About
Hi, my name is Alexa,
I’ve always had a passion for fitness, health, and wellbeing. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I began leading workouts with friends and local women in the park. Taking the lead came naturally, and that experience inspired me to become a qualified Personal Trainer.
I understand how challenging it can be to balance family, work, and staying active. That’s why I focus on creating realistic, supportive, and enjoyable training plans tailored to your lifestyle and goal whether that’s losing weight, building muscle, or improving overall fitness and mobility.
Alongside training, I also offer practical nutrition advice to help you fuel your body and support your goals in a balanced, sustainable way.
I place a strong emphasis on correct technique and form to help you move well, train smart, and avoid injury. My approach isn’t about chasing a specific body shape—it’s about building strength, boosting confidence, and creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that lasts and you enjoy.
Let’s find what works for you and make it sustainable, together.

Phenomenal trainer - understanding, attentive, focused and friendly. By far the top experience I’ve had, and she makes working out a joy. She’s patient yet results driven, and I really, really appreciate how human she is in her approach. Thank you, Alexa. You’re amazing and an asset to the gym.

Alexa is by far one of the top-notch personal trainers I have come across. The resistance, functional training, core and abs I did with her has paid off. She is motivational, detailed and always smiling; she is an asset to the gym where I frequently workout. Keep up the good work.

Training with Alexa at Islington Tennis and Gym Centre has been genuinely transformative. She's incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and always brings such positive energy to every session. Her approach is personal and motivating-she knows how to push you just enough while keeping things fun and rewarding. I've felt myself grow stronger and more confident with each workout. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your progress and tailors the experience to you, Alexa's the one. Couldn't recommend her more!
