The Science of Movement Meets the Art of Coaching. If you think CrossFit is just about lifting heavy barbells, Alex Mansell is here to completely change your perspective. With over a decade of elite industry experience in personal training and group fitness, Alex approaches health from a holistic, 360-degree angle. As our Gym Manager, Head Coach, and the Co-Founder of our Alternative Provision program, Alex’s true passion lies in helping people move without pain. He is highly qualified in clinical exercise referral, specializing in lower back pain management and helping clients navigate chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity. But what truly sets Alex apart is his unique blend of training modalities. Alongside intense functional fitness, he is a certified Pilates and Yoga instructor, as well as a Sports Massage Therapist. This means whether you are an athlete looking to unlock explosive power, or someone simply wanting to get out of bed without an aching back, Alex has the precise toolset to get you there safely. When you step into a class coached by Alex, expect sharp attention to detail, expert scaling, and an incredibly supportive environment. He believes that fitness should build your life up, not tear your body down. Out of the gym, Alex applies that same dedication to leading our Alternative Provision program, using movement as a powerful tool to mentor and support local youth.
