Alex Thomas Personal Training

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!

At the age of 64 with one replacement hip and a knee that is falling apart, Alex took me on when perhaps he should have run a mile. Alex has not let me off working hard during my training sessions and I feel so much better now. My aim was to strengthen my muscles before possible knee surgery and I feel we have achieved that goal. Having exercised for most of my life, I know that Alex is very talented and extremely knowledgeable. He will get results for you and I thoroughly recommend him.'
