Client Success Stories at Riley Fitness

I’ve been working out with Alex now for almost 6 weeks, and I’m definitely seeing and feeling the benefits. During our weekly sessions, I know that I am 110% Alex’s priority, and so I’m getting more out of every workout thanks to his attentiveness, his feedback and his advice. Not only is Alex very good at keeping me motivated to continue smashing through my PBs, but just as importantly he also reins me in if needed (like when I may be sacrificing form just to get an extra rep). I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to lose weight, improve their fitness, or invest in their overall health and wellbeing. 💪💪

My other half and I started training with Alex at the end of December, after both getting fed up of seeing minimal results from our own lack of commitment and decided 2025 was the year to get fit with the support of a PT. Alex has been BRILLIANT! He has built plans that work for our individual goals and adjusts them as we progress, listening to our feedback. He’s been amazing helping with nutrition, and the level of encouragement, not just in our workouts together, but every day has been excellent. Equally, he’s made me enjoy working out and not just during our training sessions. I have more confidence each time I go to the gym now and feel like I’m making progress at the right pace, hitting some PBs most weeks. The sessions themselves are great, not just the training but the rapport too. We have a laugh, he pushes you to your limit safely, and you end the workout feeling good about yourself and what you achieved. Just don’t face-plant into a mat trying to do a push-up like I did haha. I would highly recommend Riley Fitness if you’re looking to get in shape.

For months, I was stuck in a rut, hitting the gym with zero results. Stumbled across Riley Fitness, and it was a complete game-changer! In just 6 months, I lost 15kg and feel incredible. Cheers Alex… bring on 2025!

Alex has really boosted my confidence in everyday life and in the sports I partake in. From the first meeting, he’s been very supportive and really helped me achieve my goals by creating a plan that he adjusted for my needs. When I came to him with the problems I was suffering, within days or weeks I made massive progress and started understanding what and why I’m training for.

I’ve been working with Alex for a few months now and I’m extremely happy with the progress we’re making. He’s helped me drop a good bit of weight and I’m starting to see noticeable muscle development. He’s a very nice, friendly guy but will push you as far as needed to see real results. He’s also been very helpful with my eating and has set up a solid meal plan for me! 10/10 would recommend.

Used Alex for a while now, had a break and came back. I cannot fault him in any way. Alex listens to anything you have to say and helps in every way he can. I actually use Alex for my running, which has helped me massively. I would highly recommend Alex for whatever journey you are about to take on. Feel free to message him. He is always ready to help, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. 💪💪💪💪

Very clear and easy-to-follow workouts with constant feedback, helped me achieve my goal.

I’ve been training with Alex for around a month now and would easily recommend him to anyone looking to improve their strength and fitness! He is extremely supportive throughout the workouts, and more importantly, between them, offering constant advice on diet, general health, and how I’m finding the sessions. After a month of training, I’m still seeing progress by adding more weight or more reps every single workout.

Passionate, patient, and professional. Gym personal training isn’t a job everyone can do properly, but Alex is one of those PTs who knows exactly what he’s doing. No matter what you need, he has the right knowledge and methods to train you and move you towards your goals. He pays attention to the tiniest details, ensuring you’re performing well and progressing. He’s a great motivator and always there when you need support.

Alex is absolutely amazing. I had many apprehensions about starting workouts, especially with a PT. I had a few limitations and wanted to focus on building strength and flexibility. Alex listened and took his time to build my confidence. He’s really nailed the definition of customer service, and whatever you approach him for, I’m confident he’ll deliver. I even look forward to my PT sessions to see what I’m capable of.

I have been working with Alex for the last two months and so far I am very impressed. He has listened to my goals and is helping me achieve them. I’m becoming more confident with strength training, something I’ve never really done before. He’s clearly knowledgeable and very approachable for advice. Highly recommended, especially if, like me, you work better with a plan.

Would highly recommend Alex to anyone. He has helped me build my confidence in the gym, demonstrating exercises and creating a programme tailored to my goals and ability, while still pushing me to improve. He’s always really friendly and helpful with questions around both nutrition and exercises. He’s gone the extra mile, providing bodyweight workouts for when I can’t make it to the gym. I wouldn’t be where I am now without his excellent guidance and motivation!

Top coach and a top person. Very clear and easy to understand the directions he’ll push you in. He explains everything in great detail and allows you to learn why you do certain things, rather than just telling you to do them.

Great PT. Takes the time to understand his clients to get the best out of them and ensure any medical issues are allowed for. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex!

Alex has been perfect, taking the time to learn my goals and adjust plans to suit. He’s always pushing for improvement but never at the risk of injury. I’m looking forward to continuing working with him.

Alex is a fantastic PT. As a runner who didn’t like the gym, Alex made the sessions enjoyable and specific to my goals. I now enjoy going to the gym! If you’re thinking of using a PT for the first time, I can’t recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Alex. He explains exercises thoroughly to ensure correct form. The workout plans are both effective and challenging, making every session worthwhile.

As someone who was pretty clueless and shy around the gym, Alex has made me feel so much more confident in the last 2 months. I’ve noticed differences not only in how I look and feel, but also in my power and speed when playing football, one of my main goals. His care and attention outside of the sessions are something I didn’t expect. He really offers the full 360 degrees of support to help you get better!

Training with Alex has been amazing. He explains everything so well and is extremely supportive. I have anxiety in the gym, and he understands this and helps me overcome it each week, making me feel more comfortable and allowing me to see real progress. Alex tailors the workouts to suit me and changes them depending on how I’m feeling that day. He constantly motivates me and checks in on how I’m doing. These sessions have really built my confidence. Highly recommended!

Really enjoying my sessions with Alex. I really appreciate his flexibility and understanding. He works around my crazy schedule. Alex has adapted the training across sessions to meet my needs, and I’m starting to see real benefits and my body toning and changing shape. Thanks, Alex. Highly recommended!

I’ve had the pleasure of having Alex as my PT. His constant contact and encouragement show his genuine interest in my progress. His dedication and expertise have made a huge impact. I feel this is a pivotal moment in my middle age and the beginning of a journey to better health (Brad Pitt in Fight Club is the dream, but I’ll settle for fitter for my son!). I can’t thank him enough for his support and guidance. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Riley Fitness. As a man in his 40s with dyspraxia, I was initially apprehensive about personal training. However, Alex’s patience, understanding, and exceptional skills completely transformed my outlook. He adapted each session to my abilities, explained everything clearly, and helped build my confidence. His genuine dedication, encouragement, and expertise make each session enjoyable and effective. I’ve never felt more supported or seen such results.

Been training with Alex for the last 4 months and he’s really built up my confidence in the gym and my drive to do more. He’s always positive and on hand to answer questions. He’s helped me train safely through an injury while still getting great results. I’d recommend signing up with him to anyone wanting to step up their fitness. Just the beginning!

Just what I needed: a push in the right direction. I would highly recommend Riley Fitness. Top man, great positive attitude, and 10/10 advice on achieving your goals, whatever they may be. For me, it was bulking up and building muscle. I’ve already seen a big difference 5 weeks in and still hitting PBs every week. Big thanks, Riley Fitness. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without you.

I’ve just finished training with Alex and have made incredible progress. My main benchmark being an 80 kg one-rep max on the barbell bench after only 3 months in the gym! Alex is incredibly knowledgeable, always answers my questions, and helps adjust my technique. I’ve learnt so much about training, nutrition, planning workouts, and more. I’m now very confident in the gym, and Alex has always been easy to reach for feedback. Brilliant experience!

Alex has been brilliant in helping me recover from a knee injury. I’ve seen so much progress in a short time, and I can now return to football training! His sessions are amazing, well-planned, and enjoyable.

Having not been to the gym for several years, it’s been great to have Alex’s help getting back into exercise. Working with him has been enjoyable and has massively helped my motivation. In just a few weeks, I’ve seen my strength and fitness improve significantly.
