★★★★★ 35+ five-star Google reviews
For people whose pain or injuries keep getting in the way. You've tried physio. You've tried programmes.
Let's build a way of training your body can keep up with for good.
Based Online and in Edinburgh, UK, Athlete Always provides training to improve your longevity and performance.
TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
RE-BUILD FIRST. THEN JUST TRAIN.
Flagship Programme · 12 weeks · 1:1
[Re]Build
For when pain, injury or surgery has knocked you out of training and nothing so far has stuck. One-to-one coaching to break the cycle of flare-ups and re-injury.
Ongoing 1:1 Coaching
Ready
For people who simply want to train. Get stronger, play your sport, and have a coach in your corner. Join directly, or move here when you finish [Re]Build.
Re[Build]
IS THIS YOU?
Pain or an old injury keeps stopping you training
You have done physio and it helped, but it did not last
You have tried programmes and apps that were not built for your body
You are coming back from surgery or an accident and want more than "rest and see"
You want to train for life, not just get through the next flare-up
HOW THE 12 WEEKS WORK
Weekly 1:1 sessions
We assess, find what your body tolerates today and start building. Lots of ongoing coaching between sessions.
Tapering to twice a month
As your confidence and capacity grow, sessions space out and you take more ownership of your training.
Your next step
Keep weekly sessions, settle at twice a month, or graduate to Ready.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:
Pain is feedback
We listen to it and work with it, rather than pushing through or stopping everything.
Stay strong while you recover
Keeping you training lifts confidence, and confidence speeds recovery.
A partnership with your body
Coaching that adapts to how you move, not rigid rules about perfect form.
Learn to coach yourself
You leave understanding your body, not dependent on a coach.
“Alex’s mobility work should be an integral part of any athlete’s programme.”
— Barbara Kuske, NHS Rheumatology Specialty Doctor & Endurance Athlete
Ready
FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO TRAIN.
No rehab cycle to break. You want to get stronger, move well, keep playing your sport and have a coach who knows your body. Ready is where [Re]Build clients graduate to, and you're welcome to start here too.
Coaching that fits around your life and training goals
Strength and movement built to last, not to peak and break
Support for your sport, races or adventures
The option to step up support again whenever you need it
Your Coach
Hi I’m Alex!
I'm a former international swimmer and I've been coaching in Edinburgh for eight years. I know what it's like when your body stops cooperating and the advice you're given doesn't fit the life you want to live.
My job is to help you understand your body, rebuild trust in it, and leave you able to coach yourself. Training should be a partnership with your body, not a fight with it.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Book a free consultation. We'll talk through your history and goals, and work out together whether [Re]Build or Ready is the right fit.
