Hey, I’m Lexi

I've been an athlete my whole life. Coaching is how I stay one.

  • Certified coach through OPEX Fitness
  • Former CrossFit coach
  • Basketball and track through school, CrossFit after
  • Ultra marathon finisher

Basketball and track came first, then CrossFit, then — somewhere along the way — ultra marathons, which is a thing I'd have told you I was never going to do. I've been the person who could squat well and couldn't run a mile, and the person who could run all day and couldn't hold a plank. Neither of those felt good. Learning how to be both is the most useful thing I've done for my own training.

I coached in a CrossFit gym for years, and what stuck with me wasn't the workouts. It was watching someone realize halfway through a set that they were stronger than they'd assumed. That's the whole job, honestly. The programming is just how you get there.

So I got certified through OPEX Fitness, because I wanted to be able to build a real plan for one specific person rather than hand out the same workout to a room of thirty. Now I coach people online — new lifters, returning athletes, people training around shift work and kids and a body that's changed — and I still get that same moment. It doesn't get old.

What I believe

Four things I keep coming back to

  • Strength is the base layer.

    Not the goal — the thing everything else sits on. Get stronger and the hike, the race, the toddler, the twelve-hour shift all get easier. Everything we build starts there.

  • The best program is the one you'll actually do.

    Consistency beats intensity every single time. I'd rather you train four honest days a week for a year than eight perfect ones and quit in March.

  • Train for your life, not for the gym.

    The point was never the number on the barbell. It’s that Monday feels better because of what you did on Saturday. If training is taking more from your week than it gives back, we change it.

  • Rest is part of the work.

    Recovery, sleep, and the weeks you pull back aren't falling behind. They're how the training actually sticks. Nobody gets stronger on the days they can't recover from.

Built on purpose

What coaching looks like

Three steps, then we just keep going

No packages to decode, no minimum fitness level to clear first. Here's the whole shape of it.

  1. Lexi training on an air bike in a driveway

    We start where you actually are

    A conversation first — what you want, what your week really looks like, what's hurt before, what equipment you've got. No assessment you have to pass. I need the honest version, not the impressive one.

  2. Lexi writing the day’s training session out on a whiteboard

    I build the plan around you

    Your program is written for you, not pulled off a shelf. It fits the days you have, the gear you can reach, and the thing you're actually training for — whether that's a race, a bodyweight pull-up, or just being able to move well at sixty.

  3. Lexi mid-set on an outdoor rig, training alongside someone else

    Then we coach it, week by week

    Everything lives in one app: your workouts, your numbers, your notes. I'm reading them. We check in regularly, adjust when life moves, and keep going. This isn't a PDF you download and never open again — it's a coach who's paying attention.

Ways to work with me

Two ways in, and you’re not locked into either

Some people want a coach in their corner every week. Some just want to be told what to do today. Both are completely fine.

  • Daily Workouts

    $25/mo

    A lighter way in. The same app, a workout waiting for you every day, and no check-ins to keep up with.

    • A new programmed session every day, with demo videos
    • Progress tracking in the same app coaching clients use
    • Train on your own schedule, at your own pace
    • No check-ins — this one is yours to run

You can move between them whenever you want

This isn’t a ladder and it isn’t a funnel. People go both directions all the time, and none of it needs a conversation about commitment.

  • Start with Daily Workouts, add coaching later when you’re ready for it.
  • Finish a coaching block and drop into Daily Workouts to keep training on your own.
  • Pause coaching, sit on Daily Workouts for a season, pick it back up whenever it suits you.

However you want to train right now, I’m here for it.

Who it's for

There's no one kind of SALT athlete

I coach a genuinely wide range of people, at a lot of different stages. What they've got in common isn't a body type or an age — it's wanting to be capable across the board, not just good at one thing.

  • You’ve never lifted before and you’d like to start without feeling stupid
  • You’ve been training a while and you’ve stalled
  • You’re coming back after a break, an injury, or a season of life that took the wheel
  • You run, ride, or hike, and you know strength work would make all of it better
  • You lift, and you’d like to be able to run for a bus without regretting it
  • You’ve got a race, a hike, or an event on the calendar and a date to be ready by
  • You want to be strong for your work, your kids, your weekends — not for a leaderboard

Community

Online coaching, in-person people

Once a month we get together in person — a group workout, then coffee. No pressure to be fast or fit or social. Plenty of people show up to the coffee part and skip the workout, and that's completely fine.

Training online shouldn't mean training alone. This is the part that makes it feel like a team.

Questions

The things people ask first

Do I need a background in fitness to work with you?

No. I coach complete beginners and people who've been training for a decade, often in the same week. If you've never touched a barbell, we'll start with how to move well and build from there. If you've been at this a while, we'll find what's been missing.

What does online coaching actually involve?

Your programming lives in an app — you open it, you see the day's session with demo videos, you log what you did. I review it. We talk regularly about how it's going and I adjust from there. You're not following a generic plan; you're being coached, just not in the same room.

What’s the difference between Daily Workouts and Coaching?

Daily Workouts gives you a programmed session every day in the app, plus progress tracking — you run it yourself. 1-on-1 Coaching means the program is written specifically for you, I'm reading your logs, and we adjust as your life and training change. Plenty of people start on Daily Workouts and add coaching later, or finish a coaching block and drop back to Daily Workouts to keep going on their own. You can move between them whenever you like.

How much equipment do I need?

Less than you'd think. I write programs for full gyms, garage setups with a bar and a couple of plates, and people working with a set of dumbbells and a pull-up bar. Tell me what you've got access to and I'll build around it.

How much time will this take each week?

Whatever you can genuinely commit to. Three days is plenty to make real progress if those three days are consistent. I'd rather write you a program for the week you actually have than the week you wish you had.

What if I travel, get sick, or miss a week?

That's normal and it's built in. Life moves — we adjust the plan around it instead of pretending it didn't happen. Missing a week isn't starting over.
