About
Graduate of East Carolina University
My focus is delivering a comprehensive product that is inherently satisfying. I appreciate my clients more than anything and that is evident in my training style.
In order to create a logical exercise program that is thorough and rewarding we start with a Functional Assessment.
Once we realize our limitations and analyze areas that need improvement the journey begins!
I am an expert in safely guiding people towards their fitness and wellness goals. I have thousands of hours of 1v1 experience. My specialty are clients that have a compromised musculoskeletal system but I enjoy working with all ages and all demographics.
From Parkinson's to Triathlete
From Elderly to Juvenile
From Strongman to deconditioned
I can help any and all populations become more functional, more resilient and most importantly STRONGER!

I highly recommend Alex for his professionalism, positivity, knowledge, and personalized method. My partner and I have been at-home training clients of his for over a year, and he really makes working out approachable to anyone. What sets him apart from other trainers we've tried is his focus on addressing root causes - incorporating mobility exercises that target the underlying reasons for weight plateaus, pain, body weakness, etc, tailoring workouts to your individual needs and goals. I especially appreciate the way he listens, remembers things, and encourages us to do our best in a way that works well for us.

Alex is so professional, considerate, and knowledgable. I went to see him for issues with back pain when exercising. Not only was he very attentive and considerate of this issue throughout our sessions, but he would consistently reach out a day or two after a session in order to check in with how I was feeling. If I was experiencing any back pain, he would send me a list of exercises that did wonders to alleviate the back pain. So kind, personable, and wonderful at his job--I would recommend anyone to work with him!

Alex has been my personal trainer for almost a year, and I've made so much progress!! I've lost 20 pounds, gained so much mobility and flexibility, and I'm lifting more than ever. I can personally highly recommend Alex!

I have worked with Alex for years now. I had been completely sedentary, but little by little, I got stronger. I like the way he varied the workouts. He also adjusted the sessions to my physical capabilities (I am nearly 75). Plus, he has a good sense of humor. I just had a knee replacement, so that--and the virus--has kept me from going back to Healthtrax. But I bought a very good package deal, so when I can, I will return.

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been interested in Public Health. While studying at the University I came to realize that there is a new epidemic that is sweeping the nation; People do not know how to move properly! With improper movement comes a host of problems. I realized early on that if you can help people to move properly and thus exercise properly, you can easily create a situation in which they learn to LOVE exercise.
