"I started working with Alex a few days after my resurfacing in June 2024. He educated me on what to expect in the upcoming months and was absolutely spot on. His professionalism and attention to detail is second to none.

When rehabbing with Alex, you know he's completely on your team and listens to feedback, thoughts and concerns. There is a purpose in every single rep during your rehab phase and he will push you to your healthy limits. Honestly, I'm not sure where I would be in my career without Alex's guidance and hard work!" - Max Stassi

"Working with Alex virtually was a game-changer in my recovery from double hip replacement surgery.

His expertise in movement mechanics, personalized programming, and ability to adapt my rehab plan in real time made all the difference. Despite the distance, Alex provided the accountability, guidance, and support I needed to rebuild my strength, mobility, and confidence.

Through virtual sessions, I was able to progress at my own pace while still being challenged, ensuring that every movement had purpose. His approach helped me push past limitations, trust my body again, and ultimately reclaim my athleticism." - Erik T Edwards
