Alex Reader Fitness

Fantastic experience: Alex and the team are fabulous! I love training with them, sessions are tough but good fun and they really look after you, especially if you have an injury. Thanks team, I'm feeling fitter and stronger already!

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I joined this gym it has honestly changed my whole life. after years of struggling with a rare genetic disorder, i finally feel stronger and better than I ever felt on any medication. Huge thanks to all the amazing coaches for always motivating and supporting me to achieve my best! I never thought i’d enjoy the gym as much as I do now ive made so much progress and im excited to see even more going forward

Fantastic experience: Amazing, friendly, knowledgeable trainers with smaller classes. Perfect for someone looking for trainer lead classes and a more one to one feel. Get your sports shoes on and give them a try, it'll be the best decision you make!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to ARF for about two months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The team of coaches is incredibly friendly, engaging, and always approachable. They really make an effort to get to know you and support your goals. I love how easy it is to reach out whenever I need advice or have a question. What I really appreciate about ARF is the small group sessions. It’s the perfect balance between getting personalized attention like a PT session, while also benefiting from the motivation and camaraderie of the group. I’ve been seeing steady results, but more importantly, I’ve found my enthusiasm for training again! Before, I was going through the motions and honestly getting bored, treating it as more of a chore. Now, after just two months, I look forward to my three weekly sessions, it’s a fun and engaging part of my week! If you’re looking for a supportive gym where you can actually enjoy working out and see results, ARF is the place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Alex Reader Fitness since June, and I couldn’t be happier that I found this place. After spending many months in the gym on my own, I felt I needed a reset, and this has been exactly what I was looking for. Alex and his team, including Charlie and Adam, are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. From my very first session, I felt welcomed and motivated, and now I genuinely look forward to every workout!! Before, I always went to the gym solo, but I’ve discovered that training in a group is not only fun, it also boosts motivation, helps me stay consistent, and has really built my confidence. Since joining, I’ve started losing weight again, my strength has noticeably improved, and I finally understand the importance of proper nutrition, especially the mistake I was making of eating too few calories. The atmosphere at the gym is so friendly and encouraging. I honestly can’t recommend Alex and his team enough, and I’m excited to keep training here throughout the winter!

Fantastic experience: I joined in December and couldn’t be happier! The gym is welcoming, supportive, and never intimidating. The gains & progress I've made since joining this gym have surpassed anywhere else I've been before. The small group sessions are great, and the community Alex has built is amazing — from run club to social events, there’s something for everyone. Truly a special place!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this Gym for approx 8 months. From the moment I walked in I was impressed by how welcoming and well organized the Gym was. The staff are friendly and professional and are knowledgeable, energetic and always ensure you are working out safely. Unlike other Gyms which can be intimidating, Alex Reader Fitness has built a supportive community and the team goes out of their way to make sure you feel valued and not just a membership number. This is a Gym which keeps you motivated and you want to keep attending the sessions.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend ARF enough! I’ve been training here for a few months now and still look forward to every single session! The coaches are not only friendly and supportive, but also really knowledgeable. Each exercise is always explained clearly and adapted to suite your fitness level making it bespoke to you (which I had been looking for a while before joining ARF). I'd recommend anyone who is looking to get fit in a social, friendly and welcoming environment to the try ARF- it has made a huge difference for me in just a few months, and i'm excited to keep progressing with such an amazing team and community!

Fantastic experience: At 38, i finally decided it was time to try and get fit and change my "skinny fat" physique. I was initially looking for a personal trainer to help me in a normal gym, as I'd never worked out before. I ended up finding Alex Reader Fitness and haven't looked back. I've been attending ARF for about 3 months now. I started with the 6 week challenge and really enjoyed it, so continued with the 2 sessions a week package. All of the coaches are really knowledgeable and encouraging, pushing you enough to progress but not so much that you break (apart from my first session maybe! ) All of the other clients I've met are really friendly and there's a great family feel. The coaches do a good job of knowing where everyone is at. The fact that it's up to 6 people per session, usually less, means you essentially get the benefits of a personal trainer. All of the sessions are prepared so you know what you've got coming in advance. And it's straight to it from minute 1 to minute 50. No waiting around for equipment etc like in general gyms. The booking app is really easy to use. The workout tracking app is really easy to use too and it's great to see your progress so clearly. My goals are being hit and although I might not have had too much of a visual change yet, my numbers have been steadily increasing and I'm definitely getting stronger and losing fat. I would definitely recommend ARF if you're looking for gym with great support, guided workouts, not having to wait to use the equipment you want, somewhere that's not full of hard-core gym bros on steroids or people taking photos of themselves! A perfect place for beginners of any age and fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I have been with the gym for 9 months, lovely the atmosphere and the small group training sessions they keep me accountable. Also I have started run club and have gone from a non runner to running my first park run on Saturday. Great social scene as well

Fantastic experience: Fab gym and excellent coaches.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Alex Reader Fitness for nearly a year and love it! The small group sessions are welcoming, the coaches are really supportive, and the community is fantastic. I’ve seen great progress in my fitness and the socials make it even more fun.

Fantastic experience: Glad to have joined Alex Reader Fitness. Whilst only fairly new member, I can say the trainers are very knowledgeable and approachable and everyone very friendly and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Exactly what I was looking for, small group training with excellent coaching and support. Inclusive and flexible around lifes demands.. perfect.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Alex Reader for the best part of two years after a recommendation from a friend. I’ve always been into playing sports, mostly football, but had never joined a gym/done any strength training before. I remember feeling intimidated about the prospect of doing S&C training but already after the first few sessions I knew I had picked the right place to build both my confidence as well as overall fitness. The programmes I’ve done have been varied, which has kept me motivated over the past few years, always turning up to training excited about making those incremental improvements. The ARF community are great. Not only are the coaches knowledgeable and supportive, other team members are also friendly and encouraging – there’s a real sense that everyone is improving together. If you said back to me in 2023 that I would have done 3 Hyrox events, including a singles, I would have never believed it. But here we are in 2025, doing Hyrox (with my top on).

Fantastic experience: ARF gym is awesome! It has really helped me reset after going to the gym for years and not really seeing any results. They also provided me with some nutrition advice to help with weight management. Coaches are great :)

Fantastic experience: I have had the best few months with the ARF family! I have never loved a gym until I found this one. The trainers are incredible and push you to limits you didn’t even know you had! And the difference I’ve seen in myself has just been wonderful. Thank you to all you coaches for making this a surprisingly enjoyable way to work and a workout I look forward to! I couldn’t recommend this gym enough!

Fantastic experience: BELIEVE ME… YOU WILL NOT REGRET JOINING THE ALEX READER FITNESS TEAM! Hands down the best gym for all abilities! I joined Alex Reader Fitness at the end of September. I was somewhat sceptical about their claim of noticing big results within the 6 week challenge, I was gladly proved wrong. I had big gains after the 6 week challenge and continue to have big gains after 3 months of continued membership in all levels of fitness. The gym is like no other with very supportive, encouraging, and experienced/ knowledgeable coaches. The team is very friendly and all fitness types and abilities are made to feel extremely welcome. There is a great community feel, with a fantastic support network for members to share ideas, pick up tips and to generally chat. The sessions are to a set programme hitting all the muscle groups, so no skipping leg days . As a member you have access to days/ trips out including Quay clip and climb, boom battle bar, summiting Mt Snowden, etc, etc. Within the team there is a great amount of knowledge and information including diet & nutrition, from an award winning expert nutritionist, technique and training from extremely knowledgeable, powerful and encouraging coaches, and a great community with friendly, humorous, down to earth members. I love that everyone is competing against themselves, rather than each other, in which any & every PB is a huge milestone and greatly congratulated. To sum up: - The best gym. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. - An immense, encouraging support network. - Tips and plans from an award winning nutritionist. - Days out. - Second to none experienced and knowledgeable coaches. - All members made to feel extremely welcome. - The best shape I have ever been in.

Fantastic experience: ARF was probably the best decision I made, to help me in my fitness journey. A small, but compact training environment. Tailored precise exercises to meet every individual's needs. No session is the same as the last one. The coaches are visible, knowledgeable, motivational, supportive and have a good sense of humour. Try the 6 week taster, as I did, you will find yourself hitting targets, that you didn't think possible. Small steps towards a fitter, healthier lifestyle. However fitness isn't the only thing on offer, nutritional support, social events support via WhatsApp groups, where you can support each other. Go on give it a go!! You won't regret it & become part of something bigger.

Fantastic experience: ARF is an incredible gym with an amazing community! The coaches are so supportive and encouraging, always pushing you to achieve your best while ensuring proper technique and safety. The members are equally lovely—no judgment, just constant encouragement and positivity. ARF creates a welcoming and motivating environment for everyone. I’ve seen so much progress since joining, and it’s all thanks to the fantastic support from the team and fellow members. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym where you’ll feel right at home!

Fantastic experience: I have spent years signing up to gyms and quitting after 3 months feeling deflated and not seeing any results. Trainers handing out generic programmes and spending half of the time waiting for equipment or being hurried off so someone else can use it. Inevitably it all fails. Joining ARF in September (3 months ago) has been a life changer..... ARF make every effort to make you feel welcomed and they definitively do... the entire gym community holding that supportive value at the core of their efforts also. I have never felt embarrassed, devalued, pressured to move on or feltnunable to chat to anyone. It's truly a wonderful and warm environment. If you have an injury or issue, don't worry.... the coaches make every effort to adjust programmes to suit and keep you safe/healthy whilst still making fitness gains. Not only this, but the gym outings have been such good fun with everyone being so friendly and welcoming. Climbing, boom battle bar and now snowdon on the horizon... amazing fun If that's not enough, the wonderful Sarah ( on hand nitritionist) is always there to help and always replies quickly with sound advice, keeping you on track with food. In 3 months i have found myself lifting weights id never consider previously... im surprised by my own progression... and I'm please to say id never use another gym now. Cannot fault ARF in any way. It really is an inspiring and supportive place to be. For all walks of life and all levels of ability. Let's get it!

Fantastic experience: Just WOW! I've been with ARF since September but it feels like I have been for a lifetime. The support all the coaches give is remarkable the guidance, motivation, care and the family feel is beyond words. The excitement of going to the gym is something I would of never ever said prior to signing up. The outside events that get organised are also something which I think is brilliant, keeping the family community outside of the gym and the go go drive to achieve other dreams we all have. Thank you ARF Coaches

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with ARF for just over two months now after seeking to improve my strength and fitness. The coaches are brilliant and hugely supportive, every session is different and, most importantly I’m already seeing the results. Can highly recommended to those looking for Exeter Personal Training.

Fantastic experience: The team at Alex Reader Fitness are incredible. Since joining I feel fitter, stronger and more confident. If you’re looking for excellent personal training in Exeter I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Alex Reader Fitness are the best personal trainers in Exeter! Such a great community, so supportive and motivating! Always look forward to each session and feel great after!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a flexible approach to getting PT sessions, fitting in around work and sports. Alex and his team have been incredibly flexible and accommodating in their approach. In a few months, they have given me real confidence in lifting weights and improved my understanding on structuring of workouts. Kudos to them all, Alex, Charlie and Katy are clearly passionate people, and it shows.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Alex Reader Fitness (ARF) has been amazing. I joined Alex Reader Fitness last January and I have been training with ARF coaches ever since. Alex, Katie, Charlie and Sian are knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. They really helped me to change my lifestyle by giving me tools to grow, such as advice around nutrition and workouts. Workouts/sessions (groups of max 6 people) are well structured, engaging and fun. I always look forward to my sessions, as they create a very supportive environment. With their support and encouragement I have improved my physical health in just a few months. I feel stronger, fitter and healthier.  Also I eat healthier and feel happier than ever. Thank you ARF for helping me to make lifelong changes.

Fantastic experience: I’m three months into my membership at Alex Reader Fitness and I only wish I had started it sooner! The improvement in my strength, energy levels and confidence has been incredible. The small group personal training sessions are easily bookable in advance on the app - I attend three sessions a week which, surprisingly, I have found easy to slot in alongside full-time work and being a parent. The group training works well and motivates me as everyone is supportive of each other, plus it’s good fun! The social aspect is an added bonus and something I didn’t expect - I’ve met some amazing people and look forward to joining in the member events which are arranged throughout the year. Alex, Katie, Charlie and Sian are excellent coaches and each bring their own unique style. All are great at guiding you through the exercises and happily answer any questions along the way. Sarah, the Nutrition and Mindset Coach, has also been brilliant in offering advice/answering questions around nutrition and how best to fuel my body throughout the month. I recommend ARF to anyone who is looking to gain confidence in the gym and begin training in a relaxed and empowering environment. I truly see it as an investment in myself and look forward to becoming stronger/healthier as the weeks go on

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoying ARF, coaches are amazing. So much support given. Look forward to going to the gym and everyone I have met have been so friendly and such a support in sessions. I am making such good progress and my goals are being met.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Alex Reader Fitness since the beginning of April, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellness. I attend three times a week, and the progress I've made in just a few months is remarkable. I feel fitter, stronger, and more energized than ever before. One of the standout features of Alex Reader Fitness is the small group sessions. These create an incredibly supportive and motivating environment. The trainers are able to give personalised attention, ensuring that everyone is performing exercises correctly and getting the most out of their workouts. The camaraderie among members adds to the positive atmosphere, making each session something to look forward to. The gym is also very welcoming to newcomers. From day one, I felt at ease and part of the community. The trainers and members are friendly and encouraging, which makes it easy to stay committed and push through any challenges. Overall, I highly recommend Alex Reader Fitness to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, you'll find the support, motivation, and expertise you need to reach your goals. Five stars all the way!

Fantastic experience: Alex and the team are brilliant. My confidence and strength has grown massively. My individual programmes is very much based around my lifestyle, and what is maintainable from one week to another and then the sessions I attend vary from day to day pushing me to new levels. Recently more sessions have been added to the programme including run sessions which push me on days where maybe I’m not quite feeling it.

Fantastic experience: Great experience and beautifully guided journey to get fitter. Even for someone like me, who was never gym person

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Alex for the past 8 weeks and really enjoy my sessions with him. I have managed to lose a stone (so far!) and am feeling much better mentally and physically. Alex is very supportive in his approach and you don’t feel intimated going in there (unlike some gyms!) I recommend Alex to anybody who wants to lose weight/get fitter in a friendly and supportive environment. Thanks Alex!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Alex Reader Fitness and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. Alex and the entire team are brilliant—knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly supportive. They make you feel welcomed from day one, fostering a friendly and intimate atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable. What really sets this gym apart is the personalized attention each member receives. Despite my initial apprehensions about joining a new fitness community, Alex and the team quickly alleviated all my concerns with their warm and approachable demeanor. They are not just trainers but also motivators who genuinely care about your health and well-being. Under their guidance, I've seen significant improvements in my physical health. The workouts are tailored to my individual needs, challenging yet achievable, pushing me to exceed my limits while ensuring I maintain proper form to avoid injuries. The small environment of the gym enhances the experience, allowing for more personalized interactions and support. Moreover, the community at Alex Reader Fitness is just as friendly and encouraging as the team. Everyone supports each other's progress, which adds an extra layer of motivation to each workout. Whether you're a beginner or looking to elevate your fitness routine, Alex Reader Fitness is the perfect place to achieve your goals in a nurturing and friendly setting. Thank you, Alex and team, for making fitness an enjoyable part of my life!

Fantastic experience: I started at Alex Reader Fitness in November and feel noticeably fitter and stronger. I was well outside of my comfort zone at the beginning, but I needn’t have been: this is such a friendly gym, with a really supportive atmosphere. Alex, Charlie and Katie are all brilliant trainers, total nerds in a good way and will help you get the most out of each training session. My theory on exercise is you have to enjoy doing it, to make it a lasting habit and I really enjoy my sessions here. Working out in a small group keeps it fun, and no two sessions are the same, which keeps it interesting. Thanks so much Alex for cheerleading all of us into a state of rude health & henchness!

Fantastic experience: I am happy to highly recommend Alex Reader Fitness! Alex is so knowledgeable and so welcoming. I have also met Katie and she’s lovely ☺️ I have done one month attending 3 times a week and feeling a lot more confident with the gym equipment and stronger, also just happier in myself. I’m always looking forward to my session as it’s so nice being a small group of 6 and all cheering each other on with encouragement and laughter I’m feeling more toned and happy in myself. Thank you Alex and team ❤️✨ Can’t wait to see the changes and get even stronger.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Alex Reader Fitness for the past six months. It has been great fun and I am in better shape than I have been for years. Alex and Charlie are extremely knowledgeable, motivating and two of the nicest chaps you will ever meet. The booking system is really easy to use, I can always get the sessions I want and the use of Trainer Heroic allows me to easily track my progress. A first-class set up!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with ARF for 3 months and I’ve seen so much progress in this time both in my strength and overall fitness but also in my mindset and motivation. Before joining ARF I felt pretty clueless in the gym and was trying to improve my running and fitness with a lot of googling and guess-work and very little progress. Having a clear plan and the support and guidance to back it has made a huge difference and I’m also noticing myself growing in confidence and pushing myself further than I would have ever attempted to before. Alex, Charlie and Katie are super knowledgable and friendly, and make every session enjoyable while also pushing us to keep improving and holding us accountable to our goals. The small group sessions are a really lovely community where we encourage each other and celebrate everyone’s achievements. I don’t think there’s a lot of people out there who could’ve got me into a gym at 6am and now I’m there by choice…thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Alex Reader Fitness for 3 Months so far & I am really enjoying every moment of it. I looking forward to my sessions every week, the small group environment is perfect for building your confidence when it comes to going to the gym & using equipment/doing exercises that in other environments might be daunting. Being able to track my progress is a driving point for me, teamed with such great support from the coaches, I mostly train with Alex due to the times I can attend. Alex is supportive & encouraging, so knowledgeable and positive! That said I have trained with all 3 coaches & Alex, Katie & Charlie are all fab coaches and absolutely make this gym what it is. I feel part of a fitness community, who have like minded goals to stay healthy, strong and fit. We encourage each other to be our best and push each other to reach our potential. I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever felt in my fitness journey…..in just 3 months that good going, having had been a corporate gym go-er for several years. Thank you coaches for all your help, your passion for fitness really makes a difference!!

Fantastic experience: I have been at ARF now for just over 5 months and its the first gym that I have joined that I actually look forward to going to. I am quite self conscious so the small group sessions are great, and to have coaches that are very professional, friendly, approachable and encouraging is amazing. Every session is well structured, fun, different and challenging. I always come away feeling happy and that I am making good progress. I have a long way to go but I am feeling fitter, stronger and more toned so far and I am looking forward to seeing what results I can achieve in the next 5 months.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Alex for almost 3 months now & I can honestly say that I’m getting stronger, fitter, more toned but the biggest thing is I’m actually enjoying training, which for a self confessed non gym loving person is a massive accomplishment! I love the small group sessions which are of no more than a maximum of 6 of us per session. The other members are great, we all help one another and encourage each other to push on when we feel like giving up or things aren’t going as we want, it’s a true gym family who are there to celebrate our success and encourage us when we’re struggling, these are the unique qualities that you get at Alex Reader Fitness that you don’t get in general gyms because everyone cares about you, not just themselves. There’s a true sense of belonging to team ARF which I’m very proud to be a part of that includes everyone regardless of fitness levels, after all we’re all there for the same thing to be fitter, stronger, healthier for life, we all want to be the best version of ourselves that we can. I look back at how far I’ve come in just 3 short months, from the woman who first walked in to ARF to the woman I am today who is definitely a better version of myself who loves training with ARF so much so I’m actually doing a 5km inflatable run which will be a massive achievement in itself as I don’t even run for last orders! All 3 of the coaches (Alex, Charlie & Katie) put you at ease in any of their sessions, whilst encouraging you to achieve the very best results you can to be the very best version of yourself. Ultimately you get out what you put in, the proof is in the pudding & I can honestly say that everything I’ve put in to training I’m reaping the benefits, I’ve found a place where I belong in the gym with Team ARF, where I’m training 3 times a week! Who’d of thought it? Certainly not me if you’d of told me this 3 months ago!

Fantastic experience: Life-changing in the best possible way. This place holds a special significance for me. At 40, I was slightly overweight, hopelessly weak due to a lack of exercise, and determined to make a change in my health and appearance. Alex had optimism and confidence that a change is possible, and expertise how to go about exercising and diet to get the results. He understands mindset interventions and that is priceless. I committed to early morning sessions, prioritizing them before life gets in the way. The sense of accountability ensured I showed up for every session and Alex's gentle encouragement saw me through the most challenging times (yes, it's hard work!). I soon noticed the results in terms of weight loss and strength, but also the power of starting the day with weightlifting – I have so much more energy and focus. ARF is not just a gym; it is a supportive community with a great sense of camaraderie fostered by Alex (and now by Charlie, and Kate, each with their distinct style and personality). Also, the setup is great with the right equipment, progress-monitoring apps and flexible booking options. Seven months later, I achieved my weight loss goal (10kg/1.5st) . I not only look better but also eat healthier and feel stronger and happier than ever. Surprisingly, I found genuine enjoyment in the gym along the way – the ultimate unexpected victory. Discovering ARF was a turning point for me, and I enthusiastically recommend the team to all my friends. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Day 1, New Years Day and commit to training 3 times a week. Goal loose weight, improve tone and do a chin up by end of March. Last training pre-Covid, so nearly 4 years, a bit nervous about going through that initial pain and aching muscles again, plus will soon be 54 The training is varied, mainly weights based and in a group of 6 max. Great coaching from Alex and Charlie on technique and maximising your achievements. Camaraderie and support from fellow members is great and you start to feel part of a family. End of March: Chin up complete about a month a go, I can even skin the cat (look it up); Weight still the same, but a couple inches gone from the waist; tone and posture massively improved, along with flexibility. Feel better all round, achieved things thought I could longer do. Worth every penny, now time for holiday.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Alex reader fitness for a little over 3 months now and so far it’s been an amazing experience, Alex is always attentive to any needs you may have mine being my shoulder I had surgery on, sessions are hard work but leave you feeling great afterwards and I feel a lot stronger and healthier being a part of this group!

Fantastic experience: Would give 10 stars if I could! Having never trained before and not in great shape I was nervous to start, but Alex and Charlie as so supportive and give you the confidence to push hard! I am stronger than I thought I could be and only 3 months in!!!

Fantastic experience: Can’t believe I just ran 5km for the first time in about 15 years!!! It is crazy how much my life and mindset has changed in the past 3 months and that’s largely down to your support. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Alex has been absolutely brilliant, he’s given me the confidence to go to the gym and stick to a work out plan. He has a personal approach which is tailored to the individual in order for them to reach their goals!

Fantastic experience: I'd recommend Alex as a PT. Has helped me reach my goals, and realise I could aim higher. Communication has been fantastic, and tailors sessions/workouts to suit the individual. Builds confidence but also challenge you to reach your full potential. If you are looking for someone who will support you in reaching fitness goals, then I'd recommend Alex Reader Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Before training under the wing with alex i didnt have any clue on what to do but tried to stay fit.. Since being on this program with him i have seen MAJOR progress within just over 2 months. Im hooked and cant get enough of this training.. it kinda felt like a chore at first but then you grow and adapt to love it and besides it also actually tests you if your really want this or not.. it has definately awoken the BEAST inside me and it is part of my daily life now and i wouldnt want it any other way. Alex is an amazing PT and such a great guy.. I highly reccomend him to anyone that wants to change their life for the better, this man deserves 5 star rating.. Hats off to you BRO

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better personal trainer :) Alex has helped so much with my general confidence working out as well as considering any adaptations that may need to be be made to the programme due to me having a prosthetic leg

Fantastic experience: I recommend Alex reader fitness. I got workout plans designed specifically for me to have the best experience in the gym . I’ve seen a huge change to my eating habits , gym routine and of course my body

Fantastic experience: My experience has been really successful. Alex and Jacob put in 100% effort. Communication and encouragement is very good. I have been working out for years but not getting the outcome I want, but doing this challenge has been a great investment as they have the knowledge of exercises specific to my needs. The nutritional support alongside the fitness is very good and is helping me towards my goal. I 100% recommend this 28day challenge.

Fantastic experience: Alex and Jacob are very friendly and knowledgeable trainers who have assigned me very rigorous and useful, yet achievable fitness challenges which I have finally been able to employ consistently in my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Alex has really helped me get back into training and actually enjoying it again. Super friendly and really encouraging during sessions. Alex often checks in to make sure how I’m getting on but I can also communicate at the end of my own sessions through the app. I like using the app as it is something to keep tabs on my progress and makes me quite competitive with myself wanting to achieve more.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Alex enough, feel like I landed on my feet making my first ever personal training enquiry with him and never looked back! I’ve always feared the gym and the one on one nature of the sessions suit me perfectly. I’m 45, have always been fairly slim but I had lost tone and strength over the last few years since having kids. Since training with Alex I have improved my strength, no longer aching after gardening and am gradually improving some tone. He balances encouragement, support, variety and scaling up the challenges perfectly. I can only exercise effectively with accountability so this suits me perfectly but importantly, I enjoy it!! Thanks Alex!

Fantastic experience: Best coach ever. Knows exactly what I want to achieve and always delivers the best programs. Best shape I’ve been in thanks to him. Cheers mate

Fantastic experience: Having taken on a huge challange of the three peaks in 24 hours i knew i needed some knowlege and experience to ensure i was fit and strong enough. Alex was amazing at ensuring i was capable of doing this and without his expertise im sure i wouldnt of been able to achieve it. Huge thanks to Alex for his support and hardwork to get me through the challange. Would definately recommend him to anyone wishing to achieve something from weight loss toachieving a personal goal.

Fantastic experience: Starting an exercise program with a Personal Trainer isn’t easy for many people, and making the decision to choose one from another can be daunting and nervy. Alex’s real strength is in his ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease straight away, with his good nature and obvious knowledge around the subject matter. I can imagine he would be just as happy assisting someone who had never set foot in a gym, to helping elite athletes achieve their goals. If you’re looking for someone who is easy going, knowledgeable and fun, but will ensure you don’t slack on achieving your workout goals, then I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my 2 years so far, and it has changed the way I now look at the balance in my life, as my 2 or 3 days a week are very much non-negotiable now, and this is all thanks to Alex making it easy, engaging and fun. Thanks Alex!

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about going to a personal trainer but Alex quickly put me at ease. I am enjoying the training so far and I feel I am making excellent progress already. Alex is professional and motivating and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I would never have lifted weights in a big gym setting! With Jacob and Alex providing a 1:1 structured programme and encouragement I am starting to see results and feel stronger and more healthy for it. Would definitely recommend…

Fantastic experience: Alex and Jacob are great motivators and are helping to push me to achieve my goals, whilst also making the journey super fun!

Fantastic experience: Alex has changed my life! I fully recommend Alex if you want to change your life too!! After yo-yo'ing with my weight since I was a kid, after trying every diet and every quick fix possible, I decided the only thing I hadn't tried was a personal trainer. I had a gym membership I never used and wasn't confident in lifting weights (because I've never really done it) and hated cardio. Alex eased me in slowly, adapted exercises so I could cope, but also made me feel confident and comfortable. I've now lost 5 stone and stayed consistent for 3 years. Alex supported with not just in the gym but outside with my diet and mindset towards my goals and lifestyle. This has been the best investment of my life and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! Thank you Alex! You are the best!

Fantastic experience: Alex has been a fantastic personal trainer for me for over a year. I always look forward to my sessions with Alex, they are well thought out, well varied and he is always informative on the exercises and their benefits. Looking forward to many more!

Fantastic experience: Alex Reader is a great PT, he takes time to understand our individual needs and adapts exercises to meet our fitness goals. We would highly recommend Alex Reader to any of our friends or family.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Alex for a couple of years now and I've seen some big improvements in strength and fitness over that time. The big positives for me are that Alex knows his stuff, he varies the sessions enough to keep me challenged/motivated and it's all done in a comfortable and fun environment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Alex for a few months now and only wish I had started sooner. He has a private space which is ideal if you find going to a public gym daunting or are unsure how to make the best use of your time working out. Alex is very friendly, encouraging and accommodating if you need to change your plans, but he will work you hard! Really pleased with the results so far and looking forward to more to come. Can highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been trained by Alex for a number of years. He has supported me to attain and maintain better fitness levels. He approaches the concept of fitness / wellness in the way that works for you as a person. He can offer guidance around nutrition and exercise which is a bonus. This means that anyone can access his service with confidence regardless of age or fitness levels. His sense of humor helps too! :)

Fantastic experience: Great trainer! Alex is patient, engaging and firm, so progress is made. His online sessions throughout lockdown have been very good.

Fantastic experience: We can not speak highly enough of Alex. he is a very well qualified sports instructor, a good communicator and above all very kind and reassuring. My husband and I purchased a treadmill in sept2020. It sat in the conservatory unused for 8 months. We were so terrified of how complicated it looked We couldnt' get face to face instruction from the makers due to covid. We are older folk and find youtube instructions for our treadmill , not too helpful. We prefer personal tuition. However Alex showed us how to switch it on and use it safely and gave us very helpful tips. We have used it every day since Alex gave us our tutorial. It feels so much safer using the treadmill than road running/jogging. Kinder on our joints and as Alex explained good cardio exercise. He really explained it all so well and was was so very patient and reassuring. Highly recommend Alex , Joy and Peter Cole Budleigh Salterton

Fantastic experience: Alex has been training a young Deaf service user of mine for a few years now. His warm personality and good communication skills have been essential to build an effective relationship. Highly recommended. BSL Enabling Service

Fantastic experience: I started training with Alex just over a month ago and I am so impressed with how comfortable and confident he has made me feel with the gym. I’ve never really felt like I know what to do until now. I train in a pair with a friend and it’s easily the best experience I’ve had with PT sessions. Thank you Alex!

Fantastic experience: Always look forward to a great workout here! Alex is so supportive and knowledgeable and pushes you to achieve your personal goals. The group sessions are varied and fun and the 1 to 1 pt blocks are so productive and such great value too! Very clean and professional set up! I've gained so much confidence already and feel ready to see more results through one of his workout programmes adapted to all my needs and lifestyle. Can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Alex is a brilliant trainer. I’ve been training with Alex for almost a year and still I am always looking forward to our sessions. They’re dynamic, varied and planned in a professional way steadily build up strength . The pace is challenging but at the same time adapted to my ability. The studio Alex created is great- easily accessed, has a nice atmosphere and everything that’s needed for proper, high standard training. It’s very easy to have a good communication with Alex because he’s open, listens and always interested in knowing whether I feel the pace and plan are right for me. Alex is a super trainer and I’m happy that I could share my experience of the last year in a review.

Fantastic experience: So . .I decided to go on a trek to the Himalayas in 2020. All well and good but I hadn't done any sport since leaving school, and I am 60, overweight and lazy. Enter Alex, skilled, competant and a great encourager . . . After four months I am doing weights, sit ups, burpees, lunges . . . You name it and I am doing it. I still have a long way to go but I am enjoying every minute. Thank you, Alex. I would thoroughly recommend Alex Reader Fitness. Clare

Fantastic experience: Not been training with Alex long but really enjoying it! Learning new things, very professional, great set up and being pushed which is just what I need! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Choosing to work with Alex was the best decision I’ve made this year by far. The results I’ve had despite my limitations have been incredible, I feel stronger both physically and mentally. Alex is so knowledgable, he’s always able to adjust and customise sessions to work around limitations; helping me feel I’ve achieved something rather than failed at something else. I had intended only to have sessions for 6 months but I’m so pleased with my result and ongoing experience that it really feels worthwhile to continue to invest in myself for the foreseeable future.

Fantastic experience: I completely recommend Alex as a personal trainer! He has created training programmes that benefit my trampolining, focusing on specific exercises and movements that increase power in the legs and technique for my sport. I have a session with him once a week, and go to the gym on my own twice a week; which he has put exercises onto the personal trainer app that I'll use for my gym sessions. Overall, very enthusiastic and friendly! Also will make sessions a lot of fun and very rewarding
