Grasp Academy Reviews 18

Grasp are amazing. From start to finish their knowledge, skill and support they gave me throughout my Personal Trainer certification was exemplary.

I can't recommend them enough. Training with Grasp for PT certification is the difference between learning enough to get the certificate and learning enough to be able to offer world class PT.

They are passionate about what they do and insist on passing that on to you as a learner.

Great workshop, booked as part of our culture and engagement plan, focusing on wellbeing. Would highly recommend. Liam knew his stuff and the Team loved it

Our team really enjoyed the session . We all got a great deal out of the time . Very professional outfit

Transformative Experience at Grasp Fitness Academy
Grasp Fitness Academy has exceeded my expectations. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping members reach their goals. Sessions are well-structured, combining motivation with practical guidance, and the atmosphere is both supportive and energising. I’ve noticed real progress in my fitness and confidence thanks to their tailored approach. The facilities are clean, modern, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional yet friendly fitness environment.

Honestly i wan't expecting much from another workshop but this one was brill. Alex from Grasp ran the session and he was just spot on! super friendly, kept thing moving, somehow he got everyone involved which is a big deal!

Since then the office has had a way better vibe, ppl actually seem more on it and we've kept up some strategies that keep us less grumpy in the afternoons. Can't believe it but were planning on booking them again already. Big thanks to Alex, proper legend!

We've had a good year this year but its been hard work and its taken its toll on some of our staff, both physically and mentally. I wanted to reward the guys for what they had done and after talking to my PT, who had been on a Grasp Academy course, I arranged a Wellness focused workshop for all of our staff.

TBH I really just wanted to give everyone a change, a completely different day, and show that I was grateful for their efforts this year. I didn't have any huge expectations.

I was wrong - what a great day!

Alex clearly really knows his stuff giving both generic advice on physical health as well as advice to individuals who have some specific challenges. He also gave great advice on how to develop and to maintain both our physical and mental health on an ongoing basis. What's more, he did all of this with real thoughtfulness and a great sense of humour.

Everbody loved the day.

We will be doing this again

I did my L2 and L3 courses with Grasp a few years ago. Not only did I learn so much during my course but I’ve had ongoing relationships and support from the team ever since. Absolutely lovely guys and impressively knowledgable too

I recently completed my level 2 fitness instructor certification training with Graspp Academy, I’m now about to start my Level 3 personal trainer and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Liam and Alex are not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about helping me succeed.
What really set this provider apart was their support. Whether it was study resources, detailed feedback, or guidance on building a career in fitness, they made sure I felt prepared every step of the way. I now feel confident and excited to start my journey as a PT once I’m fully qualified.
I truly recommend Graspp Academy to anyone looking to start or advance their career in the fitness industry. A top-tier training experience!

I did my level 2 gym instructor qualification through Grassp. All of the trainers were incredible, patient & knowledgeable. I had my qualification within weeks of starting the course. The learning is smooth and effective. Alex and the trainers are always supportive I am now looking to do my level 3 pt instructor course through Grassp also.

I cannot recommend Grasp highly enough. Going back to study after 2 decades in another industry felt so daunting but everyone at Grasp offered so much support and held my hand throughout the entire process. I'm incredibly grateful for all the continued support, even after I qualified!

The trainers are consistently professional, knowledgeable and at the top of their industry. They adapt each client's training to their individual needs and goals. I've been training with them for a number of years on a weekly basis and they will always tailor each session to my requirements and objectives, giving sound advice and teaching in a friendly & supportive environment.

Grasp Academy has recently helped transform my strength, posture, and overall day‑to‑day wellbeing, with a clear focus on improving my muscle strength and control. After a several month spell of tightness and discomfort in my arm, back, and knee, they assessed how I move, identified the key problem areas, and put together a targeted plan to address them.

The sessions concentrate on improving functional strength, posture, mobility, and balanced muscle strength. The weekly plan is progressive and regularly updated giving constant, realistic improvement. Everything is explained clearly, reviewed on every session, and sensible adjustments are made as needed so I can progress without aggravating anything, which has already led to noticeably less discomfort, improved posture, stronger muscles, more consistent energy, with an overall feeling of being healthier in a short space of time.

As someone who has never enjoyed going to the gym, their sessions are refreshing and surprisingly enjoyable, delivered in a way which is easy to engage with, and I always feel a real sense of achievement after each session.

It started around 8 years ago after recommendation for prolapse disc in the lower lumbar. GRASP took the time to evaluate not just the immediate issue but my general mobility and posture.

Being in a physical job in the elements GRASP provided a taylor made progressive programme to get me fit and active which proved successful.
Following this success GRASP then assisted with a niche programme to scale high altitude mountains. They did the research and provided the encouragement. The communication and support that the GRASP team share is a great asset.

Currently using GRASP for mobility and strengthening after a shoulder operation with the aim of climbing higher.

As a marathon and ultramarathon runner, training with Alex each week has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my performance and long-term progression. His depth of knowledge—both in strength and conditioning and in how the body adapts under high training loads—is exceptional. He understands exactly what endurance athletes need, from developing durability and resilience to improving movement efficiency and speed.

What I appreciate most is how personalised and thoughtful his coaching is. Every session is targeted, purposeful, and clearly built with my race calendar, mileage, and fatigue levels in mind. Alex is brilliant at adjusting sessions on the fly, pushing me when it’s right but pulling back when necessary to protect longevity. That balance is rare.

Since training with him, my strength, stability, and overall robustness have noticeably improved. I’m running stronger, recovering better and feeling more confident heading into big training blocks. His ability to explain why we’re doing certain movements—how they translate to running mechanics, injury prevention and race performance—makes the process both motivating and educational.

Alex is professional, supportive and genuinely invested in helping his athletes reach their potential. For any runner looking to stay injury-resistant, get stronger, and elevate their performance, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

My experience with Alex from Grasp has been nothing but positive. Alex has shown a deep knowledge and understanding of how the body works and the many ways to take care of it. After multiple surgeries and complications rehab training has not been linear. Alex has adapted the program with flexibility, curiosity and patience whilst still coaching me to move towards my goals. My mobility and strength has improved significantly over the last few months and I anticipate this will continue.

They're an incredibly knowledgeable and professional team. I'm so grateful for their expertise and dedication. I feel fully supported and motivated.

I highly recommend Grasp Academy.

Grasp Academy has been an absolute game-changer for me. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. What really sets them apart is their deep understanding not only of personal training, but also of the wide range of physiological conditions that can affect exercise, performance, and long-term progression.

A special shout-out to Alex, whose expertise is on another level. He takes the time to explain how the body works, why certain adaptations happen, and how various medical or physiological conditions can influence training outcomes. His ability to adjust programs with precision—while still keeping them challenging, effective, and safe—is something you don’t find often.

Every session feels purposeful, well-structured, and tailored exactly to what I need. I’ve learned more in my time with GrassP Academy than I ever expected, and I’m progressing faster and more confidently because of it.

If you’re looking for a team that truly understands personal training from a scientific, practical, and personalized perspective, GrassP Academy is the place to be. Highly recommended!
