Simple Fitness has truly changed my life! I have learned so much about strength training and realistic healthy eating. I feel so confident with lifting and truly love going to the gym! Alex is so welcoming and a joy to be around! She helps you train hard at whatever level you’re at and helps you achieve your fitness goals. Highly recommend Simple Fitness!
I’m a 38-year-old mom of two (1.5 and 4.5 years old), and most of my days are spent at home or running errands. I hadn’t worked out in years—and had never lifted more than a 5 lb weight in my life. After watching my husband get a personal trainer in Richmond, lose a ton of weight, and completely transform his fitness, I finally decided it was my turn. I found Alex at Simple Fitness and, honestly, cried during our intake call about how I couldn’t seem to lose the baby weight no matter what I tried. I started training with her once a week in August, then joined her 9-week challenge where I began lifting weights 3–4 times a week. Within just a few sessions, I felt more optimistic than I had in years. A week or two into the challenge, I already felt like my best self again. I haven’t obsessed over the scale, but I’ve lost about 10 lbs in the last 2.5 months—without really changing my diet—just by adding strength training. I’m now the strongest I’ve ever been and can almost deadlift my body weight (which blows my mind!). Beyond the physical changes, I look better, feel happier, and actually love going to work out—even at 6 a.m. on a Monday! The environment at Simple Fitness is incredible—especially for women who might feel self-conscious at big gyms filled with hardcore lifters. This is a space for women who want to get stronger, feel better, and be surrounded by encouragement and community. It’s truly the only gym I’ve ever been to that feels like a family. Highly, highly recommend — 10/10! 💪❤️
Alex is incredible soul. She is knowledgeable, dedicated and a powerhouse. She embodies true balance as a personal trainer. She is your cheerleader and a team member in your support system. She is so encouraging with a flare of motivation. I came in with a lot of physical and emotional pains and her mere presence and how she showed up, gave me the strength to work out and take care of my body with grace and empowerment. We need more people like her in the world and certainly in the “gym” industry.
I just finished the 9-week transformation workout course with Alex at Simple Fitness, and it was awesome! I feel so much stronger and more confident in my workouts. I also learned a lot about nutrition and how to fuel my body the right way. The program was motivating, supportive, and really pushed me to do my best. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to make real, lasting changes!
Simple Fitness is awesome! Alex is a wonderful person who truly wants to help everyone who steps into the studio. I completed her 9 week program and learned a lot about nutrition and lifting weights. Before her program, weight lifting always felt intimidating but now feels empowering!
