Meet Alex – Strength Coach, Endurance Athlete & Motivator
Originally from California and now based in NYC, Alex brings high energy, deep knowledge, and a genuine love of movement to her coaching. After a 16-year soccer career that included playing at both Syracuse University and the University of Tampa (D1 & D2), Alex transitioned to distance running, completing the LA, NYC, and Philly marathons—and she’s just getting started.
She recently completed her master’s degree in Applied Exercise Physiology at Columbia University’s Teachers College, where she explored how science and movement intersect. Her coaching blends real-world experience with evidence-based strategies to help clients move with confidence and strength.
Alex’s passion for sport and coaching has taken her around the world—she earned a gold medal at the 2022 Maccabi Games in Israel, and has spent summers leading youth sports programs in California. She’s inspired by leaders like Nick Bare and Andrew Huberman, and lives by the motto:
“Go One More.”
Whether you’re building strength, recovering from injury, or chasing a big fitness goal, Alex meets you where you are—and helps you go further than you thought you could.
