Our Founder
My name is Rufus Bradshaw, I’m the founder of Alchemy Personal Training in Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
For over 23 years, my journey has revolved around fostering change through health, fitness, and well-being. While the destination is always in sight, it’s the path that has granted me the most valuable insights. This brings me to Alchemy, the Personal Training company I established in 2006. It’s not solely about sculpting bodies; it’s about transforming lives.
Throughout my career, I’ve pursued the industry’s most esteemed qualifications, realising that knowledge is a key, but it’s the application that truly empowers. At Alchemy Personal Training in Wilmslow, we merge this expertise with precise programming and tailored nutritional guidance to drive your personal transformation. Changing demands effort, hard work, challenges, ups and downs. Yet, the greatest project we must work on is ourselves, and facing these challenges is fundamental.
With a wealth of experience encompassing every fitness challenge imaginable, I’ve grown certain that together, we can overcome any hurdle.
What truly ignites the passion within me and my team? Your success.
It’s the core reason behind everything we do. At Alchemy Personal Training, your accomplishments are the driving force that fuels our commitment. Guiding you towards your fitness aspirations is our goal.
