"I joined AMC to improve my overall fitness and support training for my first marathon. Within two-months my overall fitness and endurance had improved well beyond expectations, my confidence with gym exercises and equipment has grown massively, whilst making new friends and working hard. I'd thoroughly recommend Alan's style of training"

"Alan is a real dedicated individual who engages closely with each and
every one of his clients to ensure they can obtain their fitness goals. I trained with Alan for around a year and not only exceeded my fitness
goals but had fun doing so. If anyone can drive you towards the success you require with your body and overall wellness its Alan"

"Training with Alan has been great, he keeps me motivated and the results
have been very positive – my general fitness has increased significantly and it has given me the confidence to start running. If you are anything like me

He knows how to get the most out of your training and believe me when I say you'll enjoy every minute of it. If your're looking for results, he is your man!

Shannen Butt
"I have been training with Alan for two years now and go to him specifically for squash conditioning training. There is no doubt that he works you hard - but that's what's required! Alan always varies his sessions and really produces results. My reaction, sharpness and agility significantly improve as a result of our sessions. I can highly recommend Alan for conditioning training - top lad and good fun!"
Bruce St Leger
"I have been a client of Alan's for over a year. Previously I'd not been near a gym in years. The fact that I'm still working out with Alan tells you a lot about how good he is. After a year each workout still has something new and different. He's addictive."
Paul Ingham
"I've been training with Alan weekly for about 3 years. He is a constant motivator, helping me achieve my goals. I am in the best shape I have ever been in and will continue to train with Alan, his sessions are always fun, varied and challenging. I would recommend AMC-training to anyone who wants to stay or get in great shape."
Jacky Jones
"I used to go to the gym once as month and do the same work out every time, and wonder why i wasn't getting results. I now go to the gym twice a week and Alan pushes me to the limit every time. I'm stronger and faster than ever before and really look forward to new challenges. I'd thoroughly recommend AMC training."

Woburn 10k
Congratulations on those who took part in the 10k at Woburn last week. I am sorry I wasn't there, I will book my place well in advance next time. Your photos are on the Challenge Central website.
Stevenage Half Marathon
Excellent achievements from all involved in the half marathon in Stevenage. Lots of first timers and personal bests.
Thanks also to those who came to support us in some horrible weather conditions.
Special congratulations to Malcolm who put us to shame by running twice as far on the same day by completing New York Marathon in 3hrs 25mins! - Achievements
12 in 12
12 Marathons in 12 Months!
Most of you have been persuaded to do at least one by now, but for those who haven't given in it - nor I have I!
The list has been updated and there will be further changes to some of the marathons towards the end of the year but the first 6 are all definitely happening and I have booked into them all.
There is a half marathon on the 13th of Dec. This is the day after our Christmas/birthday bash so I won't be attending this one but both Lee and Doug are booked in if anyone else fancies it. See the Challenge Central website.
Training Sessions
Triathlon training sessions will be running every Sunday from 1.15pm.
The sessions will include swimming with biking and/or running.
It's the first Saturday of the month this week which should mean assessment day but I am away taking part in the Grim Challenge so the assessment session will therefore run this Friday evening between 7-8pm. Let me know if you want to come so I can recommend a time slot. We might have push through them as I will only have an hour.
Christmas Training and hours
I will be away between the 17th - 23rd which will obviously effect a lot of your training schedules, I will speak to you all personally about it but I wanted to make you are aware that I will be available on the 24th and 26th.
Depending on interest and your work patterns I will also put on group training slots every day if anyone want to go on a training blitz between Christmas and New Year.
Christmas Party
We will be celebrating a year of achievements and results on December the 12th which is also my birthday.
There is a discussion on the forum about times and plans. Come and get involved, I won't tell you off for drinking! (I will tell you off if you aren't)
Website Updates
The achievements section and the client profile section have been updated. I still need some photos of some of you, don't let me forget this week!
I will be working on the grading system this month ready to get it started in the new year!
New Year... New you?
For any of you out there who have let your training slip over the past few months, all is not lost - I am only ever a phone call away!
The best time to get back into training was yesterday... the next best time is today!
