what clients are saying
“Before I started training with Alex my daily commute was a struggle. My knees were in such bad shape, I couldn’t get on and off the bus without pain. Over our 3-year relationship, I’ve lost 25 pounds, and regained mobility in my knees to the point where I can comfortably walk up and down stairs—and even enjoy a short hike with my husband again. Alex has been a constant source of support and encouragement. I’ve been really happy to have in my life, and I highly recommend him.”

“After starting the program in the darkest days of early pandemic isolation, Alex has been a lifesaver. The remote option has been flexible and fits easily into my work-from-home set up. After a serious lower-body injury, he tailored the program so I could continue making progress and avoid the temptation to descend into couch potato-dom. I look and feel stronger than ever — real results delivered through Alex’s steady guidance.”

“The numbers were not good before I started with Alex. My weight was increasing. My strength was, at best, stagnant. Working with Alex changed everything. I went from barely being able to do 10 push-ups to more than 40 in one shot. I can do all sorts of things I didn't even know humans were capable of, like a crow pose. And best of all, I feel so, so, much better. I really recommend working with Alex.”

"Everyone knows that exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health. But most people ignore one crucial component of it: resistance training. Neglecting resistance training – any type of workout that builds strength and muscle – is a big mistake. It increases your metabolism, lowers your body fat and protects you from some of the leading causes of early death and disability. You don’t have to lift like a bodybuilder (or look like one) to benefit from resistance training. And it’s never too late to get started."

reserve a session
The first session is 100% free of charge, with no strings attached.
Expect it to be about an hour long. We’ll chat about what you’re looking to get out of a training program, and do a short physical assessment — wear clothes you’re comfortable working out in. At the end of the session, we’ll talk about what a personalized program would look like for you.
It will be relaxed and fun!
