I started working with Alex 3 months ago to get in shape for my wedding, after gaining about 20 lbs over the last 2 years. Alex was honest with me about how difficult my goal would be to reach in such a short timeframe, which I really appreciated. He’s extremely professional, knows his stuff and is also realistic about goals and expectations. I’ve gotten stronger, lost weight and become more confident thanks to Alex. He is the best!

I have been following Apex and Alex since 2019. In May I have finally decided to approach him and ask him if he can help me with my weight issue. I am an active BJJ practitioner and I was struggling to make weight for a comp. 115kg (253lb) was the weight I needed to reach. The only problem I had is that I was 133kg (293lbs), meaning that I had to lose 17kg (37lbs). Alex told me that I doen't matter what I do, I would need to fix my diet and stay on top of my Macros. "I don't care what you eat, as long as you don't go above the number of Macros and Calories that I have set" that what Alex told me. "But if you eat fast food and one meal it's going to take all of your Macros, that's your only meal for the day, so what do you choose? One fast food meal or 3 home made meals?". I decided to pick the second option and always tried to be on point with the Macros he had set. It was hard the first two weeks, but after that I got used to it. On top of that, Alex made a custom work out just for me in order to keep as much strenght as I could for BJJ. The workouts were tailor made in such a way, that I have also managed to fix some shoulder issues that I've had (Alex knew when I have joined APEX about my health issues). The rehab went great. Also helpened me rehab while I was recovering from a severe leg injury that stopped me from training properly for almost 2 months. Long story short, it's October (5 months and 3 weeks since I have started) and in all this time with an injury, APEX (Alex) helped me lose 21kg (46lbs) and kept me in the best shape ever, me currently being 112.3kg (247lbs). I am extremely happy with the decision I've made to join APEX and couldn't recommend them enough. 100kg here I come 😉

After years of attempting to work out on my own and trying to find what works for me, I found Alex of APEX Performance and started working with him in the spring of 2018. After only a few weeks of working with him, I knew I had found my personal trainer for life! Alex has helped me to dramatically transform my overall strength, fitness, and performance over the last 3 years, and I'm in the best shape of my life in my 40s. Alex's attention to detail and precision with his clients is second to none, and he treats every client's goals and desires as his own. If you're looking for results in the gym you've never had before, or you're just ready to take your fitness goals to a new level, I highly recommend Alex of APEX!

Alex is an exceptional transformation master! Alex has been my coach for years and he’s by far the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. The fact I’ve stuck with it says a lot! His ability to articulate the partnership between fitness and nutrition really helped me understand how the body works and establish a healthier sustainable relationship with exercise and food. Every client is a unique individual and he listens to YOUR goals. His commitment goes way beyond the gym and Alex will be your support and cheerleader 110%. Plus his great personality makes for a fun journey. If you follow his guidance you will get results.

John Zastrow

Alex has been my health engineer for three years and I couldn't be happier. It began with Alex guiding me through a transformation that has allowed me to maintain my fitness goals after years of start/stop training. Alex combines a passion for health with deep, formal, and constant learning in nutrition and exercise - he lives for this and is not just teaching from the booklet. His experience and desire for you to efficiently (not quickly) achieve gains means you get sustainable health versus a "gym membership". I've made lots of mistakes along the way, including injuries, and Alex's firm, yet understanding approach has kept me going without stopping. Try it, you'll like it! You need it!

Melissa Olander

Working with Alex is not only motivating and fun, but he really knows how to dial into your goals when programming your workouts. He will take the extra time to check in with you when you’re not in session with him, which is great if you like accountability and also shows he genuinely cares about your success inside and outside the gym. A professional who really knows his stuff!

Godis Good

Alex has incredible knowledge and expertise that puts him at an elite level of personal trainers. APEX Performance wildly surpasses every single trainer I’ve had at other gym locations. His certifications and knowledge mixed with his active listening skills lead him to be someone you can trust to care about your needs while delivering serious results. He proactively reacts to changes or stress in your life as well as body changes or pain, and adapts plans to accommodate you; all this is done while still maintaining constant progress. He is personable, funny, and a brilliant personal trainer.

Alex is super professional with good sense of humor. I am a runner and have been training with him almost three years. During this last three years, I shaved my full marathon time by over 30 minutes and got me qualified to Boston Marathon even after my serious injury. Not only physical training, he showed how to fuel, how to recover, how to prepare for my big events. His knowledge is vast and detailed. His advice and direction lead great result because he knows what is efficient for you. I higly recommend his fitness practice no matter what your goal is.

Feliks Cobanovic

For years, Ive been working out on my own and have injured myself more times than I can remember due to the bad habits and poor form ive gotten used to over the years. Id get bored of the same old training routines and doing the same things over and over again with minimal results. I decided to seek Alex's help because I wanted to switch things up and have professional guidance and expert advice along the way. He explains things in a way that make more sense to me and make me look forward to putting in the effort required to achieve the desired results. Using his apps to track my caloric intake as well as my progress in the gym has helped me with reaching my goals and provided me with the accountability I was lacking. Working with APEX Performance has been a game changer for me because of the level of expertise Alex brings to the table. He works around my injuries and checks in consistently to see how things are going and if any adjustments are needed. Now, I look forward to my workouts and to pushing myself during my workouts. Not only do i SEE the results of the effort i put in but i also FEEL them and it has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. Alex at APEX Performance is a one-stop-shop for all your nutrition and fitness needs and you will see the results you're after just as I and countless others have too! Thank you, Alex!

Emma Fletcher

I ran my first marathon training on my own. I just finished my second marathon after training with Alex at APEX and shaved over a half hour off my first time less than six months prior. This was the kickstart in learning and growth I needed to build a more sustainable approach to being faster, fitter, and happier for the rest of my life. I couldn't have imagined a more caring, involved, and dedicated coach in my endeavors.

Paula Benard

I found Alex after suffering from persistent pain related to a hamstring injury. I was in and out of physical therapy for well over a year with no relief or resolution of my pain. Within a month my pain was gone and now 2 years later I remain pain free. His attention to detail when teaching proper body mechanics and strength training is second to none. I also worked with Alex on a nutritional plan to help me combat some weight gain and redistribution related to turning 50. I learned very simple and sustainable ways to maintain my goal weight without sacrificing many of the foods I love. I cannot speak highly enough as he is one of the most knowledgeable and motivating people I have met in the industry.

Brandy Martin

Working out with Alex at Apex Performance has been and continues to be a great experience. Alex works with you to reach your goal in a sustainable way so that your goal can be maintained over the long haul. I have been on that crash diet train for a long time and now feel confident that I can finally sustain my desired goals. Follow his program to a T and have patience — it works! You won't regret it!

Jordan O'Brien

Alex is a phenomenal fitness & nutrition coach! He has the experience, and all of the knowledge to help you from whatever your starting position is. He will not just tell you something, he will explain to you why, and all of the reasons why and how they impact your body to help give you the best understanding on how to move forward. He will also tell it like it is, he will not lie to you and tell you that things are going well if they aren’t. If you want great results, and a great friend... Alex @Apex Performance is your man! 💪🏼🏁

Jacques deVillier

Alex started working with me five months ago. My goal was to “get out of pain”. Alex has worked everyday to help me reach that goal and has been sensitive to my lack of mobility and health issues. This “truly” has been the single best investment in my health I’ve ever made and it wouldn’t have been possible without Alex and his outstanding skills as a personal trainer. Outstanding and thank you.

Mark Hammond

I have worked with Alex over the past couple of years. I have struggled with back problems for many years due to spinal stenosis. My previous experiences at the gym since my college days were inconsistent as I typically would get started and would hurt myself. This caused me not to go back. When Alex and I talked about goals I indicated that i wanted to improve my fitness, my golf game, my squash game and didn’t want to get hurt. Alex is knowledgeable about how the body works. My body has been a challenge, when I have hurt myself outside of the gym he knew what I needed to do to get things working again. It used to be I that I didn’t go to the gym because something was hurting. When that happens now Alex comes up with something that helps. With Alex’s help I am staying functional, getting stronger, more fit as well.

Marcia Travers

Alex is the best personal trainer. He really knows how to motivate you and push you to do your best. He creates an individual plan for you of exercise and diet and if you follow it you WILL get great results! He’s hilarious and makes the workout fun.

Benny Adegbuyi

My name is Benjamin Adegbuyi. I am the nr. 2 ranked fighter in the Glory Kickboxing Heavyweight Division. Training and conditioning means everything to me and I prepare for each fight with everything I have. As you could guess, until started working Alex and Florin I worked with lots of trainers, from ex professional athletes to regular personal trainers but nothing compares to what we have achieved as a team in the last year. It has completely changed my perspective about what strength, conditioning, power and physical development is. • I am stronger, I actually feel it too now. • I look better and feel more confident. • My speed and reaction time has significantly improved. • My muscle endurance has never been this good. • As a bonus, my nagging back and knees stopped hurting altogether. My wife is happy that I don't complain anymore. I also appreciate how much Alex and Florin communicate with me outside of the gym time. They take time out of their day to call and talk t

Calin Cosmin

Regardless what your fitness levels are Alex will guide you and coach to success. He is the most knowledgeable coach I have ever met in this field, with a lot of empathy and very polite as well. Do yourself a favor and book a session if you really want to change.

Brian Hemingway

While suffering some knee pain Alex was able to teach me proper mechanics to build strength and improve mobility. Alex has so much knowledge and enthusiasm for what he does the workouts are always enjoyable. Thanks for everything Alex!!

Alex Degmetich

Alex is perfect for this career. He is encouraging, helpful, and is extremely knowledgeable in his craft. There isn't one person who has worked with him that didn't see results. Get in there and get the best body you have ever had.

Hum Dizzle

Alex is a phenomenal health coach/trainer...his wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with his easy going communication style make him an excellent choice for beginners and advanced alike.

Gabriel Necula

I am an hobbyist BJJ Brown Belt athlete and have been working with Alex @ APEX Performance for the past couple of months, coming fresh off a lumbar microdiscectomy at the L5-S1 level that kept me paralyzed in bed for one month and off from sports for the better part of 2 years. Objectives were high, despite the condition of my back. my goals were to get back fully to strength training as well as being able to hit the mats again and be able to spar with intensity. all while improving my body composition to achieve a leaner and more athletic physique. Due to Alex's huge knowledge on exercise, movement, nutrition, programming, injury recovery and general evidence-based approach, I have been making constant and relentless progress towards all of my goals. I can now say I have lost 6 kg s of body fat, consistently and without hunger/performance loss or dropping food categories, fixed my blood pressure issues, I am hitting strength training again, being able to load movements such as the front squat and the deadlift with weight and hitting the mats again at Jiu Jitsu all without pain, activities that most therapists would have thought I wouldn't be able to do again. I am very enthusiastic about working with Alex @ APEX Performance moving forward and aiming to increase my strength and conditioning to levels better than pre-injury and reach my all time best.

Alex thought me how to be focused on my work out in order to reach my goals. I loved it because now everything is part of my daily routine. Thank you 😊 …
