Why having an online personal trainer is a great advantage
Online Personal Trainer Alex Reader
UK Fitness Coach
I’m an online personal trainer and nutrition coach based in the UK. I help everyday busy people and professionals transform their bodies around their current lifestyles. I get people into the shape they want with by products of being significantly, healthier, fitter and more confident. I do this using evidenced based strategies, creating custom training and nutrition plans that get results. These results are truly sustainable and life-changing since they are based around your lifestyle and goals. I dispel any fitness and nutrition fads that the fitness industry promotes, ending the viscous yo-yo diet cycle.
I come from a sport science background, researching, developing and implementing strategies that get high performing results. Although I loved the details and working scientifically there’s only marginal gains to be had with those that are elite. As such I moved to helping us mere mortals and helping to create life-changing outcomes for everyday people. I draw on my experience in sport and health sciences and have had great opportunities to apply them to many different people in the real world through jobs I’ve had. I’ve worked with elite sports people, those recovering from injury or physiotherapy (NHS) and the general officer worker to the keen gym fanatic.
I’m now a business owner and parent. I understand the challenges that life brings and how it can get in the way of our health and fitness, but I know and my clients know it is possible to still be in the shape you want.
How online personal training works
STEP 1:
Consultation
To create the best training and nutrition plan for you we will start by getting to know your:
1. Goals and what you want to achieve
2. What your current training experience is and any injuries
3. What you current commitments are
4. What equipment you have access to
STEP 2: I'll create the programme
Now I design your custom programme that's going to get results. It will fit around your current lifestyle and circumstances.
I will also analysis your nutrition habits to advise how we can adjust your diet to fit your wants.
STEP 3:
We check-in and adjust
I'm not an online personal trainer that's just going to write the programme and leave you to it.
We will have scheduled check-ins for that all important accountability. We can also discuss how you are getting on and make any adjustments need to you training programme.
STEP 4:
We celebrate your results
This is the bit we are both striving for! You will get the results you want and we will celebrate your achievement's We can then focus on your next steps with your knew found tools and knowledge. At this stage you should be in a great position to carry on making progress on your own. But if you still want expert help that's also possible.

“I’ve been training with Alex three times a week for about 5 months. I first decided to work with a personal trainer as I was very anxious about resuming exercise after recovering from spinal surgery. Alex is a rehab specialist and with his reassurance and encouragement I have built strength and confidence. He ensures that I go at my own pace and grades exercises where necessary, but always makes sure that I’m pushing myself and progressing. I’m feeling happier and healthier than I have in a long time and would highly recommend working with Alex.”

“I thought at 51 I would never be able to lose weight and tone up after putting on 2st post smoking. I don’t have time for a conventional gym, I wanted something effective and motivating I can do at home, in my own time and using the equipment I already have and not too expensive. I came across Alex’s web page and actually had an open chat with Alex about my goals and motivation. Alex made me feel excited at the prospect of moving forward, getting fit and toning up at the same time. His regimes are tough and challenging but get results in a realistic manner and are tailor made for each person. To date I’ve lost almost 1 stone and several inches all over my body and still going strong. My strength is far better than it was in my 20s and all thanks to Alex keeping my workouts interesting and challenging. Alex is always available to message and answers promptly if I ever have any problems.”

“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.”

FAQ
What can an online personal trainer do for me?
If you have ever wanted to be slimmer, more confident, have more energy or improve your physical ability then an online personal trainer might work great for you. With the added bonus it can be done anywhere in the world with any equipment. A online personal trainer will deliver an effective exercise programme, guiding and motivating you through it. In addition an online personal trainer will consider your lifestyle factors and nutrition that contribute to making your exercise programme even more effective.
How long have you been an online personal trainer?
I have been an online personal trainer for around 4 years. In addition to helping people online I own a private training studio in my local area. Before this I have worked in similar roles in gyms, sports teams and the NHS.
Do you do personal training in person?
Yes, I also work as a personal trainer in Exeter. Check that out here
Do I need to be fit to work with a online personal trainer?
Nope! That’s one of the many great things about working with a online personal trainer. It’s a highly effective and efficient way to get fit in the first place. Although athletes and professional sports people often use a personal trainers, it is not necessary to be in great condition to start with. Everyone has their own individual personal challenges to overcome, whether it’s running for a bus or running a marathon.
Am I to old for this?
You are never too old to benefit from exercising! I have trained clients online from 8 years to 94 years old. As we get older, there are changes in our bodies which mean an exercise programme needs to be specific. Exercise is vitally important in helping keep good muscle tone as we age. This will greatly help with mobility, strength, balance and endurance.
It's far more expensive than just joining a gym, right?
Yes, you are right. But there’s good reason for it. A gym membership won’t get you any results if you can’t motivate yourself, can’t access it around your lifestyle, can’t push yourself and can’t programme progressive workouts. An online personal trainer keeps you accountable and does all the other work for you. It can really be the difference between progressing and continuing on a downward spiral. You will also learn how to do everything yourself for the future, making it a great investment.
Will it hurt?
Most likely! If you are returning to exercise after a long period of time or have never exercised, you might feel some muscle soreness, especially at the start. However, this is a results of working your muscles in a way you are unaccustomed to, this stimulates growth and progress in fitness. It won’t always hurt and if you recover well with good sleep and nutrition you might avoid soreness all together.
How do I get started and what if I still have questions?
To get started, see what’s available or ask any other questions you can contact me here. Alternatively, you can contact me using my number, 07393995346 or email, alex@alexreaderfitess.com. When getting in touch it would be great to know your goals and current lifestyle
Do I need any equipment?
Nope! As your dedicated online personal trainer everything can be tailored to you as an individual and that includes what equipment you have access to. You can achieve great results with minimal fancy equipment. However, if you have some or have a gym membership we will certainly make the most of it if it’s suitable.
