Personal Training · Teddington
Strong starts don't need to be scary.
Friendly, science-backed coaching from Aleem Majid — whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or chasing a competition PB. No judgement, no jargon, just a plan that fits your life.
About Aleem
Coaching that meets you where you are
Aleem is a personal trainer based at Better Gym, Teddington, specialising in strength and conditioning with a genuinely holistic approach. He's worked with complete beginners finding their feet in a gym for the first time, right through to competitive powerlifters — and he tailors every plan to the person in front of him, not a generic template.
His approach blends solid science with real-life practicality: proper form and injury prevention come first, progression is sustainable, and he factors in the things most programmes ignore — sleep, stress, time pressure, and motivation. It's coaching for your whole life, not just your workout.
