About our trainers

---

Hey, Im Alex, owner of Absolute Ambition and a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), and Weight Loss Specialist (WLS). My passion is helping people become stronger, healthier, and more capable, whether their goal is losing weight, building muscle, moving without pain, improving athletic performance, or simply feeling better in everyday life.

Before becoming a personal trainer, I spent years performing professionally as a ballet dancer with companies in Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., and Pittsburgh. Ballet demanded an exceptional level of strength, mobility, balance, discipline, and body awareness. It also taught me the importance of intelligent training, injury prevention, and consistency, principles that continue to shape the way I coach today.

Since transitioning from the stage to the gym, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others achieve their own goals through evidence based strength training and individualized programming. I believe fitness isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about building a stronger, more resilient body that supports the life you want to live.

Outside of coaching, one of my greatest passions is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where I currently train as a purple belt. Training on the mats has given me a firsthand understanding of the physical demands of grappling and the importance of strength, power, endurance, mobility, and recovery. I especially enjoy working with fellow Jiu Jitsu athletes who want to improve their performance, reduce injury risk, and stay on the mats longer through intelligent strength and conditioning. At the same time, the principles that make someone a better grappler are the same principles that help anyone move better, get stronger, and live a healthier life, whether you’ve ever stepped onto a mat or not.

No matter where you’re starting, I know that meaningful progress comes from patience, consistency, and having the right guidance. Throughout my own journey from professional ballet to strength training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I’ve experienced the challenges of pushing toward new goals and the rewards that come from sticking with the process. My role is to provide the knowledge, accountability, and support you need so you can become the strongest version of yourself, whatever that looks like for you.

My name is Kim and I am a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and a Girls Gone Strong Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist (CSMC). I love assisting beginners to feel confident, capable, and strong no matter where they are starting from, as well as working with women, particularly those navigating midlife and the menopause journey.  I understand this season of life can bring physical, mental, and emotional changes that impact how you feel in your body. 

By personally experiencing the challenges that come with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my coaching.  

For much of my adult life I struggled with my own weight, poor eating habits, a chronic pain disorder, mental health, and recently menopause. Hiring a coach for myself at the beginning of my fitness journey helped me to stay consistent, accountable, reach my goals, move without pain, lose weight, and gain strength.  Since then, my passion for health and fitness became a catalyst for me to change careers to help others transform their daily habits and outlook on self care.

Through a patient, empowering approach, I create a judgment free, safe, and supportive space where I encourage clients to discover new levels of possibility in both body and mind.  Being able to overcome challenges and realizing your body’s potential is empowering.  I want to help you bring about positive change to lead a well balanced lifestyle.  This goes beyond looking your best.  I want you to feel happy, healthy, confident, and strong.  Your training program will be personalized according to your goals and I will be with you every step of the way.

Whether you are looking to increase energy, protect your joints from injury, move better, lower your risk for chronic health conditions, lose weight, gain flexibility, balance, or muscle,  let’s begin your journey together!
