Alex K. is the first personal trainer I've hired, and I did so based on the high praises from a close friend. She took the time to listen to my initial concerns and goals, and then we got to work. She's helped convert the gym from an intimidating place to one where I feel like I belong. With proper form always on the top of her mind, I've learned so much about alignment, what I specifically need to pay attention to, and have gained strength and mobility. She's patient and encouraging, and frankly I've used equipment and done reps that I probably would not have attempted without her guidance and support. Wellbuilt is where you want to join if you're looking for great individualized training, a bright welcoming space, and a friendly atmosphere.

Wellbuilt Strength has made a positive change in my life. I have been working out with Alex K for 6 years. I came to her with low mobility in my shoulder and right hip. She is a combination of coach and diagnostic trainer. Alex moved me further than any PT had in the past and this past month at age 62 I canoed the 100mile Allagash Waterway pain free!If you are serious about getting better and mobile you should come see this team

I’ve been working out with Alex K for a number of years now and have to say she is someone who knows what she is doing and is fun to train with. She reminds me of that favorite football coach who kicks your butt during practice, but you’re happy because of it.If you are looking for a place to train, not just work out, then this is the place and she is the person for you. Alex helps you set strength and fitness and goals and then puts in a place a plan to help you achieve them. I’ve never been stronger in my life and am motivated by her and the plan she puts in place to achieve my fitness goals.I highly recommend Wellbuilt Strength as it's a great place to work out and highly recommend using either Alex K or Alex A as your trainer!

I’ve been training at Wellbuilt for 1 year and with Alex A. For 10+ years. The owners are knowledgeable and experienced personal trainers who are passionate about what they do. I appreciate the focus on tailoring my training program to meet my individual goals for health and strength. The gym is a well-designed, open space, clean with lots of natural light, and a friendly, supportive community.

I've been working out at Wellbuilt Strength since they opened, and with Alex A. for more than 7 years. Both Alex and Alex are fantastic - you can tell that they take great pride in what they do and are focused on the fundamentals. They both have tons of long-standing clients who have stayed with them, even through the uncertainty of a global pandemic - there's possibly no better testament to their professionalism. The facility is excellent: well equipped and always clean. It's become a real community for me, and everyone else. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Wellbuilt Strength is a welcoming and unintimidating gym with great trainers. It has become a community of friends that I look forward to seeing and with whom I enjoy working out as well as sharing accomplishments and support. Alex K is an exceptional trainer. I started working out with her after unsatisfying experiences with other trainers. My initial focus was to get back into shape and build core strength after recovering from a back injury. I could tell right away that she understood how to tailor my program to my needs promoting strength, flexibility and, most importantly, proper form. I had never really been into weightlifting before (I was more of a cardio person), but with Alex’s coaching, we moved into barbell lifting, something I never thought I would be able to do with my back issues. It was also something that had been pretty intimidating as a somewhat novice gym-goer. However, with her help, at 49, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life, my back problems are gone, and I feel comfortable and confident doing heavy deadlifts, back squats, bench, etc. What I most enjoy about the training with Alex is that she always keeps it interesting and fun.

I have been training at Wellbuilt Strength for a year and with Alex A for almost 5 years. I appreciate the mindfulness in the gym itself and the technical precision you get working with the trainers. Before training with Alex A. I approached strength training with dread and something to just "get through". Alex has shaped my training into something that is fun and challenging. The community at the gym is very welcoming and we cheer each other on into the next challenge!

I started training at Wellbuilt in 2020 and highly recommend the gym and my trainer Alex A. He was able to quickly make an assessment of where I was and tailored a program to my needs. I have problems with flexibility and range of motions which I thought couldn't be fixed. In a couple of months I've already seen positive changes in my day-to-day life thanks toAlex. The gym itself is a friendly environment both in terms of the owners and the other gym goers. The customers seem to range from people like me to more serious athletes. In my experience, everyone has been friendly and respectful of each other. If you are looking for a personal trainer, it is well worth your time to check out Wellbuilt Strength.

Wellbuilt Strength is owned and operated by two trainers - Alex A and Alex K, who are kind, extremely knowledgeable, flexible and patient. They continuously challenge themselves to learn and innovate in order to train their clients in a safe, goal-oriented, results driven way. The clientele in the gym is a mix of all different ages, abilities and backgrounds – all should feel welcome!The gym is bright, open and very clean. The equipment is top quality and is well maintained. The trainers and the members take pride in keeping the facility clean and tidy. It is never too crowded – the training gym model allows people to sign up for a specific personal training time or gym time. I love that! I much prefer this format to the large box gyms which can be very overwhelming.I have trained with Alex A for nearly ten years. He is a supportive and encouraging force in my life. I am so very grateful for his coaching and for helping me adjust my goals across the years to allow me become the strongest and healthiest I have ever been. He keeps it interesting, mixing up the workouts and keeps me trying new things. I appreciate that both he and Alex K put a lot of focus on proper technique and teach their clients the right way to do things to avoid injuries and advance their goals.Wellbuilt Strength opened just before the pandemic in 2020. The owners immediately immersed themselves in what the local health department guidelines were and put appropriate protocols in place to make everyone feel safe and remain healthy. I truly appreciate the care they took. As a result, the gym has been open with adjusted attendance and with COVID mitigation protocols, but open nonetheless. I know the clients really appreciate being able to continue to train during such a stressful time. For the clients who weren’t comfortable coming into the gym, they adjusted and held remote training sessions. Their commitment to their clients is bar none. They have safely and successfully navigated this challenge!If you are looking for a qualified, capable trainer and great gym I strongly recommend Wellbuilt Strength!

I’ve been training since college and Wellbuilt Strength has extensively advanced my overall strength training program. I’ve learned how to correctly back squat and can now squat over 350 lbs. I’ve also learned how to incorporate kettlebells into my workout - including Turkish getups, which has really helped to strengthen my core. Highly recommend Alex K. for already physically fit people looking to take their bodies to the next level!
