Meet your instructor: Alex Viada
A lifelong athlete, I've participated and competed in nearly every sport imaginable (some with greater success than others), since being dragged to my first swim meet when I was four years old. I've coached thousands of athletes, of all ages and levels, in sports ranging from bodybuilding to ultra-running to triathlon to cycling to powerlifting. I've also prepared close to 100 individuals for Ranger School, SFAS, BUD/s, and other selective military programs using everything I've learned from coaching athletes on every end of the strength and endurance spectrum.
Now, I spend my time coaching a hand-selected group of clients (apply via the Premier form), continuing my research, writing & creating new educational materials, and free weekly Q&As on my Instagram page.
I lean on my team to help me grow my craft, provide world-class coaching, and continue to exemplify every hallmark of true "hybrid" coaching.
Meet our Level 1 graduates:
A variety of coaches from a variety of fields, all of whom are Master Hybrid Coaches and hold the certificate to prove it.
