Alex’s fitness journey started in the pool as a kid. As a high level swimmer and waterpolo player, he became addicted to competition and training to compete. As a coach for the Ladner Stingrays swim team and head coach of the waterpolo team, Alex got his first taste of the joys of inspiring others to achieve their own personal goals. From there, Alex studied Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia and gained experience in rehab training at the senior and disability gym BodyWorks. Alex was certified as a personal trainer with ACSM, and has been building his philosophy of training and gaining experience at other gyms. He became a BCAK registered Kinesiologist, and was certified with Agatsu Kettlebells, TRX RIP, and Theraputic Fascial Mobility, and the Functional Movement Assessment, but after traveling to Arizona to take Fascial Stretch Therapy levels 1 and 2, things began to really take off. Alex believes in training full Fascial lines and not muscles, and includes rhythmic movements and power movements in any strength program to train tendons and fascia as well as muscles. Helping clients reach their goals, be they rehabilitation, weight loss, strength, muscle building, or sports performance is what keeps me passionate and motivated. I love the challenge of overcoming boundaries and I love expanding my tool belt to help clients with unique goals. For me the key to overcoming any goal is longevity. More important than a quick fix is the habits you form along the way. Whether that means learning to drink more water or eat right, keeping up with your prehab to avoid injuries, sticking to your program and not skipping workouts, or setting goals regularly to keep progressing and stay motivated, Alex can help you get there!
