"I have worked with Alex for a few years with the primary goals of building strength and increasing healthy physical behavior throughout the work day in order to prevent pain, poor posture, and overall negative effects that result from sitting much of the day. Overall, I am consistently impressed with Alex’s in-depth knowledge about body mechanics, nutrition, and best practices in his field. Alex is extremely conscientious and comes to sessions prepared with personalized plans and notes to help me achieve my fitness goals. His style of communication helps me to feel motivated and I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the purpose of each exercise, as well as how it can be modified in various ways so that I can engage in the exercises throughout my work day. Alex approaches each session with humor, knowledge, clear communication, and a non-judgmental stance. His flexibility is also impressive; for example, I have had a few sessions with my partner (who is much more knowledgeable about health and fitness than I am) and Alex has seamlessly created session plans that incorporate exercises that fit both of our needs (while simultaneously making the workout fun and positive). I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Alex’s knowledge, skill set, and positive and clear communication. I thoroughly enjoy working with Alex in both indoor and outdoor settings, and I would enthusiastically recommend him for folks with a variety of fitness goals."
