Alister Collins, Personal Trainer

You don't need another program you'll abandon in week three. You need someone who builds a plan around your actual life, keeps you accountable when it matters, and keeps things simple enough to stick to. That's what I do. Strength and performance coaching based in Christchurch, working out of Flex Fitness Colombo.

What working with me actually looks like

A plan you'll actually follow

You'll know exactly what you're doing when you walk in, and why. No guessing. No winging it.

Training that builds on itself

Every session connects to the last one. You get stronger, you move better, the plan evolves. Nothing random.

Structure without the noise

You show up. I handle the programming. It's not complicated - and that's the point.

Progress that carries into real life

The goal isn't to leave you wrecked. It's to make you more capable - in the gym and outside it.

What clients say

Real people, different starting points, same result - consistent progress and training that actually fits their life.

"I can’t recommend plans and PT sessions by Alister highly enough. He is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. Alister is genuinely supportive, creating a positive and motivating environment while truly caring about your progress every step of the way."

Scarlett S

"Genuinely the best investment I've made in myself. Worth every single dollar."

Cam H

"He's corrected my lifting form to a point where I have a lot more confidence doing exercises I've avoided for years."

Sam C

"In the past I’ve struggled with consistency in the gym. Only going for a few months at a time then falling off. After an initial consult with Alister he put me onto a planned and strategic nutrition / gym program fit for my goals and timeframes. Ive since finished multiple training blocks with Alister, achieved multiple PBs across multiple movements and became fit and healthy again."

Callum C

"AC’s personalised programming has taken my training to the next level. Not only did he help me return to sport after a serious injury, but his extensive knowledge of training now has me stronger, fitter and faster right across the board"

Jack H

"I've been training with Alister for over a year now and the results speak for themselves. He's helped me drop weight and stay consistent in a way I never managed on my own, all while tailoring every session to me. He knows his stuff, keeps me motivated, and is genuinely patient and easy to work with. Can't recommend him enough."

Frequently
asked questions

How does personal training actually help?

It removes the guesswork. Instead of figuring out what to do and hoping it works, you follow a plan built specifically for you - with someone tracking progress and adjusting it along the way.

What makes your coaching approach different?

Every session has a reason behind it. You'll always know what you're training and why - not because I like explaining myself, but because understanding the plan is what makes it stick.

Is personal training only for beginners?

No. It's for anyone who wants more structure, better results, or just needs someone to keep them consistent. Beginners, experienced lifters, return-to-sport - all different starting points, same standard of coaching.

How do you fit training around a busy life?

The program gets built around your schedule, not the other way around. The goal is training that supports your life - not another thing on the list that adds stress.
