Alex is the real deal. I have been training with Alex for one month so far and let me tell you, he is an amazing trainer. All of my workouts have been great, tailored to me, and combine weight training, cardio, boxing, and more. In one month I have lost weight, feel stronger, and have more energy. He is professional, and he will work with you to achieve your goals. He will also take time to address your diet and lifestyle, which I appreciate. I HIGHLY recommend Alex!

I’ve been training with Alex for a year and a half now and my results have been excellent. I’ve lost 25+ lbs and transformed my body shape and fitness level with his expert guidance. Alex has taught me a tremendous about fitness and training across many different disciplines including powerlifting, body weight exercises, sprinting, distance running, pliometrics, martial arts, and much more. He always pushes me to perform at my best, hit new PRs, and use good technique; at the same time, he is conscientious about avoiding industry and makes sessions a lot of fun. Alex is an excellent coach, highly professional, punctual, responsive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to take charge of their fitness!

Alex means a full life style change for me and my husband.
We started working with Alex since September 2019 and he set up individual goals for us to achieve. Those goals not only included physical exercising but adopting a healthier lifestyle.
Alex designed and implemented a personalized plan that adapted to each of our needs, body types and goals.
We are extremely glad to work with Alex as we have seen the changes: - weight lost (20lbs lost not counting the muscle weight gain) - gained muscle - working our independently as part of the a healthier lifestyle choice - receiving lots of compliments :) - eating better and drinking less alcohol
I have never exercised in my life and he was able to adjust accordingly, additionally after an injury outside of the exercise happened he changed up the trainings to accommodate me.
Finally, he has a great attitude and will totally recommend him :-)

Alex is an outstanding trainer, he brings a lot of different skills to each session, mixing resistance training, weight lifting, martial arts, so that a full body workout is achieved. He complements this with nutritional advice. He’s on time and focused on your goals, following up between sessions on your progress. Great attitude, you won’t find a better trainer to take you to the next level regardless of your current conditioning.

I hired Alex to get in shape for my wedding and been training with him for 2 months now, and I see outstanding results. Alex is very dedicated, always on time, very friendly and supportive and always keep track of my progress. Each time he pushes me to my maximum, even on a bad day when I feel tired or down, and that’s exactly what I expected from a personaltrainer. I am planning to continue training for a whole year with Alex, and I really recommend who is serious about getting in shape to hire Alex.
