleviate many of your physical peri-menopause symptoms. As a mum of 3, I know how we can often neglect our own needs and will therefore be motivating and inspiring you to get and stay fit.
My fitness philosophy is based around improving strength so we can age healthily in a way that is enjoyable and keeps us strong throughout our life; improving fitness, improving strength, improving balance and coordination, helping weight management, improving mental health, improving confidence and most of all reducing the chances of injury that lead to a poor quality of life as we get older.
I understand how hard it can be to go into a busy gym when you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing or you lack the confidence to workout in front of others, which is why I work with women non-judgmentally and supportively on a one to one basis, to get you to where you want to be, whether that be face to face or online. Although most of my clients have chosen to stay with me longer term on a one to one basis, I have also helped women to grow in confidence so they have been able to transition into exercising alone in the gym.
So, if you’re wondering why you should choose to work with me, I am for you if any of the following apply:
*you are a woman who wants to be strong
* you are a woman who is in, or approaching, her midlife or beyond and wants to be or stay strong
* you find exercise a little bit daunting or lack the confidence to go it alone
* you want to rid yourself of the constant diet industry nonsense and grow strong not skinny
* you are struggling with peri-menopause/menopause symptoms and want to reduce that horrible achy feeling in your joints and muscles
* you want results and are willing to put in the work and commitment needed to succeed
