Get to know Alex
What did your fitness life look like before CrossFit/HYROX?
I played every sport I could when I was young, finally focusing on athletics and netball. I lost my fitness way a little as work took over and flitted between running and strength training in a rather unstructured way. I am grateful for Beyond Walls for bringing back discipline and consistency to my life.
What are your favourite sessions to coach?
I do love a workout with a barbell, helping members refine technique and realise how strong they are is so special. Our Saturday team workouts are also great fun, the energy in the room is unreal!
What is something members might not know about you?
I’ve had horses all my life and ridden for GB twice. When I found Beyond Walls I moved my horse to the yard across the road so I could spend more time at the gym and still ride!
What is your advice for nervous newbies?
You don’t need to be fit or even know what CrossFit and HYROX are to join us! What we do here is for everyone, step through the door and let us prove it to you.
What inspired you to coach?
I fell in love with the sport, the methodology, the culture and wanted to share it with more people. Coaching is my way of paying it forward.
What does a good day at Beyond Walls look like?
Every day is a good day. When you mix our community with workouts, laughs, hugs, coffee and snacks it’s impossible for days to be anything but good.
