After exploring numerous trainers both through and external to CrackerJack, I discovered that Alex Hernandez possessed all the essential qualities I was searching for in my ideal trainer; experience, education, personality, effective communication and professionalism. Despite encountering a number of trainers who fell short in one or more of these areas, in Alex, I had met my match. Furthermore, the option of a couple of free sessions was an additional incentive to work with him. While this review may seem lengthy, I prefer to conduct thorough research before settling on a trainer. Alex's experience was especially noteworthy to me, not just because he had over a decade in the field, but also due to his own experiences with weight loss which instilled in him a unique perspective that made me feel he would understand my challenges in this area. I also had several injuries which required a trainer who understood how to work with them without hindering my progress. In my initial sessions with Alex, it became clear that he had the requisite experience to assist me. Alex's professional education was also substantial. His NASM certification as a weight loss specialist was an essential aspect which gave me confidence that he had the knowledge necessary to help me meet my goals. Moreover, he took the time to understand me as an individual, inquiring about my health concerns, lifestyle and nutrition choices, thereby affirming his commitment to tailoring his approach to help me individually. In terms of personality, Alex struck the ideal balance between pushing me to my limits and providing support, encouragement and inspiration that I needed. Unlike trainers who might use intimidation or coddling, Alex's well-placed jokes and encouragement always helped me stay motivated. Alex's communication skills were invaluable in our training sessions. In particular, he was always open to answering my many questions, either during the sessions or via text message promptly. His regular check-ins after each session to ensure that any injuries had not been exacerbated was another aspect that impressed me. Finally, Alex's professionalism was evident throughout our sessions. Unlike other trainers who had behaved unprofessionally or unethically, Alex placed a premium on respect and dedication to his clients' training objectives. In sum, working with Alex has been an exceptional experience. Not only have I witnessed positive physical improvements in my body and strength, but a number of aches and pains which had plagued me previously have also reduced impressively. After 8 weeks working with Alex, I highly recommend him as an excellent trainer.

Although I have only worked with Alex for a brief period of two weeks, I am confident that I made the right choice in selecting him as my personal trainer. Prior to choosing Alex, I had met with two other trainers, but Alex stood out for several reasons. Firstly, he displays a high level of professionalism and commitment to his job. Moreover, as a full-time trainer, Alex is able to dedicate himself fully to his clients and their training sessions. Secondly, I appreciate how calm and focused Alex is during our sessions, creating a highly productive environment for training. What sets Alex apart is his unique style, which blends strength, stretching, gymnastics, and yoga. Throughout our sessions, I have found myself impressed by his knowledge and the patience he shows towards answering my many questions in detail. The one thing I dread most is receiving inadequate answers which, fortunately, has never been the case with Alex. I am excited to continue with Alex and our training relationship for the long haul, confident that he will continue to prove himself as an exceptional trainer. Keep up the great work, Alex!

Tremendous experience! Extremely patient and informative. A fantastic trainer and I adore the gym!

I've experimented with personal trainers several times, but the majority seem more concerned with discussing goals and package commitments during the initial classes. However, my first session with Alex was completely different. He dove straight into the workout, which focused solely on body weight and core exercises, leaving no room for cheating or weight training. Alex's acute attention to detail was evident from the get-go as he customized the exercises and stretches based on my strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, he offered the first two free classes to ensure that his program and approach were a good fit for me. Although I'm still in the early stages of reaching my physical goals, I have faith that with Alex's guidance, I'll achieve them sooner than expected.

Alex is an exceptional personal trainer with amazing workouts. I strongly recommend him for anyone seeking personal training services. He provides great encouragement and helpfulness during sessions, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you, Alex!
