Alex Backhouse - Strength & Conditioning Personal Trainer

Alex has been a Personal Trainer since 2005. As a keen gym user and martial artist in his early 20s, turning his passion into a career seemed a natural progression.

His philosophy on training is that you should have a complete approach to fitness. This grew from his experience in mixed martial arts and the need to be a 'complete' athlete to succeed in this immensely challenging sport.

Alongside his original Level 3 PT qualification, he has travelled internationally to expand his CV.

Alex Backhouse completed his Crossfit Certification in Belgium, as well as his a Functional Trainer Specialist qualification and in-house mentorship from the Institute of Human Performance in Florida. He has also studied under the world famous Charles Poliquin both as a Biosignature Modulation Practitioner and as a Strength and Conditioning coach. He is also a Level 2 MMA Strength and Conditioning Coach, certified by JC Santana, one of the top strength coaches in the world for combat athletes.

Having trained such a wide variety of people all with very different goals (including professional athletes and rehab patients) means that he knows what works, because he's seen it work.

He trains his clients in equal parts Strength, Speed, Endurance, Power and Balance. The result: Clients end up fitter than they ever imagined, with new skills and confidence to go with their new, streamlined bodies.
