About Apex Performance
Coaching that fits around your life
Whether you're a busy professional, a parent or simply someone who's let their health slip down the priority list, I understand how difficult it can be to find the time and consistency to look after yourself. Work, family and everyday life can make it easy to keep putting your health off until tomorrow.
But getting in great shape shouldn't mean putting your life on hold.
My 1-1 coaching is built around your life, not the other way around. We'll create a personalised approach to training, nutrition and your habits that fits around your goals, commitments and the life you actually live.
The goal isn't just to help you lose body fat or get fitter for a few months. It's to help you take back control of your health, build a body you're proud of and create habits you can maintain, while still having the freedom to enjoy time with your family, social life and everything else that matters to you.
Meet Your Coach,
Josh
Hi, I'm Josh, the coach behind Apex Performance. I work with busy professionals and parents who want to get in great shape without giving up the life they've built, combining honest coaching with a plan that actually fits around your week.
My mission
Build a body you're proud of, without putting your life on hold
My goal is to help you take back control of your health, build a stronger and healthier body, and feel confident in yourself again, without relying on fad diets, endless cardio or unrealistic routines that don't fit around your life.
Whether you want to lose body fat, build muscle and strength, improve your fitness or simply feel healthier and more energetic, we'll create an approach that works for you. One that's practical enough to fit around your work, family and social life, and sustainable enough to keep doing long after the initial motivation has gone.
Because getting in great shape shouldn't mean giving up the life you enjoy. It should give you the health, confidence and fitness to get more out of it.

Testimonials
What My Clients Say
"I've been training with Josh for almost 3 years and I'm now the fittest and strongest I've ever been. I initially started with the goal of losing some weight after having my second daughter, and lost 6kg in just 6 weeks through strength training and personalised nutrition. Every session is well planned, challenging and genuinely enjoyable. I've gone from barely being able to lift a 5kg dumbbell to feeling stronger and more confident than ever."
Priya Patel
"I've been training with Josh since January and can genuinely see this being a long-term part of my life. At 46, I'd never felt confident in the gym, so having Josh train me weekly and keep me accountable has made such a difference. I've already noticed a real change in my body and, for the first time, I'm looking forward to getting into my bikini on holiday!"
Kirsti Ames
"I've been training with Josh for nearly five years and genuinely couldn't ask for a better PT. He pushes me to my limits while always being supportive, explains the purpose behind each workout and makes sure my technique is safe and effective. Josh's coaching is truly personalised. He created a plan that helped me complete a half marathon and adapted my training and nutrition around my goals and vegetarian lifestyle. Thanks to his guidance, I'm stronger, fitter and, most importantly, happier. I'm incredibly grateful for the impact he's had on my life."

FAQs
Common Questions
How do I get started and how much time will I need to commit?
Getting started is simple. We'll have an initial consultation to talk about your goals, where you're currently at and what you want to achieve, before creating a training and nutrition approach that works around your lifestyle. How much time you need to commit will depend on your goals and schedule, but we'll find an approach that is realistic for you.
How much does it cost?
1-1 coaching starts from £240 p/m, with the exact investment depending on the level of coaching and support that's right for you. This isn't simply about paying for time in the gym. It's about having a plan built around your goals, ongoing support and accountability, and a coach who can help you make changes that last.
We'll start with a consultation to understand where you are, what you want to achieve and what support you need. From there, I'll recommend the most suitable option and explain exactly what's included, so you can decide whether it's the right fit for you.
What makes your coaching different from other personal trainers?
I don't believe getting in great shape is just about having someone tell you what exercises to do. My 1-1 coaching looks at the bigger picture, including your training, nutrition, daily habits, lifestyle and the things that can make staying consistent difficult. Everything is tailored around you, your goals and the life you actually live, rather than trying to fit you into a one-size-fits-all programme.
Do I need any prior fitness experience to start?
Not at all. Whether you're completely new to training, haven't exercised for years or are simply looking to get back into a routine, we'll start from where you are. Your training will be tailored to your current ability, goals and experience, so you can build confidence, learn how to train properly and make progress at a pace that's right for you. You don't need to be fit before you start. That's what I'm here to help you with.
Do I need access to a gym? Or can I train from home?
A gym isn't essential. While I generally recommend training in a well-equipped gym because it gives us more options to progressively challenge you and get the best results, your programme will be built around what you have access to. If training at home is more realistic for your lifestyle, we can make that work too, provided you have some basic equipment. The most effective training plan is one you can consistently fit into your life, so we'll find an approach that works for you.
What kind of results can I expect?
That will depend on where you're starting, what you want to achieve and how consistently you put the plan into practice. My aim isn't to promise you a specific amount of weight loss in a set number of weeks, because everyone responds differently. Instead, we'll work towards steady, sustainable progress in the areas that matter to you, whether that's losing body fat, building muscle and strength, improving your fitness, having more energy or simply feeling more confident in yourself.
The bigger goal is to help you make progress that lasts. You won't just follow a plan and hope for the best. We'll track your progress, make adjustments when needed and build the knowledge and habits that allow you to maintain your results long after you've finished working with me.
What happens if I miss a session?
I understand that life happens, so if you need to reschedule a session, just give me at least 24 hours' notice and I'll do my best to find another suitable time within the same month. If that's not possible, I'll allow the session to roll over into the following month. Sessions missed without 24 hours' notice unfortunately can't be carried over, as the time has been reserved specifically for you.
