  1. We present an elementary proof of a well-known theorem of Cheeger which states that if a metric-measure space \(X\) supports a \(p\)-Poincaré inequality, then the \(N^{1,p}(X)\) Sobolev space is reflexive and separable whenever \(p\in (1,\infty)\). We also prove separability of the space when \(p=1\). Our proof is based on a straightforward construction of an equivalent norm on \(N^{1,p}(X)\), \(p\in [1,\infty)\), that is uniformly convex when \(p\in (1,\infty)\). Finally, we explicitly construct a functional that is pointwise comparable to the minimal \(p\)-weak upper gradient, when \(p\in (1,\infty)\).
