Alex graduated from Radford University in 1997 with a B.S. in Exercise Science. At Radford she was a collegiate scholarship athlete and exercise enthusiast. After college Alex worked in the private sector as a Fitness Director and Personal Trainer. Her clientele included children, mothers, professional athletes and the elderly.
Alex’s qualifications include Yoga Fit Level 1, AFAA Mat Science, and Martial Arts with Master Beasley, Reebok Cycling, AFAA Perinatal Fitness, STOTT Pilates Reformer training, Spin Pilates Reformer trained. After years of strength training she gravitated towards the mental inclusion and flow of yoga, Pilates and tai chi and discovered a leaner body type while maintaining her strength. This lead to the creation of Pitaiyo as a fusion of her intense athletic background, her passion and patience in working with elders and children and her knowledge in the need for calm in the fitness industry.
Pitaiyo emphasizes, as Alex does, the power of the mind body connection, her classes are powerful and motivating. Alex’s goal is to train as many people as possible in the Pitaiyo method – so they too can touch and improve the lives of many.
