Alex is a great personal trainer! I had been looking for somebody to help me feel more confident in my body and get in shape. While I've been to the gym a lot before, I needed some help from a trainer to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly as well as to challenge me. And that is exactly what Alex did! We focused on strength training which helped me feel stronger and more able with every session. Alex also kept it fun by switching up the exercise and adding cardio in there, too!Could not recommend Alex enough!! More...

I decided to try using a personal trainer to boost my motivation and help me carry out the correct exercises to reach my goals. I chose Alex after looking at various PT's and I definitely made the right decision. He is knowledgeable, understands what I am wanting to achieve and is flexible with session times as I often have to change things at short notice. Definitely recommend to both men and women of all ages. More...

I was overweight, ridden with pain and health issues and pretty depressed until I started training with Alex just only one month ago! Already I've lost 3lb and I'm feeling better than I've felt in my twenties. I have energy and I'm gaining strength and I've been able to reduce my medication and pain killers I used to rely upon so much to manage my health issues! Alex is really knowledgeable about nutrition as well as exercise and has been patient and supportive of my health issues. I feel confident that every week we're working towards improved core strength and every week i notice myself becoming that little bit less weak!. He's motivating me but not pushing me excessively to make much needed changes in my life and he's relaxed and we have a good laugh along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody , especially middle aged women with chronic health issues like myself. I never thought I'd say it but I actually look forwards to going to the gym and I can see myself getting better and more healthier the more I work with him. Would highly recommend! More...

Alex is a friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable personal trainer. I did my personal training sessions and my own workouts at the sherwood gym. I found this helpful. Alex gave me advice on the equipment and different techniques and weights suitable for me personally. My goal was to lose weight and although it is a continuous journey, Alex has really helped me with weight loss and the confidence to continue to keep at it. I have seen the results of my hard work and his guidance. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Alex, he is a great personal Trainer and genuinely nice guy. More...

I 100% recommend working with Alex, as the impact of his training has been so epic! I had my first baby two years ago and put on weight which I couldn't lose afterwards. Add in 18 months of the pandemic, work schedules, old injuries and sleep deprivation - I was getting nowhere with getting fit and felt stuck, so I decided I needed a professional. I found Alex on a Google search of Nottingham personal trainers, and signed up. I've never been a gym goer so I was very nervous about going, but Alex was friendly, welcoming, very easy to talk to and receptive to my goals- i wanted to use exercise to make me feel stronger, improve my mental health, and to lose some weight if possible. I had only intended to work with Alex for a month...but I'm now happily signing up for my third month as my life has changed so much for the better that I want to continue the roll! I have so much more energy, my outlook is positive, I can run up the stairs at work without losing breath, I've lost almost a stone already in two months, and I feel strong, vibrant and healthy. And my arms, for the first time in my life have gained actual muscles! Working with Alex is fun and positive, he pushes you just enough to make gains but in a very supportive way. He's very easy to get along with and inspires you to keep going. I've gone from being intimidated by gyms to looking forward to going in to workout and lift weights. Everyone should work with Alex!

I've been doing personal training with Alex since the end of Summer 2021. I confess: I hate exercise but I knew I needed to have a health programme to remain healthy and to tone up. I was keen to find someone who would help me achieve those goals whilst keeping me on target. Above all I wanted someone who would be personable, friendly and encouraging. Alex is all of these and more. Though I am never going to fall in love with the gym, my sessions with Alex are nevertheless enjoyable because of the good humour, conversation and fair approach to my training. He is balanced and fair in his encouragement but also pushes me. As soon as finances permit I will increase our sessions to twice weekly which is testament to his style! With thanks. More...

I trained with Alex after trying to go it on my own, I started with him in January 2018. One of the best financial and health decisions I have ever had. I love to run and Alex has a personal background with that. My aim was to get a personal best for a half marathon, look slimmer and to sort out my diet. I have achieved all of these with Alex, he pushes me and with the confidence he has helped me achieve in myself I have stuck with everything. I started at 89kg and am now a very happy 77kg, losing 12kg over the year. I managed to do a half marathon in 2 hours 17 minutes, I'm a confident size 12 and my fridge is full of veg and chicken.

Alex has been instrumental in helping me make a change to my outlook on both eating and exercising. Results speak for themselves and the investment made has an instant pay back as long as you are willing to put in the hard work.

Having worked with Alex throughout much of my weight loss journey, I can thoroughly recommend him as a personal trainer. He is friendly and completely non judgemental, he has helped me to focus and achieve my goals with his encouraging and motivating manner. <br /><br />I weighed approximately 22 stones when I began my weight loss and I decided upon Alex as a personal trainer after searching for others<span id="moreReview578378" class="hide"> locally. I now weigh a little over 13 Stones and this has been achieved in about a year. My waist size has dropped from almost 50 inches to 32 inches. <br /><br />Working with Alex has helped me turn my life around completely, I have more confidence and I am less prone to the depression that I suffered before. I am pushing myself much further than I would have ever thought, and my fitness is better than ever. <br /><br />Alex encouraged me to keep a food diary and every week we went through nutrition and diet tips. My diet has improved and with his regular recipes online my meals are never boring. I have the knowledge to make sensible choices that will keep me full for longer with less cravings for sugar. <br /><br />I am so happy with the results, gradually seeing my body shape change. I never feel like the workouts are rushed either, Alex doesn’t constantly watch the clock and more than often we run over the session. I enjoy the workouts and look forward to the buzz I get, knowing that I have achieved something so positive. <br /><br />Alex is a great personal trainer and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve the way they look and feel.</span> More...

I decided I needed a personal trainer as I had been a runner before but had been diagnosed with MS and had, had to stop running for a while. Once I had gotten better I found it hard to get back into the swing of exercise and didn't have the same enthusiasm, as I had gained quite a bit of weight. I wanted to lose weight and tone up as I had a holiday booked and wanted to wear a bikini for it and I didn't want to feel self conscious about my body anymore. I found Alex on Google and saw that he did personal training sessions through 'The gym' which was really good value and had good restrictions on the contract you would have to take out to go there. Reading though peoples testimonials about Alex you could see that he got good results and seemed to get on with them, through how they spoke about him. I decided to contact him and I spoke to Alex initially through email and over the phone, he was polite and thorough with his questions about how fit I was, what I had done in the past and also knew some information about MS. Alex didn't pressure me to join 'The gym' but suggested it would be a good idea to rather than getting a day pass as it was so cheap and would help me do sessions on my own which would help my fitness. When I first meet him he was friendly and we talked more about things like diet, supplements and what sort of results I wanted from him. It was very helpful and informative as Alex sent me information about how changing my diet could help towards my MS and the diet wasn't as restrictive as others I had been given in the past. Also his philosophy of being good 80% of the time and having fun with the other 20% also meant I could have cheat moments which has helped me stick to the diet and training. Doing the actually training has been good fun as Alex has given me a mixture of exercises I can do myself while also pushing me to work harder when I have sessions with him, I have joked in the past that these sessions are working as afterwards I always hate him a little bit and the pain lasts for a couple of days. He is also very encouraging and if he finds any new information for me he emails it to me. We meet up once a week depending on our timetable, I have been seeing Alex now for two months give or take and with the diet and training sessions I have lost a stone and on our most recent session I was 10 stone 9 pounds. I am so happy with the results and I can't wait to get into a bikini for the first time on my holiday as I have never had the confidence to do so before. Meeting up with Alex has meant I've lost weight, toned up and lost about 13 inches from my body. I love the new me and am so thankful for the help and new lease of life. More...

I met Alex at The Gym around three months ago when I first took his stability ball class (which I highly recommend!). After a few classes I decided to take some personal training sessions with him, I chose him above the other trainers because he is motivating and was committed to helping me achieve my goal. I wanted to tone up rather than lose weight and I only had a small time to achieve this as I would be going home for the summer. He started by measuring my body fat which I found really useful and then we began on weekly weight and core sessions accompanied by his class twice a week to reach my 20% body fat target. Alongside this he has also helped me with my long distance running technique in preparation for Race for Life in June. So far, so good, I have noticed a massive improvement with my tone and general fitness, I wasn’t convinced when he assured me it gets easier with practice but it really does.His jokes might be terrible but Alex is knowledgeable and passionate about fitness and this really shows, he is eager to help you help yourself and is patient and encouraging (he puts up with me even though I whine constantly) I will be sad to leave him over the summer but as soon as I’m back I will be continuing my sessions with him!
