Online & Hybrid Training
Specialised training for people who refuse to stop moving.
This is coaching for active people who are tired of breaking down.
If you love training and sport but keep ending up injured, restricted, or back at the physio, you’re not broken. You’re just missing the right approach.
Hybrid Training (Combination of in-person and
online coaching).
What’s Included:
-
A focused conversation where we break down your current situation, your training history, and what you want to achieve. You get clear direction, expert input, and a realistic plan that feels personal to you rather than general or generic.
-
A fully personalised plan built around your goals, schedule, ability level, injuries, and preferences. Every exercise includes personalised notes that tell you exactly what to focus on so you always know what you are doing and why.
-
High quality demonstrations. Each video includes simple step by step instructions that help you move well and feel confident with the technique.
-
A private line for sending exercise videos, asking questions, or checking in whenever you need support. You are never left guessing or unsure of what to do next.
-
For clients living close to the Edinburgh area, the fully equipped Athlete Always studio is based in Stockbridge, EH3. There are full bathroom, toilet, change-room facilities on site.

“Working with Alex has been amazing!
I'm in Japan and he's been helping me get over a lower leg/ knee injury so I can get back to playing badminton.
With his help, I was able to build up strength progressively back in my legs and have a mindset change as I learned to listen and work with my body, instead of pushing through the pain.
Could not recommend more! If you're thinking about getting over an injury, definitely work with Alex at Athlete Always.
Happily back playing badminton now and so much more!”

“I’ve had ongoing lower back pain for years, but thanks to the programme Alex has created for me, I’ve been pain free for the last eight months. It’s made a huge positive difference to my life, and it’s been great getting back into the gym too.
Alex really knows his stuff, keeps up to date with all the latest research and he created a very personalised plan that fits around my lifestyle to strengthen and fix imbalances.
I’m so grateful to Alex for his ongoing support and advice - highly recommend working with him!”
-
“Alex is the guy to go to to resolve those niggles, to get you back on your feet and give yourself the confidence to push yourself that little bit further.
I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone explain mechanics of muscle movement so well to me. Throughout the process of working with him his personal explanations & videos for each exercise are fantastic.
What I love about working with Alex the most is his genuine interest - he quietly motivates you, never overwhelms you. His personal programme & Ap are great to follow & easy check in.
In short, I thoroughly recommend him.”
-
“If you're looking for a quick fix - this isn't it. If you actually want to understand your body, learn how to properly train it and once and for all banish those niggles and issues, Alex is your man.
Incredible depth of knowledge and experience particularly with rehab and middle age aches and pains!
I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life thank to him. And he's a thoroughly lovely human being alongside all that. World class trainer!”

“Having had a hip replacement to address sciatic pain, I started training with Alex around in the summer. Our goal was simple - rehabilitation to the point my hip and/or back didn't preclude me from anything I wanted to do, be that golf, skiing, running or football.
Alex has been magnificent. He has set achievable short term goals and continually evolved my program depending on my progress. He has also adapted the sessions as necessary to keep me engaged which has always been an issue for me historically.
The journey is far from over but already I feel stronger and more mobile than I have in decades and (touch wood) I've had little if any issues with my back or hip in months.
Alex is a font of knowledge when it comes to the body and how it works, he also has an amazing ability to keep the work-outs interesting and novel. Not only that, he's also a pretty decent guy!
