I’ve been working with Alex for over two years now and it has been a great experience. His collaborative and understanding approach to my training has allowed me to push forward when needed, and to step back and focus on life when that's what was required. With Alex everything is thoughtful and considered, never one size fits all. He has great communication and I feel genuinely supported every step of the way. This has enabled me to step back on the platform after three years and help me rediscover my love for the sport. If you're looking for a coach who invests in you as an athlete and as a person, I can't recommend Alex highly enough.

There’s nothing quite like what Alex has created with Groove lifting club. Not only is Alex knowledgeable of all things fitness and strength training; a complete master of his craft but more importantly, he is patient, understanding and will be your biggest cheer leader. Alex has backed me from day 1, given me confidence and built up my strength and has now created an environment where all the other members of Groove are behind me too! I couldn’t recommend him enough!

I started as someone with no strength, no gym experience and not many friends after recently moving to Melbourne. Groove and Alex has me at the gym 4 days a week, with friends 2 days a week, and a much more motivated outlook on life 7 days a week. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Alexander is attentive and responsive and genuinely cares for his clients. He makes a concerted effort to support his clients holistically and not just from a physical perspective. Unlike others in the field, Alexander is very open about his areas of expertise and makes good recommendations for factors out of his scope, which is incredibly respectable. If you want to be coached by someone well educated in their field, appropriately empathetic and cares for you as more than a client, then I cannot recommend Alex enough

When I contacted Alexander I was some guy who liked lifting weights and watching YouTube about lifting weights. Now, a year later, I'm a powerlifter. I've got two meets under my belt (with more to come), I know actual real-life people who aren't on my TV I can talk to about it and - most importantly - I've got a coach in my corner paving a path towards absolutely smoking some landmark lifts. The man strikes the perfect balance between rigorous, structured, numbers-based training and understanding the human parts of progression. A lifter needs more than a spreadsheet to grow and Alex gets that.

I started working with Alexander in December 2022 after a disappointing Powerlifting Nationals. He was able to meet me where I was at and help build my skills and confidence up over the course of a few months. He has been able to develop my understanding around long term and acute weight management for competition and lifestyle, as well as working with me through injuries and training around work and life events.

We have completed a number of very successful competition preps together now and have continued to build strength whilst moving down a weight class. This could have been only been possible with the knowledge, guidance and support given to me by Alexander.

Partnering up with Alexander has been really refreshing. His infectious enthusiasm and friendly demeanor has set the tone for each program. You can feel his passion for what he does and the culture he's created is inspiring. After working with numerous coaches over the years, Alex's dedication to my progress really stands out. His guidance has helped me make significant strides towards my goals and I can't recommend him enough!

I’ve been a part of Groove since the beginning and can’t speak more highly of the professionalism, passion and dedication of Alexander, and the culture of the community that he has created.

If you are just starting out your fitness journey, or are looking for an incredible community to train with, then look no further. Groove has everything you need and more!

Alex has been an incredible coach - attentive, understanding, and adaptable. Since I started training with him nearly two years ago, his genuine care and commitment stood out. He took the time to understand my journey and tailor a powerlifting plan that works for me, which went a long way in building a strong foundation. I’ve worked with some great coaches before, but since joining Alex, I haven’t looked back.
