Alixander Ashton
Hi, my name is Alix, and my fitness journey has been more of an adventure than a straight path. As a queer, neurodivergent hearing-aid user and a full-time wheelchair user, I understand that fitness spaces do not always feel accessible, welcoming or designed with everyone in mind. That is something I am passionate about changing. Six years ago, I was training to compete in competitive weightlifting and was probably in the best shape of my life. A year later, everything changed when I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle. Long story short, I am now a full-time wheelchair user. For many years, I thought my adventure with fitness was over. Then, one day, I found my passion again. I got back into training and learned how to adapt fitness to my needs, rather than trying to adapt myself to fitness. This is what I can do for you. No matter the challenge or obstacle, we can find a way to make fitness work for you. You may feel that the gym is only for able-bodied people, but I am here to show you that this is simply not true. While I am more than happy to train with anyone, I thrive on the challenge of adapting fitness so that it works for everyone, not just the few. My own experiences as a queer, neurodivergent and disabled person shape the supportive, inclusive and judgement-free environment I aim to create. I put passion, hard work and every bit of myself into my client sessions and programmes, while ensuring that everything is right for you and your individual needs. Whether your goal is strength, weight loss, endurance or simply gaining the confidence to wear your favourite T-shirt again, give me a shout. So, if you are ready to take that first step - or wheel - into the gym, or you are already there but looking for some extra support, I am your guy. Still not sold? Not sure whether you are ready, or whether I am the right trainer for you? Let's chat. I love meeting new people and finding new ways to innovate and make the world of fitness more inclusive.
