Hey there, I’m Lexa—Lex for short!

My mission is simple: to help you build trust in your body, gain confidence in movement, and create the fitness lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

I’m a Board-Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). I got my start at Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in Athletic Training and I’ve been learning and growing ever since.

I’ve had the privilege of working in many different settings: from high school and college sports teams to professional arenas, and even outpatient physical therapy clinics. Each experience taught me something invaluable about how our bodies work, how to prevent injuries, and most importantly how to help people feel empowered in their movement.

And while I love working with athletes, my heart belongs to what I call “lifestyle athletes,” everyday people who want to feel good, get strong, and live life without pain or fear holding them back. Whether that’s picking up your kid without discomfort or walking into the gym without second-guessing yourself, I’m here for all of it.

Progress isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up, learning, and celebrating the small wins along the way. As your coach, I’ll be more than just a trainer. I’ll be your guide, your cheerleader, and your partner in this process. Together, we’ll build a foundation of strength and confidence that will stick with you for life.

Hear From Our Clients

  • I first heard about Coach Lex when I was looking to do a complete overhaul on my fitness regime. I was down on myself from postpartum weight gain, doing home workouts that weren’t yielding results. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t know where to start as a beginner who had never step foot in a gym. I met with Coach Lex for my initial consult, and she made me feel like my goals were attainable. Lex eased my fears and made me feel at home in the gym. She met me at my level and created a plan that worked for me and my schedule. We started in person a few times a week with homework sessions, and before I knew it, I was exploring the gym with confidence and noticing gains. I’ve gone down clothing sizes and can operate gym equipment on my own. I’m 6 months in, and I’ve gotten my self-confidence back. I can’t wait to see what the future holds! Thank you, Coach Lex!!

  • Where to start? Lexa has been my coach for over a year now, and that's simply because I absolutely cannot quit her! Having been self-taught for almost a decade, I finally worked up the courage to hire a strength coach. Lexa was recommended to me, and from our first consult, it was immediately apparent that Lexa had both the competency of an experienced fitness coach and the sincerity of an active-listener. From the very beginning, I've always felt like Lexa genuinely hears me, and that's evidenced by how consistently she responds to my needs with honest and thoughtful feedback.

  • Since then, Lexa has helped me achieve significant PRs for all of my lifts - both novel and well-known - all while guiding me through physical recovery from major surgery and adapting to my body's changes in response to fluctuating hormones. Most importantly, Lexa remains cognizant of vulnerabilities or restrictions when developing programs and while coaching, and yet, she provides countless opportunities to safely explore those areas. For example, when I started with Lexa, any type of lunge movement was unavailable to me due to knee pain. Now, I enjoy the challenge of lunges and lunge variants, having successfully overcome any historical knee pain with stability, strength, and power. However, her sensitivity to an individual's limitations extends beyond physical fitness, and Lexa has proven herself to be a fierce proponent of self-acceptance and self-compassion.

    Virginia K. (Part 2)

  • Despite being steeped in a culture that has traditionally emphasized a very narrow definition of acceptable body-composition or physique, Lexa teaches the importance of a healthy, balanced foundation - both physiologically and psychologically - for any fitness regime. She consistently strives to help her clients discover their own balance between challenging and respecting their current limitations, and she celebrates all their victories, no matter how big or small. Ultimately, words fail to adequately capture how phenomenal Lexa is as both a fitness coach and a fellow human-being. If anything, the socially-awkward, gender-queer, fitness-geek author of this testimony encourages you to work up the courage to reach out to Lexa if you'd like to meet a fantastic fitness coach!

    Virginia K. (Part 3)

  • Lexa, is my GO-TO when it comes to functional strength training! Doesn't matter if it's rehabilitation from an injury or trying to peak at a new PR. She's had me covered in both endeavors. In two short programs I hit all new PRs, lifting my old squat numbers belt-less because we built up my core and back to be much more stable, added 35lbs to my bench when I had been stuck at those numbers for years. She's as legit as a trainer can be, Sour Patch will get you right as long as you trust the process!

    Fernando G.

  • My fitness journey was helped immensely by Lexa. Before working with her, my workouts were irregular and lacked direction. From our first consultation, she listened to what I wanted and tailored our sessions to fit my needs. She always seemed to know the perfect time to progress exercises or increase weight, helping me build confidence and get noticeably stronger. I was nervous to work with a trainer, but by the end of the first session, I knew I made the right choice. She’s kind, professional, and always made sure movements didn’t aggravate my low back. If something didn’t feel right, we’d re-evaluate. No pressure. Lexa is incredibly knowledgeable, pays close attention to form, and genuinely cares. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer!

    Christian S.

  • Having Lexa as a trainer has drastically improved my fitness journey. Whats great about her is she isn’t a one size fits all trainer. She tailors your program to best suit you and with timely check ins, she tweaks the program even more to even better suit your workout plan. Whether you’re a beginner or already knowledgeable in the gym, you can always learn something new from her

    Miguel P.

  • Lexa was the fitness fairy godmother I never knew I needed! After having my daughter and relocating, my gym routine had turned into a distant memory. But as my love for outdoor escapades grew, so did my desire to be in better shape. Lexa waved her magic wand and created a customized fitness plan that not only got me back into the gym but also improved my quality of life. She's the perfect blend of tough love and adaptability!

    Katie K.

  • Lexa has absolutely changed my life for the better! Her workouts have given me more self confidence and increased myself worth. She is always there to answer questions and has been there for me even in non-fitness chats. She is supportive of all of my goals and is very supportive of helping you through the rough patches! I highly suggest Lexa and am excited for anyone who becomes her client!
