Meet Alexander Khang, the coach you'll train with
One person leads every session at A Fitness. The coach who assesses you is the coach who trains you every week, so nothing gets lost in a handover and you never start again with someone new.
Qualified to train around an injury
A therapist's eye, a strength coach's plan Alexander Khang
Alexander treated injuries before he coached strength. That's why he reads your body like a therapist and plans your training like a strength coach.
He watches how you move, asks why something hurts before changing the weight, and progresses you with a plan rather than guesswork. When your body is ready for more, you get more. When it isn't, he holds back.
Who Alexander works with most
People coming back to training after injury, surgery or physio, and people whose training keeps being stopped by the same problem.

- Tennis and golfer's elbow

Coached sessions

If you need a diagnosis, a scan or hands-on treatment, Alexander will tell you and refer you to the right clinician.
"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"
"I have really enjoyed training with Alexander. He is a very experienced and passionate coach, and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the months ahead."

Training with Alexander
What is Alexander's coaching style?
Calm, detailed and direct. He watches how you move before he adds weight, explains why each exercise is in your plan, and pushes you when you're ready and holds back when you're not.
Will I always train with Alexander?
Yes. Alexander coaches every session at A Fitness himself, from your first session to your last, so you never have to explain your history twice.
Has he worked with someone like me?
Most of his clients are coming back from injury, surgery or physio, or have a knee, back, shoulder or tendon that keeps stopping their training. He also coaches people over 60 and people who simply want to train properly. Tell him about yours on the free call and he'll be honest about whether he's the right coach for you.
I'm nervous about the gym, or I've never lifted. Is that OK?
Yes. The studio is private and appointment only, so no one is watching. Alexander starts from where you are and coaches your technique from the first session.
What happens if I'm having a bad day, or something flares up?
Every session starts with a check on how you're feeling. If you're tired, sore or something has flared up, Alexander changes the load, not the whole plan, and if anything suggests you need to see a clinician, he'll tell you.
Will I know what to do between sessions?
Yes. You leave every session knowing what you did, why, and what to do before your next one.
How will I know I'm progressing?
Alexander takes your starting measures in your first session and tracks them as you train, so you can see your progress for yourself.
Will he work with my physio or surgeon?
Yes. With your permission, he works in line with the plan they've given you and can keep them updated on how you're progressing.
What qualifications does Alexander have?
He is an ISRM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist, with more than 6 years in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and more than 5 years coaching strength. He has coached 109 clients through strength training.
