Strength training is an effective way to increase muscle mass and maintain it as you age. This is important because muscle mass naturally declines as we age, leading to a host of issues such as reduced mobility, weakness, and decreased quality of life. By engaging in strength training, you can help to maintain and even increase your muscle mass, which can improve your physical function and overall health.

Live a longer life

Strength training can help to improve your cardiovascular health by strengthening your heart and improving your blood flow. This can help to reduce your risk of developing heart disease and other cardiovascular issues, which are leading causes of premature death.

Discover healthier living

Chronic inflammation is associated with a host of health issues, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. However, strength training can help to reduce inflammation, potentially extending lifespan and improving overall health.

Improve immune system

Strength training can also have positive effects on your immune function. By reducing inflammation and promoting the production of immune cells, strength training can help to enhance your immune function and reduce your risk of illness and disease.

What the people say

I have been training with Alex since the beginning of the year and I am thrilled with my progress so far! When we started, I had a nagging shoulder injury, couldn’t do a squat with good range of motion, and hadn’t gotten any stronger in over a year, despite going to the gym regularly. Now, my shoulder is stable and strong, I can squat past parallel with ease, and I get stronger every week! I had tried personal training in the past but didn’t stick with it because I didn’t feel like other trainers listened my goals or had the level of knowledge and attention to detail I was looking for. Alex took the time to understand my goals and has tailored my workouts accordingly while making sure that I am building the skills to stay healthy and strong for the long term! He is deeply knowledgeable with endless helpful tips to share and always something interesting to say about the latest health and fitness research. I look forward to every workout with Alex because of his positive, enthusiastic attitude and because I know I will leave feeling a sense of accomplishment – what more could I ask for!

Alex was highly recommended to me by a friend, and he did not disappoint! I trained with him for 6 weeks leading up to my wedding, and I felt so strong and confident in my very unforgiving dress. He does a fantastic job of motivating you to reach your potential, while also encouraging you to listen to your body and only do what feels safe. He knows what he is doing, so although I went from never lifting more than a 10lb dumbbell to squatting over 100lbs in 6 weeks, I never felt any sort of discomfort. If you are new to weight training or have been away from it for a while, Alex is a fantastic choice!

A colleague recommended Alex, and I trained with him for 4 months. He was welcoming and focused on safety, and he celebrated my PR’s along side me. He takes a lot of pride in what he does, and that is why I would recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive trainer!

Alex was very patient and understanding to my fitness journey. He provided me with the skills I needed to feel comfortable in the gym and to continue even after I was done with his program. He was always positive and provided great encouragement. Thanks for guiding me towards my goal of living a healthier lifestyle !
