What our clients say about training at A Fitness
Real Google reviews from people we coach one to one in our private studio in Angel, Islington, from knee and shoulder rehab to getting strong for the first time.
"I honestly can’t recommend A Fitness highly enough. I initially came for help with injury recovery and rehabilitation, but the whole experience has gone far beyond that.
Alex has been absolutely brilliant throughout. His knowledge of rehabilitation, movement and personal training is exceptional, and what really stands out is how much attention he pays to the individual. Nothing feels generic or rushed — every session is tailored around where you are physically, how you’re progressing and what you want to achieve.
He has helped me rebuild my strength and confidence after injury while making sure I’m training safely and effectively. He explains what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how it contributes to recovery, which has given me a much better understanding of my body and how to train properly.
As I’ve progressed, the sessions have developed naturally from rehabilitation into more complete personal training, with a real focus on strength, mobility, technique and preventing future injuries. The sessions are challenging but always appropriate, and you can tell there’s a huge amount of knowledge and thought behind the programme.
Most importantly, Alex genuinely cares about getting results and helping you improve for the long term. If you’re recovering from an injury, need rehabilitation, or simply want knowledgeable and genuinely personalised training, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Fitness.
An outstanding service and easily 5 stars from me"
Personal training and rehab reviews
"After finishing physio, I still didn’t feel fully confident using weights or pushing myself in the gym. Training with Alexander has helped me get back into it gradually. The sessions are planned around my needs, and he keeps an eye on my technique and progress. It’s been good having someone who understands my injury history and knows when to push me and when to take it easier."

Rehab and injury"After years of generic gym programmes that ignored my dodgy knee, finding A Fitness in Islington was a game-changer. My personal trainer built everything around my injury history from day one, no second guessing, just intelligent, progressive training. Six months in and I'm stronger than I've ever been."
