For years I neglected one important aspect of my life, my health and well being. For years i bought into fitness and health fads that took me nowhere. Then I met Alex Kennedy. His knowledge of the human body is astounding. With his help I have dropped close to 40 pounds and counting. His non-sense approach to health and fitness has turned my life around. I have never been happier. I feel anyone that works with Alex will have lifetime results. I owe him more gratitude than he will ever know.

I started strength training with Alex almost two years ago. I have always been in good shape and as a long distance runner I felt I was strong and could endure anything. However, I broke my leg two weeks after running my fifth half-marathon and learned that maybe I was not as strong as I thought. Recovery was quick and at 129 lbs I started training with Alex. Now almost two years later and at 156 lbs, I am strong and building every day. Alex knows what he is doing and I am proof of that. I am squatting 185 lbs, can dead lift 215 lbs and bench 145 lbs. I have set goals for lifting and it has been fun reaching those goals in a smart and intelligent way. The only downside is that I have outgrown most of my clothes. Working with Alex is a true study in strength training and conditioning. I recommend him to anyone wanting to build a stronger and better you!

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.

When I first approached Alex Kennedy about training me I hadn’t been to a gym regularly in maybe 15 years. I was active so not totally out of shape but not really close to where I wanted to be either and I didn’t know what I needed to do to get there. Like many people, I’d had some exposure to a weight room in high school and college and again in the Army. I’d seen the infomercial for P90X, even tried it out, but never got the results I wanted. Turns out, a lot of things I learned in the past weren’t really the best way to go about getting strong or lean.
Alex advised me that before I could move on to other goals, like looking good naked and performing other outdoor activities better, I first needed to get stronger. Muscle does some pretty cool things like increasing your metabolism and improving force production. I listened to what he said, took in all his advice and worked hard. My squat went from an embarrassing 95 lbs to 350 lbs. I can bench 225 lbs, press more than 135 lbs and deadlift over 400 lbs. This didn’t happen overnight, but with hard work and excellent coaching from Alex I’ve come a long way. I found out that I really loved getting strong and it’s become a passion of mine. Now, I’m regularly competing in powerlifting competitions, hiking and backpacking has become easier and hence more joyous and I am indeed losing inches off my waist while putting on inches across my shoulders.

Alex is a pleasure to work with. He’s a great coach and trainer. If you’re looking to get stronger, perform better or just get fit, I would highly recommend training with him.
