Founder/CEO

Alix has over 20 years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and a minor in French from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He is certified by the National Federation of Professional Trainers. Alix’s passion began while at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where he gained valuable gym business experience while working at several gym facilities in the area. During the summer months, he would train and perfect his craft in making sure he learned all that he could about the proper techniques to weight lifting as well as healthy nutritional habits. He also trained with a former Olympic weightlifting champion. From that point, Alix became passionate about the numerous benefits fitness and wellness provide and began the Five Diamond Fitness & Wellness initiative.

Alix enjoys seeing others at their absolute best. He believes that living a healthy lifestyle, through consistent exercise, healthy eating habits and a less stressful daily routine leads to a much longer life expectancy, decreased impact of one's biological age and overall better quality of life. Fitness and wellness is simply a way of life now, at Five Diamond Fitness & Wellness.
