“Intense” is a word that keeps coming up in Alex Boersma’s personal training philosophy. It’s a most befitting description of his self-proclaimed “diabolical” workouts, and of the dedication that he brings to his work. In addition to his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Waterloo, Alex is a certified NSCA Strength and Conditioning Specialist, an ACE – Personal Trainer and an IAFF – Firefighter Peer Fitness Trainer.
He specializes in High Intensity Training, Firefighter CPAT Training and Training for Power. Alex is currently working towards becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist with the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. He is implementing the IAFF Firefighter Wellness and Fitness Initiative with the Toronto Fire Department, and also hoping to do his Olympic Weightlifting certification.
True to that work hard/play hard motto, Alex passes his spare time with soccer and camping in the summer, skiing and judo in the winter, and playing with kids Riley and Anika and wife Mary, all year round. And in those brief pauses in between, he finds himself reading alternative health care books.
