"I have now been training with Alex for a couple of years. Alex is an amazing trainer, who takes a really holistic approach to health and fitness. Not only does he construct personalised training sessions to keep exercise interesting and challenging, he offers advice and information on diet, lifestyle courses and a whole host of really helpful things to keep you focussed. He has a great style to really make you work hard and get the most out of your workout (without the "bootcamp" rant!). Alex practiseswhat he preaches and embodies all that he teaches. He is constantly taking courses to expand his knowledge about health and nutrition and is dedicated to passing this information on to his clients in a fun and motivating way."

Jodie, Marketing Executive

"I was recommended to Alex Shirley by a friend a couple of years ago and can unhesitatingly say that it has been a wonderful recommendation for me that I can in turn make to anybody who is interested in some personal training. I came to him with an exercise background in running and aerobic sports. He has built on that with a varied programme of exercises promoting flexibility, stability and strength and also promoting "core work". The benefits were quickly apparent and have been sustained: not least because of Alex's combination of good humour, intelligence, enthusiasm, encouragement and discipline."

Larry, Senior Counsel

"I've trained on and off for over 7 years, yet during my sessions with Alex over the course of the last 9 months, usually twice a week, I am still learning new things every week! I've had tri-athletes, naturopaths and body builders all provide me advice over the years, none of which have had the in-depth knowledge to do with training, weight loss and diet as good as Alex. Alex has an excellent way of analysing one's weaknesses and strengths and then developing routines that really push one to the limit whilst still allowing for an acceptable duration of exercise, in my case 1 hour. Alex has a great philosophy on life and is a good source of intelligent and funny conversation which breaks the occasionally monotonous nature of exercise and provides me a great stress free environment that allows me to easily forget my worries at work."

Andrew, Financial Advisor

"Having trained with Alex for over three years I can wholeheartedly recommend him. From putting together a great programme to get me through a marathon, to motivating a group of friends to get fit on Saturday mornings in the park, to bush walks in various national parks, his approach is always fun and challenging, without ever resorting to bullying or nagging. Alex is always available to help out with any questions and goes beyond the sessions to help out with food diaries, recommendations on healthy home catering solutions and even motivational tapes. I wouldn't consider anyone else!"

Katie, Marketing Executive

"I really enjoy and look forward to my training sessions with Alex because of the variety he builds into my program from week to week. Alex not only keeps me motivated from a fitness point of view, he also gives me great advice on nutrition and general wellbeing. It's great to have a set of goals to work towards and to have someone like Alex to keep you on track."
