            Fearless Training Roar Knowledge Episode 14 - Alex Connor - A Peak Into The Man Behind Fearless Training. 

            Welcome back to the Fearless Training "Roar Knowledge" Podcast where we talk everything; Training, Nutrition & Lifestyle.

            My name is Alex Connor and my passion is to Coach. Lead. Inspire…

            All my life I have been surrounded by health, sport and movement, in some way shape or form. At the age of twelve since being first exposed to legendary physiques, I sort out on what was to become my mission; to achieve my own dream physique. Crack the code, discover the magic ingredients, find and uncover the secrets to success. But after years of study, training, learning, failures, setbacks, breakthroughs and small wins. I learnt there are no such secrets, magic pills or short cuts.

            Only the truth. Science! Formulas, practical evidence-based criteria that works not because its magic but because it’s the biological findings of years of legitimate study, research and real life anecdotal experiences combined. It’s real. The problem is; society, marketing, advertising…People. We are the ones who complicate everything. Keep it simple!

            Fast forward to the present day and I have over ten years of coaching experience and now specialise in strength & conditioning, body recomposition and, physique coaching all in respect to lifestyle. I aim to raise the bar and innovate the future. Exposing education, science and truth regarding anything; training, nutrition and lifestyle related. Long term success that is enjoyable, flexible and sustainable for all, is my creed. My mission is now inspiring, coaching and leading others to reach, realise, and achieve there goals, dreams and aspirations just as I have and continue to do… Lead by example.

            Sincerely

            Alex
