Hi, I’m Alex.

In 2012 I realised a dream, bringing the unrivaled fitness thrill and feel-good benefits of boxing to the French Riviera. Since then I’ve amassed thousands of hours training clients one-on-one and in group sessions for adults and children. This was the culmination of a journey which includes training under world-leading professional kickboxers in Thailand, experience in the security industry and working as a globe-trotting teacher.

For 30 years I’ve been an aficionado of Martial Arts and combat sports. I’ve honed multiple styles including Muay Thai, Ju-Jitsu and Boxing. Once a year I spend extended periods in Thailand training among the world’s best teachers and practitioners of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing). I am a fully qualified Personal Trainer, UK qualified school teacher and ITEC accredited Sports Massage Therapist. In life you never stop learning, so I continue to study and take courses to stay at the cutting edge of all things health and fitness.

When not working or training I like to cook (the spicier the better), practice my languages (Spanish, French and latterly Russian), and explore the Alps on skis or a mountain bike.

    I have attended Alexs’ boxing sessions in Antibes since 2013 and have subsequently hired him to train my super yacht crew, providing them with group boxing fitness sessions, body composition testing and individualised nutrition plans. The crew, like myself, loved the training and I saw a definite improvement in their, energy levels, productivity and physical appearance.

    Due to his subject knowledge, passion for his work and consistently high professional standards I would highly recommend Alexs’ services for any Captain wanting to improve crew morale and productivity or to provide a 5* service to charter guests.

    Working in the health and fitness industry on the French Riviera, I have known Alex for a number of years now. His vast experience prompted me to request a self defence workshop for my two teenage girls and their friends, as I believe knowing how to defend yourself is of the utmost importance in the world we live in, especially for young women. Alex delivered a superb afternoon providing the girls with invaluable lifetime tools.

    This resulted in the girls wanting to pursue lessons with Alex privately not only to enhance their self-defence skills, but also receiving a physically intense training session to boost their fitness levels. The Girls love their sessions and benefit greatly from them both physically and mentally

    Fun, full-on and rewarding!! The self-defence/boxing/kick-boxing course that Alex runs for a group of teens including my two sons and daughter are brilliant, Alex is well organised and knowledgable and as a result, the kids are motivated to learn useful life skills as well as increase their fitness and discipline. They are happy and exhausted at the end of every session!!
