I started training with Alex when I was 33 years old. I’d trained for years, but never with a trainer, and never in the Olympic lifts. In a year with Alex, I added 100 pounds to my squat and deadlift, made better progress in my other lifts than ever before, and even got decent at cleaning and snatching. I’ve never had results like that, even when I was much younger. At 34, I’m stronger, better conditioned, and more flexible than I’ve ever been. Alex’s knowledge and technical proficiency are beyond question, but more impressive are his abilities to communicate clearly and translate his knowledge into tangible improvement for the trainee. I’ve seen Alex working with clients from advanced lifters to total novices. He gives everyone the same respect and attention. I highly recommend Alex to anyone serious about getting stronger and having fun doing it.
