Alex comes to Cumming Strength & Fitness with almost a decade in the health and fitness field. He started CrossFit as a senior in high school (along with several other sports, i.e. football, basketball, track & field, weightlifting, etc.) and has been doing CrossFit ever since. He graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science and Dallas Theological Seminary with a Master’s in Christian Leadership.
During his time in college, he founded and directed the CrossFit University Affiliate at Liberty University, where he started with 3 members and grew it to over 100 in less than 3 years. Additionally, he programmed 2 CrossFit competitions during his time at Liberty University as well.
Since then, he has coached thousands of athletes over his 10+ years of coaching, competed in several CrossFit competitions, but ultimately finds joy in helping people become the healthiest version of themselves: physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally & spiritually.
