AF Coaching / Unite Fitness Glasgow

Fantastic experience: Alex has been great, helping me to build strength and fitness whilst training at unite doing 1:1 PT sessions over the past year and a half. She always encourages and inspires you to get to your goals, as well as improving your general health and wellbeing. She also gave me tips for home workouts to do outwith the gym to help me with running, before doing my first 10k race. Thanks for all your help Alex! :)

Fantastic experience: Alex is brilliant to work with and a lovely person. I hadn't been to a PT before and she really took the time to listen to my aims and put me at ease. She is highly knowledgeable and really passionate about what she does and the sessions were always varied and tailored to how I was doing that week. We started by getting the foundations and have gradually built in more reps and intensity. She's also great at checking in between sessions and providing home routines as well as other helpful info. Thanks so much Alex, I will be recommending you!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and inclusive classes, welcoming to an absolute beginner like me. I’ve been training at Unite fitness for six months having never ever been to a gym before. I was a bit nervous so started with a one-to-one session where Alex eased me in with examples of what we’d be doing, intros to all the equipment, and got to know my physical abilities. Group training classes are tailored and varied for everyone who attends, and are community-orientated and fun. I find Alex knows exactly where my limits are, pushing me to achieve difficult things while also reminding me to listen to my body and take it easy when I need to. I’d recommend Unite Fitness to anyone looking for somewhere less intimidating, and more personal, than a mainstream gym.

Fantastic experience: I got involved in Alex’s Animal Flow classes in December 2023 and can’t recommend these classes enough! Alex is an enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable Animal Flow coach. Her classes are accessible for both beginners and those who have been participating and AF a bit longer. We work on foundational movements every week, but also get the opportunity to build and learn new flows. She also runs AF Masterclasses which I have attended and, again, can only recommend to those who want to incorporate or build foundational knowledge around Animal Flow movement practice.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Alex to improve strength as a woman in her late 50’s. I’m not a gym person and hate the busy gym scene , finding it very intimidating. Unite is nothing like that . Classes are small and women only. The sessions are tailored to your needs and Alex is extremely mindful to correct your alignment when lifting weights etc. I’ve always felt very safe. Ive become a complete convert to using a gym and that’s thanks to Alex’s positive encouragement. I would highly recommend doing some PT sessions as well, you’ll really notice the difference and will make you feel more confident using different equipment.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure to attend both classes at Unite Fitness and a workshop at Activ Scotland and had a great time. Alex is able to put anyone at ease with her compassionate approach to teaching someone who is completely new to animal flow. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants to learn to move their body in new ways in a mindful environment, conducive to holistic wellness. Thank you, Alex!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Unite for 5 years and I can’t say enough about it- Alex has created an incredibly welcoming space for wellbeing. If you want small classes, personalised support and advice, and a caring community, this is the place. All bodies welcome, all ages welcome, all energy and fitness levels welcome.

Fantastic experience: Love going to this wee gym. Safe and non-judgemental space to improve strength and build confidence.

Fantastic experience: such a lovely welcoming space

Fantastic experience: Alex has pushed me appropriately but not so hard that I rebelled and gave up or had a strop. She definitely knows her stuff and has made me fitter and stronger over the months. But on top of that she is friendly and enthusiastic and almost makes the hard work fun and enjoyable

Fantastic experience: I first started visiting Alex after a period of change in my life. I had suffered in the past with autoimmune disease and had lost a lot of trust in my body. I had a couple of sessions one to one with Alex and I just knew that the space was absolutely right for me I've always hated really huge classes with big mixes of people. And Unite Fitness is a really intimate space. Alex really guides you and notices where you're going wrong and really supports you to go right. She has a natural, bright and encouraging nature and loves what she does.This has really helped me become strong again. Getting back into my body and feeling more flow and more strength has really helped me gain confidence in all areas of my life.

Fantastic experience: I first contacted Alex in 2019 following years of suffering with knee pain. I had very little experience in the gym and wanted to take ownership of improving my overall strength. I started doing personal training sessions with Alex on a weekly basis, and 4 years later I am attending group sessions facilitated by Alex on a weekly basis! Alex’s knowledge and support has helped my knee pain more than any medication ever has. Alex has built a close community at Unite Fitness. I am always motivated and supported by those around me in the gym. I couldn’t recommend Alex enough!

Fantastic experience: Alex is so knowledgable and wise in this industry. Her classes and sessions are comfortable, friendly and most of all hard work in the best way. I’ve been with Alex for 5+ years now and can say that I would not trust anyone else to give such deeply thought about advice on exercise/nutrition and even injuries. She is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Grown in confidence and strength! It has been amazing to have Alex as a PT this year, focusing on building up my confidence back in a gym space, plus working on building strength and fitness with different exercises. Alex is tonnes of energy and fun, and supports you inside and out of the gym. I highly recommend her as someone to connect with if you're looking to go on a journey with fitness. We did everything from weights to cardio, strength and conditioning, and trying out animal flow. I've loved learning new skills and working on how to be my best self! I am now sadly moving city so can't keep PT sessions going with Alex, but she's helped me find a new routine, build confidence for going on my own, and helped me research new places to try when I move. 10/10 for Unite Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Alex is a brilliant PT, I can’t recommend her enough. A friend and I had paired sessions with her for about four months and we had such a great time. She was always really accommodating to our difficult schedules, she planned really fun and challenging sessions, and was so encouraging. As someone who was a little nervous of personal training, Alex felt really welcoming and the total opposite of an intimidating personal trainer. I would definitely work with her again.

Fantastic experience: Alex is a very enthusiastic and motivational coach. She always gives clear and understandable instructions, often adapting the way she explains things as she goes, to ensure everyone understands. Alex is always kind and patient. I really enjoy her classes and I’m looking forward to our next block of classes. Thanks Alex!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed this time around. Hopefully it’s improving my balance. Thank again. Jane McIntosh x

Fantastic experience: Alex has amazing energy; always able to offer sound advice and encouragement but with a brilliant balance of whipping your butt into shape too! She could not work any harder to accommodate your needs on your own fitness journey, which is such a personal thing. Alex offers really versatile classes, an amazing gym space and always has so much knowledge on nutrition, looking after your body and being kind to yourself too.

Fantastic experience: Alex is amazing, I absolutely love her Animal Flow Yoga class. My flexibility and strength and significantly increased. I have also done personal training sessions with Alex also and I could not recommend her enough. She makes exercising such fun.

Fantastic experience: I first met Alex when I joined my local gym and, on the recommendation of my son who is also a Personal Trainer, I signed up with her for one-on-one PT sessions. She was amazingly encouraging and patient, pushing me to achieve more than I ever expected without ever making me feel overwhelmed. When Alex branched out on her own I was delighted to continue training with her. Over these past three years I have been continually impressed by how knowledgeable and innovative Alex is. No two sessions are classes are ever the same, keeping my interest and motivation at the highest level, and she always knows how to work with and around any problem areas. My mobility has improved significantly in ways I would have considered impossible! During lockdown she has absolutely done us all proud in terms of being there for us online, making sure we are both physically and emotionally strong and positive. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex, and her gym - Unite Fitness - to anyone who is ready to journey forward in fitness, health and wellbeing. Alex, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend Alex Fraser Coaching - she is absolutely fantastic! Alex has endless energy, and she makes exercises fun and exciting! I would highly recommend her Animal Flow and Hit Classes. She is just wonderful. Definitely recommend. Always puts a smile on your face :)

Fantastic experience: Alex is so approachable and her infectious bubbly personality makes heading to the gym a lot less daunting. She is always coming up with new ideas and keeps our sessions fun and exciting!

Fantastic experience: I’m usually not an 8am Monday morning workout person... but I love this! A month in and I’ve actually found myself looking forward to it. It’s a great workout but so much fun you (almost) don’t realise how hard you’re working. Alex is so lovely as well, and the class leaves you feeling good and super strong

Fantastic experience: Alex was an amazing motivator when I trained. She’s very patient and encouraging. I lost inches all over.

Fantastic experience: I found Alex through recommendation at a time when I wanted to make a conscious effort to improve my fitness but didn’t really know where to start. She has since taken me from never working out in a gym before to confidently lifting weights, as well as teaching me about the simple joys of body weight workouts. She has been fabulous at supporting my progress and making things the right level of challenging, all with her trademark enthusiasm and passion for what she does. I’ve found not only a fabulous trainer, but also a dear friend!

Fantastic experience: I met Alex at a street market and she was advertising Animal Flow classes. I hadn't found anyone in Glasgow offering, and immediately looked her up. I work in movement and choreography, and have always had an interest and decent level of fitness. I was pretty specific when I came to her for PT. She continues to push me to improve and teach me more about my body and what can help a body move. She is relentlessly positive in the best way, and has my body responding better and moving stronger than ever over the past 6 months. I would highly recommend her for specific fitness goals training, as well as really fun ways to improve and maintain your health.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant trainer with unparalleled knowledge and amazing attitude

Fantastic experience: I started training with Alex in January 2019 as I wanted to improve my fitness while also be mindful of a knee injury and niggly neck. She keeps you driven and motivated, pushes you to achieve your best and works with your bodies ability. I always leave a session feeling exhilarated while well exercised! Alex really listens to what you're looking for and since training with her I have improved muscle definition, strength and overall fitness. My knee is remarkable better and I've been able to do more as a result of training with Alex. Her range of training means sessions are always kept interesting and you feel great working with her. She has such a positive and uplifting energy. Would highly recommend if you're looking to achieve your health and fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Awesome, enthusiastic trainer to work alongside and really knows how to bring the best out in people!
