He’s also incredibly personable and warm.

You have been great to work with Alex, your consistency and application is really paying off!
Fantastic experience: This week I was playing basketball and my opponent said to me during some freethrows 'woah you're strong mate' and I replied 'thanks, I went to the gym this morning'. I wasn't quick witted enough to tell him that I do PT sessions with Ben Sharpe once a week, but if I had my time again I'd respond with that and highly recommend him to work with Ben on improving his own strength so as to make our next meeting on the court a battle of the strong men.

His expertise and eye for detail sets him apart, and his gentle encouragement/coaching style is exactly what I needed to regain confidence in the gym. The entire program is super professional, with interactive apps and finely tuned facilities. I asked him ‘Are you gonna get me fit?’ And he just nodded and smiled. Top bloke!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer - I’m in some of the best shape of my life and I’m 41! Of more surprise is how my range of motion has improved through strength training (and not stretching etc.). I train weekly with Ben and he writes a program for me to train twice a week on my own. Programs change monthly. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
