If you are looking for a highly intelligent, knowledgeable, and thorough trainer, your search stops here. Working out at Five Diamond Fitness and Wellness is possibly the best investment I’ve made for my physical and mental well-being.
Alix has everything you are looking for when it comes to achieving your personal fitness and wellness goals to the highest extent. His training style is rigorous and will make you feel fulfilled with every workout. I used to be so focused on achieving my goals as soon as possible and I hated the process of building muscle, which meant that I stalled on my fitness goals. Alix helped me think otherwise and taught me how to love the process. The benefit of that is that you will start to appreciate what it means to work out for your well-being and how build a mind-to-muscle connection. He will help you with your form, your nutrition goals (no BS fad diets, very realistic and enjoyable diets), your mental health and will assess you often (aside from the periodic assessments!). He explains the reasoning behind each workout and how it will help you, short-term and long-term wise. Alix will tailor every workout to your goal to ensure that you don’t plateau (which is CRUCIAL) and that you actually feel excited and happy to work towards your goals!
Aside from what Alix will do for you, he is also a very legit and awesome guy to be around. Personable, honest, kind, relatable, funny and motivational! Everything I think a personal trainer should possess when it comes to personality traits.
I’ve been with Alix since mid-September and I have seen a lot of fantastic results since then, not with just the physical part but with the mental part, too (huge emphasis on the “Wellness” portion). I’m able to think better, clearer, quicker and I no longer feel like I’m rushing through life.
Lastly, the facility is comfortable, bright and well-organized. The equipment is high quality and always clean (he disinfects after every client and that’s important).
P.S Five Diamond Fitness and Wellness also offers various types of massages!! They are ABSOLUTELY worth it. I’ve always felt it was worth my time and I feel rejuvenated for several...
Read moreI have always been active and gone to the gym, but I have hyper mobile EDS, and especially as I get older I have been injury prone and struggle to gain muscle. I especially struggle to lift heavy and hadn’t been enjoying the gym anymore bc I lift so easy just to avoid injury (but don’t feel like I make any progress as a result). I decided to give personal training a try and this place exceeded my expectations. I finally feel like I am making progress and able to lift heavier (without injury, which is very challenging with hEDS).
The combined training and massages are very effective aiding with the muscle pain etc. as I gain strength, and at a very reasonable price to upgrade to two massages a month. Anna made me feel comfortable communicating my pain points and gave a high quality massage - one of the best I’ve gotten. I look forward to seeing her regularly!
The owner, Alix, is very knowledgeable and great at balancing pushing me with also making adjustments when I feel like my past injuries etc are at risk. He has been great at ensuring my form is always good, which has helped me feel safe lifting heavier (and finally enjoying my workouts again despite my hEDS). Overall a fantastic training experience at a very reasonable price. I appreciate the small shop atmosphere and am overall thrilled with the training experience. This is more than just training, five diamond genuinely cares about it their clients. Also, Alix is a genuinely interesting, down to earth person to talk with, helping you have fun even while working your butt off. Every workout is different so you are never bored working towards...
Read moreAlix is truly one of a kind. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and is an absolute joy to train with. I actually look forward to working out because I know I will not only SEE results but FEEL them. Alix is such a kindred spirit, and someone I am so happy to support.
What really sets him apart is how genuine and kind he is. He truly cares about his clients, not just their fitness goals but their overall well-being. His passion for what he does is obvious. He understands that we are all human, and that sometimes we have an off-day or responsibilities that come up unexpectedly. He will always meet you where you’re at, and will always encourage progress over perfection.
I truly could never say enough good things about him. If you are looking for a personal trainer, look no further.
I have also started getting massages through Five Diamond with Anna, and she was phenomenal. She was very professional and explained what she was doing and why throughout my massage so I felt informed. I am really looking forward to seeing her for massages regularly.
Five Diamond Fitness and Wellness is an absolute gem and I am so thankful to...
