I began training with Alan about three months ago as I started preparing for the London Marathon. The problem was, a couple of years back, I discovered I had torn cartilage behind my kneecap, which made certain exercises (including running at times) somewhat difficult.

But since I started with Alan, the pain that used to bother me during simple activities like walking up stairs or doing squats has disappeared. We've worked on strengthening all the muscles that support my knee as well as building my strength to help me run faster....I got a PB in a recent 10k so something is clearly working!

Alan has been great at tailoring my workouts and setting up a clear plan as I work towards the marathon. His approach has really helped me recover and safely push my limits to keep improving.

I've really enjoyed training with Alan and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve their performance or get back into their favourite sport after injury. He's incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and is a really great guy to work with.

My partner and I are both training for the London Marathon in April. Being fairly regular runners, we both struggled with recurrent knee pains (mine being IT band trouble) which limited what we could do while training and on race day.

A few months ago we started training with Alan with a focus not only on injury rehab/prevention, but also on improving our performance as we’re both chasing PBs! The knee pain I used to get has resolved and I’m definitely feeling stronger and more confident while running.

From the get-go, Alan’s approach was tailored to our prior experience, current needs and goals. There’s a clear structure and purpose to what we’re doing in the run up to the marathon with both gym and home based sessions.

Alan has a wealth of experience in different sports including at elite level - it goes without saying that he clearly knows his stuff! Most importantly, though, I’ve really enjoyed training with him.

If you’re looking to come back from injury, or you want to improve your sporting performance, I can’t recommend Alan enough.

I came to Alan with ACL reconstruction surgery and some problems that i was facing before i went with him was knee flection and being able to accept force and weight through my knee as i had started the process of running and plyometrics again. From working with him, i was massively able to improve in these areas and he got me to a really comfortable place where i was able to get back to how i was pre injury and be even better in certain aspects. Whilst we did rehab it was also made as enjoyable as it could be through his easy going and fun personality which was a big help during the tougher days of my injury. I would say that is a big reason why i would recommend Alan to anyone who is going through a lengthy time out of a sport as he is very knowledgeable in his field but also has his ways of putting a smile on your face.

Very helpful with helping me returning to play, interactive, always lets me ask questions and how I feel about it the drill/exercise! Alan’s detail is very specific in what he does and very beneficial, would highly recommend!
