Sam Fairbairn, 28, Key Account Manager, Edinburgh, UK

  • I have always been interested in functional fitness and ensuring that my body is ready to cope with the demands of any situation. Mobility was always a facet of my fitness that I had neglected for years because I never really understood how to improve it and how to do it safely. Therefore, my main reason for joining Thrive was to improve my mobility and “prop-up” my other pillars of health like strength and aerobic fitness. Also, I knew from watching Alex’s videos that he was trying to get a different message across, one designed to cut through all the noise in the fitness advice you see on the internet. It really resonated with me because of that.

  • The main hesitation I had was not knowing what to expect but I don’t believe that was from any lack of clarity but more so that mobility and strength training was such an alien concept to me. I had no idea about what progress to expect but those hesitations were settled quickly once I began to take a few classes.

  • The main benefit of the membership I’ve experienced has been a significant increase in my range of motion during my gym workouts and, far less injuries when going for my runs. I used to experience a lot of calf strain, for example, when I would run more than 10K in a week but since taking Alex’s post and pre-run sessions I’ve experienced next to know pain or strain. I feel less injury prone over all and far more mobile even in daily activities like standing up and sitting down. My body feels healthier and full of vitality. It’s hard to explain but it feels almost like the dust on my bones, joints and all the bits in between has been cleaned off.

  • I can confidently train all the major muscle groups without fear of injury or strain. This comes from learning with the Thrive membership how to properly warm up my joints and muscles and how, with the CAR routines, to keep them healthy. I feel safer when I train and believe I can hit the goals that have eluded me for so long. Alex truly has helped me develop a whole new appreciation for mobility and it now forms an integral part of my functional fitness. I’m so grateful Alex set up the Thrive membership and the work he continues to do to improve it.
