Diana Wollman, Partner, Cleary Gottlieb

If you want a trainer who plays close attention to what your goals and aspirations are and fully devotes himself to helping you achieve them - then you will love Alex. Alex has taught me so much about how to use the body effectively and has helped me accomplish things i would never have thought possible.


Training with Alex has changed my life. Even after all of these years together, Alex still amazes me with his incredible knowledge, creativity and coaching skills. Simply put, Alex is fantasti

Aileen Dresner, Career and Executive Coach

Alex is an extraordinarily talented trainer and motivator who encourages, supports, and inspires clients while helping them achieve their goals.


I began working with Alex in 2016 at a time when I was feeling out of shape, lacking energy, and wanting to turn my health and mindset around. Alex's relentlessly positive outlook teamed with his expert knowledge got me on the right track and believing in myself. Four years later, I continue to work with Alex and I am stronger and more fit than I have ever been in my life.


Alex's optimism and expertise are a winning combination and I highly recommend him to anyone out there looking to make a positive change in their life.

Jeffrey Jones, Partner, KPMG

I started working with Alex in 2011. I have stayed with him for the past 9 years because he has so effectively mixed things  up so that I never get bored.


Alex has challanged me and motivated me to do more than I thought I could all while working around my aches and pains.


I find myself - in my mid 50s - in the best shape of my life.

David Willner, Restaurant Executive

When Alex Demers first got ahold of me, I was overweight and unmotivated. Going to the gym was not my idea of a fun time, so I just never did it. My nutrition was terrible, and my work-life balance was completely out of whack - I simple wasn't taking care of myself. I cautiously decided to give Alex a try after he was recommended to me for his approachable but extremely knowledgeable take on fitness. And then the strangest thing happened - Alex changed my life.


Alex has the uncanny ability to motivate with out guilt trips. To teach with out lecturing. To inspire with out judgements. His passion for fitness and nutrition is so contagious that without even realizing it, I became passionate about them as well.


Alex developed a custom program that was right for me and my levels of fitness and strength. These programs were as fun as they were challenging. His enthusiasm and joy when I succeeded were just as palpable as his support and encouragement when I faltered. Slowly, but surely, I wanted to become even more physically fit and active. I wanted to push my boundaries and then create new boundaries so I could push those as well. I wanted to make Alex proud.


The person that started training years ago with Alex doesn't exist anymore. Ive' lost over 40lbs of fat, and more importantly, I have learned the art of having a healthy lifestyle. I have anew found confidence in myself. I truly feel that I owe all of this to Alex.


I give Alex Demers my enthusiastic recommendation, and I thank him for everything he continues to do for me each day.


Heather Lamster, Assistant Buyer, Bloomingdales

I began working with Alex in 2016 after observing him training another resident in my apartment building. What intrigued me was that each and every session was a combination of different sets of exercises - no session was repetitive.


I was more impressed after our initial consultation as he asked me very poignant questions "what are your goals?" & "what do you want to accmplish through strength training?"


Alex's  philosophy and approach  really is "personal" training - tailored to each client whether it's weight loss, body sculpting, or movement perfrmance.


2019 marked the completion of my 6th NYC marathon over a 9 year span battling thru herniated discs and a broken foot. But, with Alex's help, each marathon finish ended in a personal record!


Neil Semer, Voice Teacher

Alex is a terrifc trainer. He has an exhaustive knowledge of the body and is fun to work with. I'm stronger, more flexible, and feel younger due to my work with him.

Trisha Lawton, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker, Corcoran Group

Alex is one of the best personal trainers Iv'e had the pleasure of working with! He's always crafting workouts that are challenging yet attainable, while remaining mindful of my specific fitness goals.


Whether training to improve overall fitness or to take on a new personal challenge, Alex is always there to provide the support, knowledge, and guidance to make that goal a reality.

Dr. Christopher Coad, MD, Surgical Director of Eye Care Chelsea Eye Ophthalmology

What stands out most to me is Alex's professionalism ans his ability to connect with his clients. With my busy schedule working with patients, Alex is able to keep me on track so that I can continue to what I love.


After working with Alex for years, I give him a resounding endorsement.

Liz Leavitt, Global Sourcing Specialist

I have used Alex as my personal trainer for over 4 years. He is very knowledgeable and caters his workouts to my specific needs. 


He is not cookie cutter and designs a workout specific to each individual. He listens to his clients what they want to achieve. 


When I hurt my back and I was nervous working out he gave me exercises to strengthen it and make it stronger. It is great to work with someone that knows the human body. 


He is super flexible as my schedule varies and he rearranges his time to meet mine. 


Everyone should have an Alex in their life. 

Jessica Kerns, MD.

After working with Alex for 2 years, I was both very happy with the results and the training experience itself. The sessions combine strength training and cardio intervals along with great feedback and encouragement.


I am always challanged by Alex's workouts, but at the same time he is very conscientious about adjusting the routine for any injuries or medical issues.


Alex is certified to work with pre/post natal clients and it has been great training with him through out my first pregnanacy. I feel fit, healthy, and energetic.


Iv'e been very impressed by his breadth of knowdledge on training safely during pregnancy. I feel confident knowing I have Alex in my corner to help me lose the pregnancy weight and stay healthy for my baby.

Matthew LaFargue

Alex has certainly lived up to what I was expecting and more. Alex is attentive, interested in your wellbeing, caring, and understands that the key to success in training is that both parties are vested in this partnership.


One thing that I feel sets Alex apart from many other trainers is his punctuality and his focus. He is always attentive on your technique and truly cares for his clients' succes

Joe Wayne, CPA

I've worked with Alex for almost two years now.  He brings it every session and motivates me to do the same (even on cardio days).  Alex keeps the programs and individual workouts interesting and I've made great strides in strength, flexibility, and muscle growth.  


He's also always there to celebrate a great set with a fist bump.  Thanks Alex!
