MEET YOUR COACH

     As the youngest sibling in his family, Alex grew up with the desire to help others, a quality inherited from his parents who were both nurses. Eventually, Alex fell in love with science and considered pursuing the medical field. In 2008, he began exploring weight training, modern dance, and yoga. From there, his recreation became a passion. Now, Alex realizes that movement is the most accessible and natural means to prevent disease and promote happiness in our lives.

     With his Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology, he advanced his knowledge through his first yoga instructor training in San Francisco, and eventually passed the Certified Personal Trainer exam through the American College of Sports Medicine. He's been fortunate to share his expertise at many corporate gyms, major universities, and private studios. He particularly enjoys guiding working professionals, older adults, athletes, dancers, and people desiring a healthier life. One day, he looks forward to a lasting career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
