WEIGHTLIFTING:
Group training or Individual?
Need a coaches eye on your technique? Feel like something is holding you back but not sure what? Stuck in ‘Lockdown’ and need guidance to keep momentum?
One-to-one coaching could be what you need to keep progressing to the next level. All individually coached sessions come with follow up video analysis.
If you prefer a group training environment I can help you too. I offer coaching for every level and each group training session is capped at 6 people so everyone can get the individual attention they need.

Want to get better at the competition lifts? Even if your goal isn't to compete at a lifting competition, getting better at the snatch and clean & jerk is a must for CrossFit too.

Testimonials
Shreya
I've been attending Alex’s in-person classes for five months now, and it has been an incredible experience! As someone new to weightlifting, I was initially nervous, but Alex’s guidance and encouragement have helped me build both skill and strength in such a short time.
The classes are well-structured, the atmosphere is supportive, and I’ve seen real progress in my confidence and abilities. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to improve their weightlifting!

I've trained with Alex for 5 years, and he's been great every step of the way.
Starting as someone with zero knowledge of weightlifting, Alex helped to build a base of strength, mobility and technique early on so that I could progress safely and confidently as my training and weights increased.
Having personalised programming the entire time has been extremely helpful, working around limitations and building the right exercises into programming, without it being boring. Although I started with very limited mobility, Alex made sure I had fun learning while also working on correcting form so I could lift well and safely.
I've also had some in-person coaching throughout my time with Alex, and definitely wouldn't have made it this far without all the coaching advice, cues and encouragement (and many jokes). I'd definitely recommend in-person coaching where possible. Alex is a master at assessing your lifts and even the smallest of coaching tips can make a huge difference to your lifting progress.
Small increments for continual progress…
What’s preferable, a 4kg PB every 4 weeks or a 1kg PB every week?
Should you train alone in an individual sport?
It’s just you and the barbell, or is it? Why does learning weightlifting in a group environment produce better results and when should you go it alone?
The kit matters
Why is weightlifting kit so expensive? Does it really make a difference which bar you lift on? Should you care whether your bar spins?
