Alan's journey and passion
Alan Armstrong is a dedicated gym support professional based in Edinburgh, with a profound commitment to helping people living with dementia. His personal training sessions are created in loving memory of Anrdre Yarham, infusing each programme with purpose and heartfelt dedication. Alan's background as a gym supporter has equipped him with invaluable insights into the unique needs and challenges faced by individuals with dementia, driving his passion to make a significant difference through fitness.
A unique approach to fitness
Alan's unique way of working with clients, particularly those living with dementia, is rooted in compassion and experience. He has worked one-to-one with men in gym sessions for over two years, witnessing firsthand the profound positive impact that tailored exercise can have. Clients can expect a supportive, patient, and understanding environment during each session, focusing on low-impact movements and mindful connections designed to reduce the effects of dementia and foster a positive mindset, even during difficult times.
Inspiring client successes
Alan's work is filled with powerful stories of resilience and improvement. Among his proudest achievements are two clients who, a year ago, were expected to be in palliative care. Thanks to their consistent engagement in his gym sessions, they are now well into their second year of training. These remarkable outcomes are a testament to the transformative power of dedicated, thoughtful personal training for individuals living with dementia, highlighting the real and tangible benefits of movement and positive mindset.
