Hi I'm Alex Strang
The Mental Fitness Coach
When you are mentally fit, you meet challenges feeling positive, energised, motivated and from a place of control.
"We're so focussed on strength, we forget to strengthen our focus" - LeBron James
What is Mental Fitness Coaching?
Understanding, managing and caring for your mind is a skill.
A skill that I will very quickly help you become more aware of and strengthen.
Think of my coaching as a gym to develop and strengthen your mind, with me a bit like a personal trainer – minus the lycra and drill sergeant commands!
I work with clients from all walks of life, to teach invaluable mental fitness skills that can be used daily to better cope with negative or stressful situations, while helping you develop processes for focussing on what matters to you most.
When you are mentally fit, you meet challenges feeling positive, energised, motivated and from a place of control.
The Benefits
Develop an awareness of how your mind works
Learn processes for defining desired outcomes
Overcome blockers to reach your goals
Learn new skills to care for your mind
Add new tools to your mental toolkit
Improve your overall mental fitness and resilience
Your Personalised Coaching Plan
As a first step we will have an introduction call (at no cost) for me to explain the process in more depth and for you to decide whether there is a fit between us and if the mental fitness approach is right for you.
The starter session block is 3 x 1 hour sessions across a 6 week timeframe.
This gives you enough time to experience the benefits so you can evaluate the value the coaching brings to your life.
Each session is made up of 2 key components:
Developing an understanding of how your mind works & overcoming blockers to reach goals.
Being equipped with the tools and skills to keep you mentally fit & resilient after the coaching sessions have finished - a toolkit you take away with you.
“My ultimate aim is to get you as quickly as possible to a point where you say ‘Thank you Alex, I can take it from here’.”
A bit about me
My journey to becoming The Mental Fitness Coach and founder of Moment Company started 9 years ago when I worked myself into a severe burnout. It resulted in short-term memory loss and a number of other really unpleasant symptoms. Not a nice place to be!
But from this pretty brutal personal experience, came a real positive – and preventative mental healthcare became my life’s mission. The two questions I was looking to answer were – how can I develop the tools to ensure this doesn't happen again? And can I equip the people around me with them?
After an incredible recovery journey, I now share these learnings and skills with as many people as I can – through 1-2-1 coaching and through Moment Company, a preventative mental healthcare business I co-founded to help people take short, mindful moments during their busy day to reduce stress and keep the mind healthy.
I live in East London with Roz our daughter Izzy and son Arlo.

Testimonials
“Alex has a friendly and supportive manner. By the end of our sessions he was not only a great coach, but through his experience also a fantastic advisor. He really got me to see things inside my mind I never thought were there. I would say every minute was worth it, and will surely connect with him again in the future.”
“Alex was able, with insightful comments and on-point questions, to bring clarity to a difficult decision I was wrestling with. He has a remarkable ability to listen very deeply, which results in an organic process of discovery. Come with an open mind and you’ll be impressed at what can happen.”
“Over the 4 years that I’ve had the incredible privilege of having Alex as my coach, there’s been one very consistent reality: Every time we meet (usually on a lovely bench in Regent’s Park early in the morning), I feel more clear. More open. And as a consequence, more able to be effective as a leader because I can overcome challenges without them flattening my energy stores”
Green coaching in Regents Park
“In my sessions with Alex, the topic is often work related, and the results pleasant and surprising. His intuitive questioning led me to look at what I know or feel from a different angle, which gave me interesting insights. One of which is switching to an alternative perspective in approaching negative thoughts by looking at its positive message. All in all the coaching left me feeling positive and upbeat, seeing (also) the humor of the work situations I am dealing with.”
