Training has had a huge influence on Clide’s life and his vision is for clients to feel the same freedom he does from being at their physical best. To Clide, improving in the gym is not just a physical thing, it is also about achieving mental wellness and peace in oneself and that drives him as a trainer. His interest in fitness began with team sports and then progressed into more sole endeavours, which led him to Martial arts, Boxing and weight training.
Clide says, “You didn’t come this far, to come this far.”
Alexei Sharp
Alexei, who co-owns ESPH, is a former UK champion and international decathlete. A combination of career ending injuries, sporting pursuits and a university place in medicine (declined to concentrate on sport) informed his philosophy towards exercise and physical health. Alexei is available for PT & Cycle classes.
Alexei says, “Elite competitive sport has given me plenty of discipline. I believe in hard work but with plenty of rewards. It think it is important that you see and feel the results to keep coming back. What you want to achieve is in your hands – just show up! It’s a journey and I believe in your health first, but you can have your cake…as long as you come to ESPH regularly.”

Her experience spans professional athletes to rehabilitation clients. After overcoming several injuries herself, Alex uses her experience to adapt the training style to suit specific needs. This includes strength-based training, muscle building, fat loss, functional training, cardio fitness and core strength enhancement.
