ALEX JIMENEZ
Alex got into fitness and exercise in his teenage years as a hobby and decided to go through the Triton College personal training program. He graduated and transferred to Concordia University of Chicago in River Forest to pursue his B.A. in Exercise Science. Currently, Alex is attempting to further his educational background by taking on ACE's personal training certification, a Strength & Conditioning certification, as well as Starting Strength Method Coach certification. Even though he's still not complete with his school work, there is nothing stopping him from opening a fitness studio with Matt to help others with their fitness goals. With the experience he acquired up to this point, Alex is also competing in powerlifting meets and he can prepare you for those as well!
