Best gym ever. Friendly atmosphere and very knowledgeable coaches Their unique format of small group training (which is never the same) keeps me motivated and helps me achieve more.

I've never been to a gym I've enjoyed so much. Alex has created an amazing space with a fantastic team. The enthusiasm and energy is addictive. It's the hardest I've ever worked out and the most I've ever enjoyed it ! I started on the 30 day trial and couldn't leave. I'd definitely recommend to my girl friends especially. Alex knows how to get the best out of everyone and create an attitude where everyone can work out as hard as they want.and not care how they look. I think that's so rare. Well done Alex and team!

I joined this gym as soon as I moved to Brighton and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The trainers are knowledgable, fun and they make sure you work extra hard. I love the way my body has changed, but especially the community I found. Couldn’t recommend it enough! More...

Really welcoming atmosphere unlike other gyms I’ve been to, already feeling stronger after a short time. The trainers are friendly and encourage me to challenge myself every session.

Fab atmosphere, experienced trainers, and not in the slightest bit intimidating, unlike other gyms I’ve belonged to and avoided going to over the years! I’m feeling the benefits after just a couple of weeks More...

I had been going to exercise class for a couple of years but never really noticed myself getting fitter or stronger but definitely noticed more injuries. I joined the trial at ABS&C thinking it would be something similar but I was completely wrong. I’ve never been able to do more than 1 proper press up and within a month here I could do 10 (slowly). I’ve now become addicted to going and look forward to the classes. The instructors are great, really knowledgable and really focused on making sure you do things properly as well as pushing yourself. Training in a small group environment really is the way forward for me now. Everyone is really friendly and encouraging and you definitely find yourself challenging yourself each time you go to achieve more and in a fun environment as well. I really pleased with my progress and really happy I found this gym. Thanks Alex More...

I love this place so much . i had a 6 month stay in hospital and when i come out i had gained a lot of weight and i was very weak. Now i am so much stronger and ive lost weight. I feel confident again and feel like i know what im doing with equipment now instead of walking around the gym like a heedless chicken. Thank you all so much More...

Great trainer, great gym and group classes which keep me going. After a few months, my body shape changed and, though still fat! , I feel fit and healthy. 2 years on, I've never regretted going, however hard it is to get there, and feel anxious and tired if I'm not training 3 times a week. More...

I've been a member of this gym for around 5 months and I've lost over 60lbs thanks to Alex and his knowledge of exercise & nutrition. Alex and his team put together structured workouts that work! Their commitment to your progress towards your goal is second to none and the encouragement and support they give is incredible. This is not a "posers" gym with musclemen flexing in mirrors, it's an eclectic mix of "everymen" working to change their fitness levels for the better. More...

Alex is quite simply a fantastic PT. I've seen long term lasting results thanks to the way that Alex helped me to gradually build new and change existing habits. Workouts are always brilliantly structured and kept fresh with new exercises.. I can't wait to start up again to see what I can achieve. More...

I started with Alex a year ago, and immediately was impressed with the atmosphere in the gym (relaxed and welcoming to all standards/conditions), Alex's knowledge of physiology and nutrition, and the variety of exercise/circuits. Lost a lot of weight in a short space of time, which has stayed off, and have been able to manage the joint pain i suffer from in knees, neck and back while still working hard. Highly recommend.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Finding out where you're at right now. Where you've been before. And where you want to be
Then we make a plan on how we're going to get there.
Once we've got the map, getting there is a lot easier.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Having a clear goal. A time frame in which you want to achieve it. And having the realisation that if you want a big change, then something's got to change at your end.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.
But if you're ready for a serious change, then I'm here to show you the best way to do it.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people that are motivated to change their lives fulfill their dreams.
You can have all the drive in the world, but if you take the wrong advice, that determination can be wasted. I want you to win! That's the best bit about my job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My obsession with fitness just meant it was a natural progression. I was a nerd at school that only really got in shape in my early 20s. My nerdiness meant I learned everything I could about training in order to get the best results for my clients
Why should our clients choose you?
My proven track record of delivering results and not just 'working people really hard'. If you want to sweat and get knackered, you can go to BMF.
If you want results that turn heads - then you're in the right place.
