Allan at TAYP has been brilliant for both my partner and I, definitely worth the investment. I live with Ankylosing Spondylitis and needed to find a way to keep moving while managing pain. I knew I needed to exercise and strength train but pain often held me back, feeling nervous about making things worse. Allan has passed on skills and supporting thought systems to manage self recovery and move safely, while building confidence in what I can manage and how to listen to my body. I’ve trained fortnightly for 2 years now, and take many simple exercises into my day to day routine. These routines help me manage a stressful desk job as well as the Ankylosing Spondylitis pain. For the past year my partner has joined me and we’ve loved training as a couple. He has different issues to me, a physically demanding job as a tradesman, and Allan has done well to accommodate both of us. We’re both stronger and more comfortable in our bodies and haven’t needed the physio since training with TAYP. We’re both 52 years old and not into regular gyms at all so it’s been wonderful to have enjoyable sessions tailored to our needs.

Post COVID I was having horrible pain on my shoulders down to my right arm, super tight calves and painful achilles on my left leg! I spent my time on weekly visits to both physio and massage therapists but the problem persisted to the point that I thought I would have to give up what I was doing (beauty therapy). Until March 2024 I took the courage to contact Allan and did a TAYP Confidence program and trained with him, the pain has since dissipated! Allan has amazing combined knowledge of both Eastern and Western physiology and philosophy that helps to alleviate the pain through movements! My achilles no longer hurt, my calves are no where near tight, I don’t feel the pain of my rotator cuff, tennis elbow and wrist tendonitis and if work triggers them a little, I know what to do with what I learnt from Allan! I am not in the constant pain I was at the beginning of this year! Through this course of training with TAYP, I realized that only us to be responsible for our own pain and how to change it! I had so much fear within me that create layers of protection around my pain that I made it worse! I was relying on physio therapist and massage therapists to solve it for me (what an easy way!) but it won’t go until I stepped up to the RIGHT movements! Since then I have learnt the ways I move could build strength and soften my pain! Also, I now know that I can age but don’t have to age with pain! Allan told me “unless you are in the hospital not allowed to move, or you’ve broken your bones, there are always movements to do.” He is so right! Thank you Allan!

I’ve been working with guys at TAYP for about a year now to get range and mobility back into my shoulder after having undergone reconstruction several years ago. I was told by doctors that my strength and motion would be limited for the longest of time. But at TAYP I was able to challenge this belief and find new ways to build strength and regain mobility In my shoulder that I thought not possible! Highly recommend service!

TYPA tailored our fitness needs for my husband and I and their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in helping us move better. We both noticed significant improvements in our overall well-being, all thanks to TYPA tailored workout plans and encouragement. My husband had suffered from shoulder pain for decades and finally took the plunge with shoulder reconstruction operation on both shoulders 10 years ago and since the op he was very robotic in movement with minimal range of motion. But in 6 short weeks with TYPA he is now able to move with ease. It meant having to do homework after each session 3 times a week but the rewards have been outstanding. As for me, I had issues with my right shoulder from carrying babies on my right side hip so I felt out of alignment and my glutes had little to no strength. TYPA again tailored a program with remarkable results ensuring that I stay safe and maintain proper form. What we appreciate most is TYPA positive attitude and unwavering belief in our potential. TYPA enthusiasm is contagious, and it kept us motivated even at our weekly 5am sessions. We are truly grateful for everything TYPA have helped us with. From years of continued pain to now managing our bodies with confidence for our future with the knowledge we now have.

I am over 55 and Allan has shared body concepts and movements that everybody should take up. I am active but suffered from lower back pain and a bulged disc. In 12 weeks there has been an incredible improvement and understanding of what is required to maintain life with less pain. I have been given tools to protect and recover from pain .Thanks Allan.

I was feeling tight in my lower back and hips and was starting to not want to do anything because I wasn’t moving in the way I was used to. I started looking for ways to relieve my pain and found Allan on Instagram. I liked his approach and really wanted to try his methods. I’m very pleased I made contact. Even though I’m not completely pain-free, I am feeling a lot better and have learned how to better monitor my pain and recovery. If you’re not sure what to do - don’t wait. Give Allan a call. He has a wealth of knowledge to share about getting in tune with your body and how to loosen up. His way of explaining how the body should feel is logical and really makes the “pennies” drop! To me, his studio feels like a playground for adults and his sessions are a lot of fun.

I worked online with Allan for over a year and would highly recommend working with him. I have a long…long term injury affecting my movement, and Allan has really helped progress my healing. I loved Allan’s problem solving approach, I felt like we were working together, which was really important to me. The injury I have has caused a lot of disconnection and ‘amnesia’ in my movement. Allan’s innate ability to simplify and visualise concepts was so helpful in improving my ability to reestablish connections, leading to less stiffness and better movement. Thank you Allan, I can’t wait to reconnect in the future!

Training with Allan has made me feel 10 years younger! Even though I have done so many different forms of movement and exercise in the past, Allan has opened my eyes to movement in entirely new ways. I feel stronger and more integrated physically which has also improved my state of mind. Pains and restrictions I carried for years have dissolved. I am very grateful to Allan and highly recommend him! 😊🙏🏻

I’m 52 years of age, still very active but very tight all over. I had been following Allan on instagram for sometime and thought I would reach out and give it a go. I was so glad I did. Allan has created movement patterns for the body that are challenging but also very rewarding. My tightness and pain slowly disappeared, I enjoy running and training BJJ again without the pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend Allan to anybody who wants to have a pain free body and mind.

I've been training with Allan for about 2 years and I hate to think where I'd be now if I never tried TAYP. I'm very active nearly 50, running a swim school (which I intend to keep doing for another 20 years at least!) Pilates and Spin I thought would get me there but I started to get injuries that just wouldn't go away. Shoulder pain, lower back pain, neck pain, getting up in the morning I'd never know what to expect... I'd go see my Physio and get massages but doing a bit of research I realised I needed to up my game with movement and decided to give TAYP a go. I loved it! It wasn't just mindless reps but engaging and stimulating movement exercises. I didn't realise how much fun it would be and educational. I now know what to do when I get up in the morning to warm my body up, what to do if I feel some tightness and if I do get pain how to self massage it away! I'm more flexible than I was 20 years ago, know my body well and love learning more that I can even help my family & friends with. Yes it takes discipline to do daily movement but to be honest it is so motivating when seeing the results that it has given me. I'm so greatful to Allan and can't recommend TAYP enough. It's an investment that will give you years back.

When I reached out to Allan, I was completely broken and in constant pain with lower back spasms for months, nothing would alleviate it; he was my last hope of being able to get my body back and to be able to move again.
During my phone consult, I informed Allan that I had secured a place in the London Marathon, which I’d been waiting 3 years to run it! The catch, we had less than 5 months to get there. How I was going to run 42km when I couldn’t even run for the bus, I had no idea. But the thought of never being able to run again scared me more.

Every session was a stepping-stone towards race day, we built layer upon layer. All aspects, which impacted on being able to move, were addressed, Allan has all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and it comes together uniquely. But what Allan does awesomely is provide context and understanding; everything has a purpose for why you are doing it. The sessions are so inspiring.

Training with Allan has been one of the best journeys I have experienced, he enabled me to get my body back and fulfil my dream of running the London Marathon. It has been an amazing time.

Before joining TAYP program, I struggled with lower back pain, debilitating bilateral carpal tunnel, and persistent vertigo, turning daily tasks into challenges. These injuries resulted from years of unsupervised training in the gym. In 2019, I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, and I stopped exercising. This hiatus impacted both my physical health and mental well-being. I discovered Alan on Instagram. As I observed the group program, I was struck by the evident progress of his clients, I also like his concept of small group, offering a more focused approach. The next day I book a call with Alan. After my first day of training, I told my husband that I have never experienced a program quite like what TAYP offers. This program transformed my life. The designed exercises focused not only on strengthening but also on enhancing my balance and mobility. Within weeks, the dizziness from vertigo began to fade, my wrists strengthened, and my lower back pain started to diminish. And just week into the program, I was able to bend forward without any pain and touch my toes for the very first time!!!! Today its been more than eight months pain and dizziness free. I stand stronger and more balanced, both physically and mentally. Program has been a game-changer for me, offering a holistic approach to healing and wellness. I highly recommend TAYP to anyone hesitant exercising due to pain. Book a call and Alan will Train Away Your Pain. Thank you Alan 🐢 (I can't find a sexy turtle emoji 😂🤣)

Iv been training with Allan now for 6 weeks now and i am blown away by the results. Iv been a high skilled swimmer/fitness fanatic my whole life and the last few years iv have gained a list of injurys that often leave me in crippling pain and have affected not just my swimming/training but my whole life. Allan has taken me through some self massage techniques and exercises to help my individual injury's but also the group sessions have helped me gain the confidence and strength to get back very quickly to a base level i can start to build back up safely and with so much more awareness around how I'm moving. Getting back to swimming regularly and I'm feeling more powerful and connected to my body and how its moving in the water and just in general day to day as well! I cant wait to see how much more improvement i get in 6 months!! Allen is a patient and incredibly knowledgeable with the ability to make it all easy to understand what I'm doing and why. All the time iv spent with chiro/physios etc have never given me such quick pain relief and results as Allan has.

When I retired, I decided it was time to properly tackle my poor posture, knee & hip pain. I found Allan at TAYP was patient, professional and listened to my health concerns. Over 6 months I made many improvements and my pain settled down. Unfortunately, I recently suffered a broken arm after a fall. But, both pre & post operatively, with increased rotational ability and strength, getting in and out of bed and the car was noticeably easier. Back in the gym, TAYP is now a part of my rehab strategy. Best of all, I have a set of simple pain management strategies I can use anytime if I need. Thank you Allan!

I know Alan for sometime now and watch him to grow from Personal Trainer at GYM's to move on and open his own thing!!! His philosophy and movement exercise is a bit different, well I havent seen anything like this His program helped me and still helping me to navigate through challenges. Examples; physical injuries, and medical challenges. I still remember when I broke my foot , my GP was saying cannot put any weight for at least half of year and cannot move I actually started program witn Alan with Robocop cast and was out and about the cast within 1,5 months and back to normal exercise within 3 months. Not bad recovery, now only distant memory. The same apply to recovery after hernia surgery, again doctors sad no lifting 6 months. Obviously I was not training to be heave weight lifting champion, but was able to lift within limits and post surgery recoverty time was much more faster again!!! I drilled doctors why I shouldnt move around and do not any lift weights, the same blanket feedback was received about potential complications post fracture or surgery. If I followed instructions strictly it would of taken me much more longer time to recover and more pain. Obviously everyone is different ,but I am glad I did followed Alan's explanation and recovery program!
