If you suffer from joint pain / back pain or any health complications then you are not alone, my philosophy is simple to follow and it all starts with movement.

What my Clients say:

“I have been attending personal training sessions with Ben regularly for the past three years. Following hip replacement surgery, I felt I needed the reassurance and guidance that a personal trainer would give me. Ben has been instrumental in building my confidence when exercising in the gym. Ben has pushed me further than I ever thought possible. I have complete trust in Ben’s ability as a personal trainer. Without his expert knowledge and guidance, I most certainly would not be at my current level of fitness. His personable nature ensures his sessions are demanding yet enjoyable, reflective throughout and adapting his session plan if necessary.”

What my Clients say:

"I have trained with Ben Beer for the past 3 years. When I first joined the gym I was lacking in confidence, and I was extremely unfit and overweight. Ben worked in partnership with me to build an fitness training program that was specific to my needs; altering it effectively as my fitness increased and my weight decreased. He was, and is, always there for advice and support during PT sessions, and on a day to day basis, and provides me with support and guidance. I have moved from a very unfit office bound worker to a very fit and healthy 68 year old with his support and he has become both a friend and a valued personal trainer over the 3 years and I am so grateful for his hard work with me."

How can I help you improve your health?

I have over 10 years’ experience in the Fitness Industry ranging from working in Leisure Facilities to providing Psychological Support to the GB Handball Team in the London 2012 Olympic Games whilst completing my Masters in Sport Psychology.

I love to see people achieve things they never thought possible – whether that be fitting into a certain dress size or lifting a specific weight.

Alex Fox

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

As I used to be a dancer for Plymouth raiders, and the British basketball league, being fit and healthy has always been a priority for me. After working as a receptionist in the leisure industry I felt like I was on the wrong side of the fence. I enjoyed training and coaching people and embarked on becoming a personal trainer.

I aim to inspire people to take control of their health through fun and interactive sessions. I feel that training has a huge knock on effect on our daily lives. Being more active and physically able brings positive changes so that you feel that you can live better and feel fabulous.

“Training with Alex is great fun! Alex is friendly, approachable and really pushes me to limits I didn’t know I had.

I always look forward to our sessions, and leave feeling more positive.”

With 10 years’ experience within the fitness industry I’ve helped hundreds of clients achieve their fitness goals, from weight loss to muscle building to sports specific training.

What my Clients say:

“I’ve battled with my weight since a very young age and after seeing a picture of myself on Facebook I knew something had to change. I joined Nuffield 3 years ago and booked in for a health MOT with James as some friends from school recommended him. At the end of the health assessment I was in tears with results but thought I need to use this as motivation. Fast forward 2 years and I have now dropped 8 stone in weight, gone from a size 22 to a size 12 and my blood pressure is now down to a normal range. I couldn’t have done any of this without James’ help along the way; he made my goal his goal! From gruelling training sessions in the gym to tracking my calories ever week on myfitness pal. I can’t thank James enough for all this hard work he put in and for changing my life.”
