Profile

Alex is one of our resident Exercise Physiology students and believes whole-heartedly that fitness belongs to everybody, not just ‘fit people’. After training with Jungle Botany for nearly 5 years she joins us in Ballina with a strong belief in the Jungle ethos.

Alex came to coaching after personally experiencing the dark side of the fitness industry – exercise addiction, overtraining, disordered eating behaviours and resultant injury rehabilitation. These experiences have fuelled Alex’s desire to improve service delivery within the sector. She believes education is key and empowers people to achieve their goals both in and outside of the gym.

Alex has experience in a variety of sports including squad swimming, amateur boxing and long distance running but her one true love is getting strong. Alex focuses on realistic approaches to wellness and will be the first one to high-five you after a personal win. Alex’s current passion project is the impact of physical activity on mental well-being and as a tool for the treatment of mental health conditions. She believes nothing exists in isolation, and approaches health from a big-picture perspective.
