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.

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 😂🤣)

I wish it were possible to give them more than 5 stars! I was suffering with lower back pain since I am quite physical in my job. It was also effecting me mentally and emotionally. I was facing the hard truth that age was finally limiting me. Allan and Ben's thoughtful and caring guidance has changed my health on every level. Their unique and personalised program has made me trust and like my body. The dynamic routines have made me stronger, more flexible and more aware of how my body works and how to use it best. The overwhelming physical results have made me happier and opened my mind and heart in ways I did not expect. THANK YOU TAYP!!!!

Apologies in advance for such a long review, but it’s truly been a journey and I want my story to help others in the same situation. At the risk of sounding over the top, Alan and Ben have literally changed my life. I suffered from lower back ailments on and off over the last 15 years probably due to a desk bound job, having children etc. Over the years I have had tried different forms of exercise to address it (yoga, pilates, swimming, running) but nothing dealt with the pain I was experiencing and some forms of exercise made it worse. A couple of years ago I aggravated my back terribly (L4.5 / L5.S1 annular disc irritation and sacroiliac ligament strain) by simply getting out of bed and was left with daily ongoing debilitating pain that just didn’t seem to get better. As everything is connected, over time I also started noticing my neck was being affected too. This combo resulted in daily headaches, pins& needles down my arms and pain shooting across my lower back and down my legs. I was visiting an amazing Chiropractor approximately every 10 days and he would get me moving again, my pain would be reduced but didn’t completely cease. He would get me to a point where I could move again but after 2 years of constant visits I realized I wasn’t doing enough to help myself out of my pain cycle. I felt pretty lost at Osteo and Physio. They hurt and felt worse after. Excercise hurt. Driving to the supermarket hurt. Gardening hurt. Sitting at my desk hurt. Sneezing hurt!! I was scared I would need an operation. My constant pain was exhausting - aging me faster, extinguishing all my joy (I couldn’t even bend down to tie my shoelaces without significant pain) it compromised my sleep (I couldn’t turn in bed without bracing myself) and produced an anxiety that took over my life. I was on a constant merry go round of appointments, pain killers and dreading basic things things like picking up my daughter or going to a picnic for fear of having to sit on the ground. It wasn’t great to feel that uncomfortable in my own body. I felt weak and vulnerable in everything I did. I was literally at my wits end with it all and frightened about my future. I was apprehensive about the commitment required at Train Away Your Pain (exhausted from pain and worried training would make it worse) but I was really desperate so decided to give it a go. Allan and Ben were beyond amazing. Life changing is definitely the words I would use. They meet you where you are. You start small and at an achievable consistent pace. They build your confidence as well teach you how to reconnect your mind to your body. They are gentle, encouraging and wise beyond their years about the science of movement, the psychology of pain and the ability we all have to overcome our own pain and discomforts. They sincerely care about your outcomes. I’ve been going for 4months now. My pain and discomfort level has gone from a high level 90% of the time to a low level probably 10% or less of the time. I now only go to my Chiropractor once every 5 weeks and I require far fewer adjustments. When I started at TAYP I couldn’t even lift the 6kg kettle bells. I’m now on 14kg kettles easily with no back pain. I can now sit comfortably at my desk and get in and out of the car like the 45year old I am instead of feeling like an 80 year old I felt like. I now only have sore muscles from training (the good sore) and not the pain, discomfort and alarm bells ringing in my mind when I moved awkwardly (the bad sore). My confidence is being restored and I play with my daughter again. I have my life back. Sleep is better. There’s much more joy. I wouldn’t have it all if it weren’t for Alan and Ben. When you are released from pain it’s literally like a curtain is being pulled back and the sunlight is flooding in again. I can’t recommend Alan and Ben at Train Away Your Pain highly enough. I truly feel blessed to have found them.

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!

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.

I was skeptical at first because the training was very different to my usual experience and the language took me a while to become familiar with the concepts-but interestingly,that was another muscle to train away!!!I couldn’t walk up stairs without using the handrail,my hips,knees,wrists and shoulders ached sometimes intensely.I still get knee “weirdness”…but it is SO improved..my entire skeleton feels stronger and tougher..I feel recovery from aches and pains is fast and I’m more attentive to my range of movements and the importance of different self care modalities..it’s fun to learn rolling and falling,and techniques which enliven me..I’m onto my 4th month..I can actually run a bit and walk up stairs and move like a person not a failing demographic and I’m HAPPY!!HUGE thumbs up to Allan!!

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.

I started training with Ben and Alan as part of my rehabilitation, following a serious broken leg and operation. Ben and Alan provide a unique training methodology, they encourage personal responsibility, without judgement, on problems in the path of mobility and dynamic movement. This leads to greater self awareness and self management in the process of recovery after injury and even more importantly preventative measures. At the age of 40 and after three months of training I am now capable of leaping and landing from great heights with no fear and no pain. Two significant withholds for me after my injury. The detail is in the fluid movement in both leaping and landing, where their expertise lies. This training has changed my perspective of my entire body and it’s relationship to movement and health. I encourage anyone reading this to explore their training no matter your state of health.
