Professional judo and fitness coach in London offering personal training and group classes for adults and children in a private gym

I first met Alona when I started training judo with her. From the beginning she gave a really good impression - calm, professional, and very clear in how she explains things.

What I like most about her teaching is that she explains techniques in a simple, step-by-step way but still pushes you to improve. She’s patient and supportive, and really adjusts to the person she’s working with.

When I started with her, I was honestly a bit nervous because I had taken a break from sport and felt shy to come back. She handled that really well - didn’t rush me or pressure me, but instead made a clear, realistic plan for how I could ease back into training. That made everything feel much less stressful.

I also remember one session where I couldn’t get a throw right at all. She just stayed patient, broke it down, and worked through it with me until it finally clicked.

Overall, she’s a really skilled coach and easy to feel comfortable with. I’d definitely recommend her.

I highly recommend Alona as a judo coach. My child truly enjoys every session and always looks forward to training. It’s clear that Alona creates a positive and supportive environment that helps build both confidence and discipline.

Since starting lessons, I’ve noticed real progress—not only in technique and physical ability, but also in focus and motivation. Alona explains things clearly, is patient, and knows how to connect with her students in a way that keeps them engaged.

We’re very happy with the experience, and I’m grateful to see my child growing and improving while having so much fun. A fantastic coach!
