I’ve known Alex for 2 years. We share a curiosity that isn’t common. In Alex case, his passion is his fortitude. If he doesn’t know something, he sees it as a challenge. Alex has helped me understand my nutritional needs. I’ve been an athlete all my life and thought I had this area squared away. I couldn’t have been more wrong. With Alex everything is based on science and then through discussion and meticulous testing tailored for you. Test, analyze, repeat. The more information you can give Alex, the more he can work with. And he works his ass off. For so long I was executing my workouts to perfection. However, I put diesel in a Ferrari. And you never put diesel in a Ferrari. I’ve made quantum leaps during the time we’ve worked together. Why aren’t you working with Alex?

Alex is the best thing that could have happened to me, he’s not just a trainer, no, he lives this job 100%. I was really in a very difficult sporting phase, totally in training and then a fall with a broken pelvis … but then I started training with Alex, now I have everything I need, he makes perfectly tailored individual training plans, gives help nutrition and, above all, great mental support !! I can ask him anything at any time of the day and also at night and always get an adequate answer! With him, I was able to significantly improve my FTP in 10 weeks as well as my general well-being and the feeling for my body. The best thing about it is I train significantly fewer hours a week and have plenty of time for the family … so nothing better could have happened to me than finding Alex.

I want a coach to help me improve and develop physically and mentally. To put together a plan and structure that is engaging, takes me out of my comfort zone and gets results. That’s the minimum you should expect.

I’ve been fortunate to have a good coach and a great coach in the past but then, on another level entirely, there’s Alex Coh.

Workouts are cleverly structured and I’m genuinely excited (and a little nervous!) to see what’s laid out in Training Peaks.

I have absolute trust in the process and plan and get daily feedback, advice and support. And its genuine. The sessions are often uncompromising, but I don’t want a coach who can make me average, and with Alex, there is no average. I’ve invested myself in Alex but he’s equally invested himself in me. I want to be my best. He does too.

He gets me. Understands I have a business, a busy family life and limited time. If you want to see what you’re REALLY capable of, I can’t recommend this man highly enough. It’s a great ride and I’m absolutely loving it!

I have had an on/off love affair for the best part of 30years with cycling, falling in love with it multiple times over the course of my adult life, only for various complications of either injury or distraction to take me away from my bikes, often for years at a time. I found I never really got fit enough to be truly comfortable with my performance despite joining a local club and riding regularly; and in 2015 I resolved to try and change that with the addition of some indoor training on a turbo trainer. This was another expensive failure and my turbo sat unloved in my shed for a few more years. In 2018 we went on a family holiday to Greece, and I found there were bikes available to ride and organised guided rides to take part in – fabulous! I was 106kg (on a good day) at the time, and struggled through many of the group rides, last up every hill, including one particularly shameful experience walking up a mountain, that should have taken a recreational cyclist 20minutes or so, and it took me 40.
I enjoyed the trip, despite my woeful fitness, and when I returned home, I dusted off my turbo trainer, and started a zwift subscription in September 2018. My first FTP test had me somewhere around 230w, for my 106kg. I built into my training, starting at a couple of days a week, and building over the years to 6/7 days a week now. I did group rides, learnt about training methods and nutrition and gradually built my performance over the next 3 years to this summer, I went on the same holiday again, now with an FTP of 375w and weighing 87kg. I destroyed every mountain, left all other riders behind me, and finally felt that I had reached the performance level I had been searching for for the last 30years. But where do I go now? How can I go further?
Also this summer I had a fairly decent accident, smashing my shoulder socket and humerus head and needing surgery to rebuild my shoulder, taking me off the bike for a little while. In an effort to solve both the recovery from my injury, as well as take my performance to the next level and see how far I can really go, at 44 years old, I signed up with Alex as my first coach.
I’m now 2 months in to working with Alex, and I have to say the experience has been excellent so far. Alex is incredibly active in both understanding my performance and adapting my training plan accordingly. He’s always available for questions and support, and has rewritten my plan completely at least twice as circumstances have changed with my health and availability.
As a technology executive with two sons who play multiple sports at both school and club, my time is limited, and Alex is great at maximising the effectiveness of every training hour. I am typically able to find about 10hrs a week, which is consistent with what I was doing before joining Alex, but my strength and endurance has definitely improved in the first two months, despite no increase in volume, and I look forward to seeing how far we can go together.

The coaching relationship I have with Alex is incredibly important to me. His support empowers me to achieve my goals. I am a partner at a Big Four global accountancy firm and have a young family, free time is not something I have in abundance. Despite my time constraints, Alex’s considered and focused coaching allows me to compete at a high level at middle and long distance triathlon. Alex’s support has crossed over into my professional life where insights I have gained from his no-nonsense approach has helped me deal with obstacles and address a variety of workplace stresses. For me he is a valued advisor that I thoroughly recommend for anybody thinking about competing in endurance sports.

Alex is a coach that understands high performance, having competed at a high level himself. This means that he knows when it’s time to push on, and when it’s time to rest, as well as what it feels like to both win and lose. This perspective is very helpful in ensuring that the psychological aspects of the training loads are considered, as well as the physiological. As a time-crunched athlete, I have limited training hours available each week around a busy home and work life. Alex is both flexible in his approach to adjusting schedules on the fly, as well as thoughtful about how to make the most of the training time available. I have already recommended Alex to other athletes I know and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

I have fought with my stomach for 25 years. Tried everything.

• lactose free
• gluten free
• fodmap
• coloscopies
• gastrosopia
• acupuncture

Visited so many doctors and specialists I have lost count. I have done triathlon now for five years and when my friend recommended Alex with his own dietary results I was sold. I started in January with Alex and in June I already had my first Ironman 70.3. race without any stomach problems. I recover faster, can train harder and energy and nutrients are absorbed finally so I am healthier as well. I have hired Alex a few months ago to be my triathlon coach as well and I have been very happy so far. This year has been really heavy on the personal life but my stomach has been better than ever and I am looking forward to the rest of my sports journey.

Definitely thumbs up and full recommendation.

Encouraging, supportive and analytic. These three words are the first ones coming to my mind when I think of Alex as my coach. He´s been supporting me with road biking for a couple of months now and there are many factors that I value in our cooperation. First of all, it really is cooperation. He´s always taking the big picture into account and understands that cycling is not all my life since I´m a working mother of two kids who also has other weekly hobbies. Working out should be fun, Alex says. And to me it really is, when I have a professional planning the cycling workouts according to my personal fitness and goals. Workouts are so diverse that they easily keep up the interest and motivation to continuously learn and develop. And for sure, it´s not only fun but it´s also demanding, in a positive way. I´m amazed how Alex is able to both analyze and utilize the data he sees and build the positive development in performance. It´s really cool to have a coach who is passionate about what he´s doing and who truly wants to make his customers succeed!

Alex is much more than your regular coach. His understanding of performance, human psychology, nutrition and basically anything else that affects you as a person is unlimited. Alex will guide you so not only do you meet your goals but smash them while still having balance in life. He has helped me understand myself and where I have been going wrong all these years – he has reconstructed my training and recovery and I have never performed better.

I made it to the Zwift premier league(highest level of racing on Zwift) this year and in 3 races I took 2 wins and one second place – results speak for themselves.

His guidance off the bike has changed my outlook and approach not only to my training and racing but any other obstacle I come across. With Alex you feel a part of the team and not just on your own and that you are getting what is best for you. It is a rare quality to find this day.

I am not one who has a great skill with words, sadly Alex has no fix for that, but I warmly recommend working with him if you want to tap into your potential and reach your 100 percent.

I’ve been loving cycling since I was 10 years old but have pretty much always had issues with my cycling position. I originally got to know Alex after searching for the best bike fitter in town. Spending the 1st two hours in bike fit, listening to his knowledge and enthusiasm to find results was something I hadn’t experienced in the past 30 years.
During the next two years, he became my God of Aerodynamics, explaining clearly the benefits one can achieve via an effective position on the bike. His knowledge was so great that I got the courage to invest into a weapon of my dreams and have really seen the results in watts needed to achieve fast speeds on a bike.
For the past year, I’ve also had Alex as my coach – seeing again the benefits of his wide knowledge and experience. In just six months under his training, I was able to increase the FTP by around 20%. By the end of the season, I was able to still increase the watts & improve the position, thus reaching the result in a full distance Ironman that I had set as a goal in 18 months time. This is especially significant when taking into account that, at the same time, I had to reduce the amount of training hours due to extreme workload. The result was just astonishing!

I couldn’t be happier in the bike fit & coaching from Alex and can highly recommend him!
