About
My name is Alex Orlov. I’m a 46-year-old qualified Personal Trainer working across Cardiff. I specialise in working with older adults – but my skills benefit clients of all ages.
I help senior citizens improve their physical health, mobility and general wellbeing. My exercise programmes aim to reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, while boosting bone and muscle strength, coordination and cognitive function.
Strength, energy levels, balance, cardiovascular health and flexibility all improve, leading to greater independence and enhanced quality of life overall.
My story
During the Covid lockdowns, I tipped the scales at 92 kg, and knew that something had to change. I transformed my own body through diet and exercise – and then people started wanting my advice. I realised I could help others to improve their lives.
So, then in my early forties, I made a major career change and became a personal trainer and nutrition coach. And I firmly believe it’s never too late to make significant lifestyle changes.
I’m also Deaf, and communicate via British Sign Language (BSL), lipreading and verbally. (I also speak Hebrew and Russian.)
How I work
We’ll work out what’s best for you together, whether that’s an overarching action plan, a focused training schedule, one-to-one training sessions, daily nutritional check-ins or all of these, so that you meet specific goals.
I live and work by the motto move it or lose it!
Get in touch today via the Contact textfield below and we’ll take it from there.
