Alex Navarro Fitness

When I came to Alex for coaching last summer, I was a metabolic train wreck. Seriously. I had run myself into the ground dieting and training for my first NPC competition. And on top of that, I was in denial about my myriad of health problems. I was hell-​bent on competing on the National stage immediately, regardless of my health issues. A few weeks into our competition programming, I was coming apart at the seams. With my health and my life unraveling, Alex helped me see the light and shift my focus away from aesthetics and back toward getting my health under control.
Alex is the complete package in a Health Coach. She is level headed and calm (something I need as a super high-​strung person) while amazingly constructive, motivating and inspiring. Her focus is always on the big picture of HEALTH. She thoroughly evaluates her clients to determine what they need most, and creates a realistic, functional plan around that. Her integrative coaching method is what makes her outstanding: she coaches around mindset, nutrition and training. That triple threat approach makes big life changes stick. She has encouraged me to reevaluate my goals in order to appropriately prioritize health. She keeps me honest when I to lie to myself about what’s working and what isn’t. She keeps me sane when negative self-​talk seems all consuming. And most importantly, she keeps me healthy, so I can continue to live my life and enjoy every moment!
After 6 months of coaching with Alex, I’m almost ready to step on stage again. She has taught me to be patient with progress, how to listen to and learn from my body, and how to be proactive (as opposed to reactive) about managing my health. She has fused my health and aesthetic goals into one holistic training plan.
Whatever your goals, if you need a coach, Alex is your girl! If you want to see what she’s about before you start a program, check out her podcasts on the BodyIO FM channel. Look for the HERBODY podcasts. You’ll hear first hand just how knowledgeable and experienced she is!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this coach!

I lost 60 lb in 9 months! AND regained my health.
After spending about 10 years losing a little over 100 lb, but not being able to get the last 60 off, I finally found Alex. This sweet, smart, and energetic lady brought to me an understanding of health and fitness that I had not encountered before. The last 60 lbs came off in 9 months, and in that time, I also was able to rid myself of arthritis, thyroid, and depression medications.
Alex listened to my concerns and helped me design a nutrition and movement program that was just right for me. She does not have a cookie cutter approach, but modifies as necessary to help each client achieve their specific goals for their unique self. Further, she places great importance on overall health, not just a number on a scale.
I found myself spending far less time in the gym than ever before, but doing very targeted and USEFUL work there. This was valuable to me as a PhD research scientist for a large company, because my spare time is limited. Additionally, we were able to use foods that I enjoyed and that fit my lifestyle to achieve my nutrition goals. Being able to eat foods that provide a psychological benefit to me, and well as a nutrient and fat burning benefit was a big game changer.
My personal experience with Alex was as a «fat girl». Really — fat! But I know that she has had much success working with other types of individuals as well — athletes, body builders, and figure competitors, to name a few. This variety of people who have had success working with her is a true testament to her skills.
I’ve continued to work with Alex over the last two years on a modified consulting basis. She has coached me on how to keep the weight off, and it has been effortless.
Seek her out. Talk with her. Hear her plan for you. You will not be disappointed.

Organic, free range, vegan, gluten-​free, locally sourced etc… There’s healthy food options galore in SF!
However, the trick is finding what is right for you. How many calories of this or that do you need to live the healthiest possible life style for YOU specifically? Who knows? Alex does.
I have been working with Alex on my nutrition for about a year now. I can’t say enough great things about her. She gently guided me into a more balanced food life style which has given me so much extra energy and vigor. Alex is truly a gem. She’s very nice and makes sure to customize a nutrition plan that fits with your lifestyle and is the best option for you.

I started working with Alex back in 2008. I was in desperate need of a trainer who could help me get back in shape and lose the body fat that I gained from my pregnancy that year. Then I saw her on Craiglist and knew she was the one, why? Because I saw her stage photo from her previous fitness competition. If this girl didn’t know her stuffs well (diet & exercise plan), she wouldn’t be able to put herself on stage year after year. Not only I have learned a lot about food and diet for weight loss from Alex, she is also the type of trainer who emphasizes strongly on proper form and safe lifting technique. Then after my 2^nd pregnancy in 2012, Alex introduced me Carb Nite Solution, an ultra low carb diet that guided people on how to shed the stubborn body fat. That was a life changing moment for me because she found me a diet that I could stick with forever and minimized the amount of cardio I used to do on the traditional diets. Currently I am doing remote training with Alex (since 2013), I am still learning things from her but mostly on the new exercises. We keep great communication via phone, emails, or texting and her response is pretty quick whenever I have a question on diet or a specific exercise. Lately, I raised my concern about the last bit of stubborn fat in my midsection and she immediately provided me few options and incorporated them in the new training. I would not have gotten nearly this far without her assistance and guidance. Thanks Alex!

I worked with Alex for my 2015 spring prep for Npc bikini division. I had such a wonderful experience. Alex was knowledgeable, positive and very thorough! She was always checking in, was very in tune with me and my journey to fitness. She was a reality check when I needed it and my firm supporter when I was struggling. Her guidance allowed me to place first in my class and overall in what had been only my second NPC show. She also coached me into my first national show where I placed in the top 10 in my class.
I look forward to working with her again in the new year for my next season. Alex has the tools, experience and patience required for the makings of a great coach. She is one of the few coaches I know in this sport who continue to keep long term clients because she is THAT GOOD. I really can’t say enough. I worked with her via email/​phone coaching but her approach felt completely hands on.
So my training program was AMAZING… Every month I looked forward to her new program for me and was so stoked on how she kept things fresh and challenging. I am a mom and have a full time job and she tailored my program to my schedule. I only trained about 1– 1.25 hours in the gym four days a week which is unheard of for bodybuilding prep. I still had a life.
Alex even gave me scheduled cheat meals… One of which included all I could eat pancakes only several weeks out from my show.
Please SIGN ME UP for a trainer with that regiment!!!
If you are looking for results you will get it with Alex. She makes the plan and you follow through… It will happen!

I have been going to the gym on a regular basis for over 8 years. While I used to consistently see results from my commitment of being in the gym 4 – 5 days a week on a regular basis I finally reached my peak, or so I thought I did until I was referred to Alex! I was chatting with my friend about this issue and he recommended that I reach out to Alex Navarro, he told me she did wonders for him. Just from the first conversation I had with her I was blown away at the amount of knowledge she had when it came to work out routines, nutrition and dieting. One thing that really threw me off was the first questions she asked me, «what are your goals.» I never really thought about it, I mean I was already in pretty good shape with a body fat of just under 16% so I really wasn’t sure what I wanted. After chatting a little further with Alex I realized that a good goal to set for myself was to drop my body fat by 5%. While dropping your body fat by almost a third might sound like a huge pain in your rear it was actually pretty simple thanks to Alex! She put me on a nutrition plan, which was a walk in the park because I was already eating all of these meals I just simply had to switch around the times (certain types of food pre vs post workout.) I dropped the amount of days I was going to the gym from 4 – 5 times a week to 3 times a week. The results were outstanding and I acheived my goal in no time thanks to Alex! I couldn’t have been happier with her services. This girl definitely knows her stuff!!!
