Alex Trickel

In training with Mrs. Trickel for the past few years, I've been helped in changing the way i exercise and the way I've changed the way of eating. She has helped me in losing 140 lbs in our time together. If it wasn't for her i wouldn't have been the best version of myself today. :) More...

I've been working with Alex for over a year now. I'm 48, and despite trying my own routines, joining gyms, and even working with a trainer live in a gym, this is the first time I've been able to stick with a consistent workout. It's also one of the only times I've been able to make a significant, and so far consistent, change in my diet and see those results.

I've been working with Alex for over a year now. I'm 48, and despite trying my own routines, joining gyms, and even working with a trainer live in a gym this is the first time I've been able to stick with a consistent workout. It's also one of the only times I've been able to make a significant, and so far consistent, change in my diet and see those results.

We do two live sessions per week and I do two that Alex sets up for me in the app. We also talk about nutrition and diet and how that relates to exercise and how to use the two together to get results. The app Alex uses is great - it narrates the workout and makes it easy to record. Knowing someone else is watching and tracking my workout and that we’ll talk about it next session has kept me consistent. I’ve definitely noticed changes in my body and people have noticed and commented. I’ve noticed a positive change in my mental health as well. Knowing more about how food affects my body and my workouts has helped me make better choices about what I eat.

I’ve appreciated how Alex is flexible and creative with the workouts. She uses what I have available to me and has recommended some minimal equipment when I haven’t had it. She’s been able to change workouts when I have access to a gym, or tailor workouts when I’ve been off camping and hiking. We started with simple movements and lower weights or body weight, and I’m now maxing out my weights on some moves, which feels amazing. She’s slowly, successfully nudged me into doing more than I thought I’d be able to. She’s laid back and keeps the in-person workouts both challenging and fun. I look forward to each one. More...

I've been working with Alex for a decade and have never considered stopping. She's informed! She's motivating! She's inspiring! It is clear that Alex is thoughtful when structuring my personal plans (for fitness, food and overall health). And maybe most importantly, she listens, she really listens to what I need at any given moment. We make plans together for my goals and I appreciate her willingness to listen and encourage me. Truly this carries over into many aspects of my life beyond physical fitness. Specifically related to fitness and health, we talk a lot about the reasons why I have the goals I have, we talk about how they can change. I love love love the specified workouts and the commitment to discussing overall health. 10 stars at least! More...

Alex is everything I could ask for in a trainer. I have a significant limitation with one of my feet and she finds creative ways to work around the limitation and continuously makes me feel challenged and engaged. Working with Alex has also helped me build strength and learn stretches to significantly reduce the impact that the foot injury has had on my everyday life. She has even made stretching videos and sent them to me on the spot when I have texted her about pain or discomfort. The stretching and strength has been so much better than physical therapy, and the personalization has helped me avoid injury and feel better about myself. When we don’t work out in person, she uses a cool app that includes videos and timers to let me work out on my own. Most importantly, she helped me develop an awesome back that I got to show off in my wedding dress! More...

Working with Alex has been a great learning experience beyond exercise and nutrition. She has taught me how my body works as a complete system. Alex teaches me about my body and how to target areas to stretch and strengthen it. Training with her has made me accountable and to show up. She's helped me have a better relationship with food without shame and judgement. We have been working together for 3 years and counting. I plan to train with her for years to come. More...
