About

Hi! I'm Alex.

Along with my wife Zoe and our 3 year son, we focus on caring for our health with a fully holistic and well rounded approach. We believe that true 'health' encompasses the body, mind & spirit and is multi faceted, in comparison to the standard fitness approach of exercise more and eat less. Our goal, is that through Lighthouse Health & Wellness, we will be able to help others to feel fresh and rejuvenated, by shining a light on all the different areas of life which can either hold us back or propel us into being happier and healthier.

If you feel like your health needs a boost, and you'd like to know more about the different ways you can increase your overall wellbeing, then please contact us for a free consultation with Alex to discuss your options on how we can guide you on this important journey.

We look forward to getting to know you.

Our Clients Say

10 weeks completed of a healthier, more active, plant based lifestyle. I thought the vegan thing would be tough but it was actually a good challenge and tried some really nice meals along the way.

We both signed up to get healthier and lose a bit of weight after our wedding. Well the measurements are in and I’ve lost 9.5lbs plus 28.5 centimetres from my body Josh’s results are equally as good!

Thank you Alex for your encouragement and support over this period. I’d definitely recommend you to anyone who may also want a kick up the bum!!

A healthy body isn’t what it looks like but how it functions 💙

Working in the fitness industry for over a decade now, I have found that one of the most challenging parts of being in this environment is to not workout for body shape/image, but instead to improve how the body moves, feels & recovers.

This doesn’t necessarily mean scraping the strength training program but instead asking yourself is it in balance with the rest of your exercise program?
If we focus too much on one aspect of training from weightlifting to stretching it can create an in-balance.

So my advice is to know what you’re training for (myself it’s to be able to play with my child), so my main focus in physical activity is functional training/body weight workouts. This will be the core of my week but not forgetting the importance of stretching out, swimming, strength training, mobility, walking & general activities/sports.

With this balance it will help increase recovery therefore reducing the chance of injuries, creating consistency over time to help improve my body to live a more full life.

Look at fitness in a new light - not for ‘how are these workouts going to make me look’ but instead ‘what will workouts add to my life!’

For me the abundance of energy, mobility to get up & down, to climb trees, to bounce on a trampoline, to run around & just be a big kid with my toddler is how my workouts add something to my life. Without keeping focused on my fitness, I wouldn’t be able to do any of these things and my quality of life (and happiness) would be so much lower!

Now what would you like fitness to add to your life?

Like many people in our world it’s potentially a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even not a priority at all.

Your Health Matters!
Not only to ourselves but also it will benefit the people around us. Regular exercise will lift your mood & energy levels to help you live life to its fullest!

It may surprise you to know what motivates me as a personal trainer!

Many reasons which might spring to mind for my motivation to train could be:
-To look the part
-You have to it’s your job
-To lead by example

But over the past few years my motivation & why I do what I do have changed from such examples to what truly is important… Which will motivate me for the rest of my life!

I train now for longevity. Planing for the future & keeping moving until my retirement is something which is a long term investment for my health which needs to start now!

It’s not all about what I can lift, how I look or even what people may think of me.

But instead it’s about how I feel internally & how am I looking after my body for when my kids grow up & still able to be that dad who can kick a football around, do the monkey bars, wrestle on the floor, swim in the pool, climb that wall & so much more.

Find your true why to health & fitness, and really turn the tables on getting that consistent training in & therefore results.

Some of my favourite ways to cook tofu… when people first hear how healthy tofu is for you, their first reaction is ‘shame it tastes so bad’!!

But what that instantly tells me is that you haven’t been cooking it right! Tofu does not taste its best straight out the packaging, like many foods, it needs good seasoning and correct cooking methods to really taste its best 😍

Try some of our favourites below:
Tofu scramble
Fried tofu stir fry
Baked tofu curry

How many hours do you spend thinking about what you want to do compared to doing it?

If your like me an awful lot! It’s so easy in today’s world with the abundance of information out there to look into things way more than what’s needed. This can especially be the case if you’re new or re-entering the health & fitness journey for 2024.

The sometimes overwhelming amount of programmes, exercises, diets, breathing techniques, mindfulness coaching can make us procrastinate for way too long in what we should do or even put us off starting altogether!

One of the main benefits of personal training (in my experience) is that the decision on the best course of action for you is made straight away. Cutting out a big bulk of time in researching/planning to divert into getting your body moving to a fitter/healthier you for the rest of 2024 & beyond.

Let’s move more like humans!

We find ourselves in the modern world never walking on uneven surfaces, going in lifts, sitting on chairs, staying still for hours on end & just a lot of things we would have never done.

Let’s rewind into our past (before the industrial revolution), the majority of us would have been moving on a regular basis just as part of life. We would have been walking on uneven floors in woodlands, climbing up banks, sitting down in a low squat to eat, hanging from trees, jumping up & over stuff, doing a lot of groundwork therefore stretching out the body.

Ok granted we don’t have a time machine, but why not take the modern comforts of our world & add in these movements into our daily lives. This way we can have the best of both worlds!

A personal way for me to move more human is to join in & play with my young son, his moment is inspirational to watch & is how the body should move. So he’s my time machine it’s just being prepared to not care what people think & just join in with him to move & have fun .

How often do you put our wealth before health?

It’s a very easy trap to fall into, often chasing the next promotion, prioritise spending money on material products over our food quality may come at an unexpected cost…

It’s not to say we shouldn’t go after the finer things in life, it’s just another factor which we need to consider when taking on extra responsibility or expenses. Our health isn’t replaceable & it’s needs to be thought about with the same importance as our household budget.

A great way to get that balance with wealth & health, which is essential for an optimal health lifestyle. Is to just have a honest conversation with yourself & ask can your body & mind continue at this rate for a prolonged period of time?
If the answer is no, then what needs to change to improve your all round health. Then come up with a plan to help improve your lifestyle & general health for the future years to come.

Feeling stressed & anxious?
You’re not alone, more & more people are unfortunately finding themselves overwhelmed & struggling to keep up with this fast paced world.
This is why I feel it’s so important to make time for yourself to slow down & be in the peace of nature.

Stepping outside for just an average of 30 minutes per day can lower your blood pressure by up to 10%, greatly reducing the risks of serious health conditions later on in life. While in the short term improving your self confidence, self esteem, anxiety levels & stress levels to help fight against mental health conditions such as depression.

The great thing is you don’t need to find a secluded woods to received these free benefits, just somewhere away from the concrete jungle to be with the natural world.

So no matter the season/weather conditions, please make sure to allocate the minimum time for yourself to get the full benefits of nature’s healing properties (even if that means putting that rainmac on haha).

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs!

The majority of us don’t start changing our lives due to “not knowing it all” before we have even started. We want to have a full map of what we are doing from the get go.
In fitness this is no different, spending many hours researching the best training programmes, perfect diet, trainers, how much sleep we need, how many minutes we should workout for, the list is infinitive!
More often or not it becomes overwhelming & we give up before even starting.

Instead just pick one job at a time to focus on. Give yourself a timescale of when you want to master it by, then move onto the next task. Before you know it your have an arsenal of knowledge with practical experience to go with it.

Can’t think of one?
Master cutting out unhealthy snacks in the weekdays, which will help lead you to a healthier diet.

Our bodies are always keeping track on what we consume. Silently taking note of what we have eaten over the past 1 minute to the previous decades.

If we choose to digest good foods, then our bodies will thrive & we will have energy in abundance. But if we choose a bad option (even if no one’s looking), the body will react immediately with inconsistent energy spikes or with inflammation & pain further down the line. Your body knows the difference between good & bad!

Easy way of helping your body on a cellular level is to increase the amount of organic fruits & vegetables in our diets. Most these foods are alkaline which will help rebalance our body.

Eating healthy is the best way to increase your productivity (in everything). It’s the largest investment you can ever make & by replacing the takeaways with good quality whole foods will actually save you money too!

40 days of nutrition for lent.

Every year when lent comes around, Christians may choose to take something out of their daily routine which the individual feels isn’t in their best interest.

This year I wanted to do something a little bit more challenging & to cut out as much heavily processed foods/drinks as possible. While being vegan already I don’t have to worry about the meat & dairy side of things, but instead to try & get as close to a wholefood plant based diet as possible. A few examples I won’t be able to have is bread (unless traditionally made eg sourdough), pre-made package foods which aren’t whole foods, any sweets/pudding/biscuits/cakes etc, sugar, sweeteners, E-numbers, preservatives, takeaways, fast foods plus many more extra ingredients which have been added into our system over the past half century or so…

I will also upload a day 1 photo & day 40 photo to show any progress made (if any). Along with daily snaps to my story with a highlights tab on my Instagram page to show the best of my lent journey.

It’s important to take time out of our busy schedules to be more human!

We all seem so busy in our daily schedules in todays age, it’s easy to miss out on a basic human need. To socialise with family & friends is so important. Plenty of studies have proven the importance of social interaction with each other, some going as far to say loneliness is our biggest concern for our health.

So if you feel like this is you, open up your calendar now text your partner or a friend & arrange to meet up for a catch up to help improve your wellbeing.

What is the best form of exercise?

You’ll be surprised at how many times over the years I have been asked this question, and the answer is simple really!

It’s whatever gets you to get up & get moving 👟🏋️‍♂️
Whatever motivates you to raises that heart rate, build strength, improve balance & so on will bring you the greatest return in becoming a healthier you!
Yes the gym is a very effective tool to hit all aspects of physical fitness but it doesn’t need to be filling up your calendar every single day, instead fill up the time around the gym with sports/activities you enjoy. Maybe take up a old hobby which you used to love.

The fact is we all enjoy different things in life & this true with exercise & how we do our bit. So write down a list of your favourite things to get moving & add them into your schedule.

A few of my favourite examples of exercise is bodyweight training, walking in nature, yoga classes (online & in person), spin, playing with my son Zach (improving mobility), gardening (when sunny 😂) & active social activities such as zip lining, go karting, trampolining.

Do you have any other tips on how you keep yourself motivated & moving?

Tap into your potential 🧡

Over many years of training many clients, I’m fortunate to witness what is possible with human transformation when we put our minds to it. On a personal level it always makes me inspired & motivated to improve my own life. But on a outward view it fills me with great hope into looking at the future for what can be & how if more of us shifted our focus to a little more self care & love, how this could improve the current & future generations for the better 🧡

Start by in-visioning a healthier you, allow 30 minutes a day for this & start to enjoy the process of self growth 🧡

DO NOT be put off improving your health due to feeling your not fit enough to start exercising!

Unfortunately I hear this way to many times, people thinking too negatively about their current energy, fitness, strength, appearance & it really gets me down.

This is because the greatest improvements are made at the beginning of a journey! The biggest challenge to begin with is hitting the start button.
The physical side is the simple side as when we’re just starting out we don’t have to do too much as a 15 minute walk is so much more than yesterday.

So wherever you are, it’s never to a good time to not start improving your health 🧡

How often a day do you take time out to care for yourself?

If the answer is not much, your not alone! Often we spend way to much time being distracted by 21st century life & materials, it’s way too easy to get caught up in chasing the next thing or keeping up appearances. For example the next job promotion or excessively cleaning our possessions.

It’s not to say we can’t do this, but to ask ourselves is it effecting our health in a negative way? Or is it just taking up too much of our spare time to improve our lifestyle? If it is, is it worth your body paying the price for it?

Why…

Why start a fitness journey at all?

This is a very good question & one that’s often not considered enough.

We all have plenty of goals such as I want to lose weight, I want to feel more confident, I’d like to have more energy. Which is good, but it isn’t going to get us out of bed in the morning in a month time to do a 20 minute workout…

Keep your goals in mind but ask yourself what will you achieve when you accomplish those goals and why your doing it?

For example if it’s to have more energy, why is that so important? Is it to be able to play with your kids, join in on rock climbing with then, to not fall asleep on the chair after work & just to be more present for them.
Now this is the power of the Why, you have a greater purpose to completing your goal you shall find a way of getting there.

As when a reason is larger than yourself your find a way of rising to the occasion.

#yourwhy #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #motivation #selfimprovement

It’s been a longer than expected journey (with plenty of falls on the way), in achieving this personal goal of being able to do a headstand.

This is just a quick compilation of how I managed to progress on to headstand over the past couple of months. Which will hopefully help you get there too!
Also I kept in a few outtakes at the end to show it’s been a bit of trail & error along the way, but practice make prefect along a positive mindset.

Remember whatever your goal is physically or mentally, it’s about consistency & slight improvements over time which will get you there. Don’t be to hard on yourself if it doesn’t happen straight away as when doing anything which is difficult, this is when true self growth occurs 💪🧡

It hasn’t finished here, now to push into handstands, which I’m expecting many up & downs on the way but over time improvements will be made. Which I’m certain I will get there!

Do you have any fitness goals your working towards this year, if so how is it going?
