ALEX HAD- MEMBER OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH 2025 AT FIT2LIVE!
MARCH 2025
This month’s member spotlight is on the fun, witty and hard working Alex Head!
Alex got his start at Fit2Live in January of 2023.
Alex’s main goal was to improve his body composition. His secondary goal was to be more social and ideally make friends in the gym
He has certainly added more lean muscle and plenty of socialization and friends at Fit2Live.
Alex is a regular at our social events and recently competed in our 2024 Fall Brawl in house fitness competition where he had a blast showing off his fitness with all of his Fit2Live friends.
Alex has quite the humorous personality and is just the right amount of outgoing making him a perfect fit in the Fit2Live community.
Alex consistently shows up to class 3-4 times each week and is a regular on our committed club board for 16 or more classes attended in a month!
For these reasons and many more, Alex has been chosen as our member of the month for March!
Read all about Alex and his amazing Fit2Live journey below!
Tell us a little about yourself, where you’re from, what you do outside of Fit2Live, family, hobbies, etc.
Hello! I was born in Ann Arbor and raised in Saline, and am the oldest of three boys, all of whom exercise for fun. Hobby-wise, I like to read, play games (including DnD), and I’m getting into the improv scene in Ann Arbor.
When and why did you get started at Fit2Live? What is your favorite memory so far?
I did my Foundations class with my dad in December of 2022, and then when we raved about it to my mom, she decided to join as well. My favorite gym memory is slowly realizing Sharon had rigged the deck during the April Fools 2024 workout. I just really love the devious workouts.
What is your favorite part of Fit2Live, what keeps you coming back?
My answer to both of these questions is “the community” we’ve been able to build. I like to talk about “third spaces” you can go that aren’t work or home, and I’m happy to have found the gym as my third space.
What is an unknown fact and/or hobby not many people know about you?
I studied abroad in school, and have lived in Paris, Florence, and Luxembourg City. Being able to travel so extensively has really instilled me with a love of discovery.
You have two brothers. Give us some insight into what it was like growing up in a house of boys and what it’s like having two brothers now?
The experience is the same – I had two partners in crime growing up, and now I’ve got two people I trust completely. They’re an integral part of my very extensive support
If you could make the workout “Alex”, what would it look like (movements, repetitions, etc)?
Chipper workout:
-50 Thrusters
-50 Wall balls
-50 Farmer’s carries
-2 Mile run
Favorites!
Favorite Movie: The Princess Bride
TV Show: Community
Song: Sweet Child of Mine – Guns and Roses
Book: Night Watch – Terry Pratchett
Quote: “What have I always believed? That on the whole, and by and large, if a man lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out all right.” -Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
If you could travel to any place in the world tomorrow, where would you go and why?
I once had some pretty baller spaetzle in Luxembourg City, I’d love to go back there again.
What does your perfect day look like?
It looks like waking up around 10am for a cup of coffee, and involves reading and playing video games until it’s time to cook a nice dinner of chicken and potatoes.
What is at the very top of your bucket list?
I want to someday join an improv troupe.
What future fitness goal/goals are you currently working towards?
I am currently working towards increasing my lifting PRs and keeping my cardio fitness high.
THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME ALEX!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AT FIT2LIVE!
NEXT UP: MONICA BUENO, MEMBER OF THE MONTH FEBRUARY 2025!
