Alex Armstrong - Freedom 4 Fitness

Just thought I'd briefly introduce myself for those who haven't met me. My name is Alex Armstrong and I'm an Exercise Physiologist and Personal Trainer. I've been working in health/fitness for about 12 years, in a mixture of places: hospitals, universities, private gyms, large commercial gyms, rehabilitation clinics, community health clubs and as a tele-health provider. Although I was never especially gifted at sport or exercise growing up, it was always a space where I feel the safe and free to express myself. As I've gotten older, that hasn't changed, only that I treat my body more respectfully and my goals are centered around the longevity of my body. My goals are to: i) Empower you to take control of your health and fitness. ii) Provide high quality education. iii) Encourage a positive relationship with your body. iv) Guide you to where you want to go with your health and fitness. v) Improve the health in the general community.
