Alex Niedzwiecki
Athletic Development, Strength and Conditioning Coaching
Best suited to: athletic performance, general strength training and building long-term training habits. Enquire about coaching with Alex.
G’day my name is Alex!
I’m a dedicated and driven coach whose focus is centered on athletic performance, general strength training, and longevity.
I’ve been playing semi-professional rugby union since 2017 and now use the off-seasons to compete in powerlifting. Both sports require tremendous physical resilience, and through my athletic career I’ve learnt (the hard way) the importance of taking care of one’s body in order to compete at your best.
This makes my approach to training one that prioritizes technique, structural balance, and safe progression, all while chasing hard after our specific training goal, whatever that may be!
You don’t have to be an athlete to train with me. My focus on performance transfers well into how good you can feel day to day. Developing strength and fortitude so your body is no longer the limiting factor in living your life the way you want to live it.
Regardless of your experience level, I seek to coach people who are genuinely interested in improving themselves!
If you are looking for a motivated coach who has an authentic desire to get you where you want to be, I’m the guy for you!
