Alexander Couturier
ISSA Certified Personal Trainer

Welcome

 If you're motivated to get healthier and stronger, you've come to the right place. Transformations are no simple process, but with the right guidance and structure, it can easily be broken down into digestible chunks that leave success within everyone's reach.

As an ISSA-certified fitness professional and Sports Nutrition Specialist, I can help you set realistic goals and transform your health and your life for the better. My goal is not to design cookie cutter programs or slap you with generic fad and starvation diets in hopes of making you stick to the program, my goal is to make the program work for you. You should enjoy your transformation, as it's a deeply enriching experience where you get to fully understand yourself and how you tick. The skills you learn in health and physical fitness translate into your everyday life and career. Learning consistency and dedication is key to anything that we strive to be better at. 

 

After my Naval service ended I lost direction, and with that, I lost control of my health. At almost 260 lbs I decided that I was tired of what I was seeing in the mirror and that if I kept on the track I was headed I was bound to end up wrought with pain and disease from my sedentary life and heavily processed diet. I was in pain nearly every day, whether it was physically jarring lower back pain, deep muscle knots and cramping in my upper back and neck,  or it was sleepless nights and exacerbated mood swings and anxiety. 

As I cleaned up my nutrition and regained activity, I slowly realized that almost, if not all, of my issues, were of my own doing. I wasn't plagued by some underlying condition, or doomed to a life of medicine cocktails and pain shots, I simply just wasn't taking care of myself. Within a few months, I had begun altering my lifestyle and seeing the results I had wanted to see, albeit it slowly at first. Without guidance, the experience left me to my own devices to experience different fad diets and training methods to varying levels of success and failure. With guidance, however, the mountains I had moved to get where I am today would not have taken as long, and I wouldn't have experienced the pitfalls along the way that I did.

Not only do I have the education to help guide you through your health and fitness journey, I have the experience, dedication, and follow through to provide you with the individualized tools that you need to be successful. It's not about walking the same path as someone before you, it's about using their wisdom from navigating an unknown path to make your journey more enjoyable and easier.
