Personal Training

Al’s passion for physical fitness became evident when he began playing semi-professional football during his late teens. After witnessing the impact of sports injury on his teammates and other players, he developed an interest in personal training and sports therapy. This culminated in Al undertaking a specialised course to become qualified to work in the industry. In 2003, he began to offer personal training and sports rehabilitation services through SouthBank, a club situated in Vauxhall, South London. Alongside this, Al ran his own clinic through this club. In 2005, Al spent six months at the renowned Oval Cricket Club in South Lodnon and also began working at LA Fitness Club, which is in Marylebone. Al stayed at LA Fitness Club for nine years, practicing sports rehabilitation and offering personal training.

Today Spending such a lengthy time in one club gave Al the opportunity to establish a client base and work with injured persons over a long period of time. This has given him valuable experience in addressing the long-term needs of sports rehabilitation clients. In 2015, he moved to The Gymway in Marble Arch, which is where he currently works. A typical day for Al now includes working as a personal trainer to clients from all backgrounds; ranging from those who need help to get in shape for a specific event, to those who require a long-term mentor to guide them through strength training. Al continues to offer sports rehabilitation services and to work with clients on their journey to recovery. Not one to forget his footballing roots, when he gets the time he still enjoys a kickabout in the park with his friends.
