Alex was amazing, identified the issue within seconds of explaining the pain, confirmed his diagnosis with some exercises then set out a plan to help fix the issue. Alex was friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. My shoulder felt instantly less painful after his massage. Would highly recommend 5

Hi Racheal just a thank you for inspiring me to get back in the gym and workout again. I had lost my confidence to lift heavy weights because of various injuries over the years. You motivate and encourage me to push myself. The program was varied and challenging and I have enjoyed my progress each month. I am stronger and fitter thanks to you.

You will not meet someone who knows more about his job than Alex. He has been there to help me with my back after I had my baby when I suffered with sciatica and when I unfortunately pulled my back out! He is so friendly, professional and gave me realistic goals to fit my life. I recovered from my back a lot quicker than usual! I could not recommend him enough! Thank you!

Alex was really helpful in giving me stretches and exercises when I was suffering with multiple flareups of bulging discs in my neck. He also gave me lots of advice to help me return to normal post-op. I highly recommend.
