Alex has been a constant in my life for the last 12 weeks and what a change he has helped me make . I have achieved something I thought was impossible due to my age and condition . He has made the impossible, possible. He is a pleasure to work with and a constant support.

Alex has completely transformed how I train. I’ve never really struggled with motivation, my biggest problem was structure, especially around eating habits, which was fixed instantly. He leads by example and shows how to train with intent, going into every session ready to leave everything on the table. I can wholeheartedly say we saw progress every single week and never in my life have I felt so confident in the person that I am, both inside and outside the gym. Absolute legend that loves what he does!!

Working with Alex the last few months has been great. The fact he’s always there to help with form in the gym and allowing for the strength to translate back onto the rugby pitch. The knowledge he has on making the best decisions with the food and decisions around when to up cardio and pull calories make progression and weight loss easier then what I expect.

I joined UP Coaching because I had seen the transformation that their approach had on my son. Being recently retired, I was somewhat sceptical about how it would work for me. My doubts soon disappeared. From the very first consultation with Alex, I felt reassured – Alex’s expertise meant that he designed a programme which worked for me and felt achievable. His unwavering positivity and practical solutions have been the driving force behind what I have achieved. My journey has not been speedy, but I have seen so much more than weight loss. My body composition has transformed and I have a greater understanding of the importance of the foods that my body needs. I nearly left UP Coaching when I was told that I needed surgery because I didn’t see how I could keep up with my programme. Once again, Alex provided the positivity and reassurance that I needed and we discussed how the plan could be adapted. Throughout my journey, I have never felt any judgement or pressure, only support and encouragement. If the week has not gone to plan, Alex has suggested workarounds and provided motivation through clear explanations of how food and movement are working to achieve my goal.
