Hi! I’m Aleks Pavlovic and this is my story.
While working in cardiovascular research at Stanford for 10+ years, I discovered that most heart patients are advised to exercise and eat better, but few of them followed through on that advice. They had good intentions but needed personalized guidance to implement healthier habits.
Around this same time, I discovered the power of CrossFit and weightlifting in my own life. I loved the intensity of the workouts, and my strength and confidence began to grow. Over time, exercising became something I wanted to do rather than something I had to do. A focused training session became a form of meditation that helped me manage anxiety.
Founding AP Wellness Training & Consulting allowed me to combine my passion for fitness and my desire to help people develop healthier habits. As a personal trainer, I hone in on each individual’s unique motivators to curate customized workouts. It’s always a joy watching clients master a move, overcome self-doubt, and reach their goals. I also incorporate my background in research, basing my recommendations on current data and science.
