Alex Mcgroarty-Raine

  • Body Composition
  • Weight Loss
  • Biomechanics
  • Injury Prevention

I've been a personal trainer for over five years, and I co-founded PHNX Performance Centre with Danielle to give Liverpool city centre a semi-private gym where training feels personal and focused. I specialise in body composition and weight loss, including supporting clients managing obesity and diabetes, with a strong focus on biomechanics and injury prevention so you train safely and keep progressing. Every programme I write is built around you, whether you're brand new to the gym or chasing your next PB. I also run PHNX Coaching, so you get support, programming and check-ins through the PHNX app between sessions.

Danielle Burns

  • Movement Quality
  • Strength Training
  • Beginner Coaching
  • Dance Background

I co-founded PHNX Performance Centre with Alex to create a semi-private gym in Liverpool city centre where everyone feels welcome and supported. Before coaching, I spent 20 years as a professional dancer, and that background shapes how I train people today, with a real focus on movement quality, control and building strength that carries into everyday life. I've been a personal trainer for four years, and whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or ready to take your training further, I'll build a plan around your goals and keep you on track every step of the way.
