He brings valuable experience from his previous roles as a strength and conditioning coach at WACO High School and Fairfield High School, along with five years of online training through his own fitness business. Currently, Alex also coaches athletes at MidPrairie High School.

Alex specializes in:

His journey into fitness began with a love for sports and continued into college, where a volunteer coaching role in his sophomore year sparked his lifelong commitment to the profession.

For Alex, the most rewarding part of being a coach is building meaningful relationships with clients and watching their progress week after week. As one client jokingly put it, “I hate you sometimes, but I know it’s working.”
