Hi everyone! My name is Alex Zuo. I graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with a Bachelor’s of Science. Fitness has always been a big part of my life but I never thought it was something I could make a career out of. I was fortunate enough to meet someone who was willing to show me the ropes. He helped me sign up at my first gym and helped me through some basic training. I instantly fell in love with the gym. It wasn’t just getting a nice pump that interested me. It was how the gym made me feel mentally. Every trip to the gym made me feel a little more inspired and motivated. Seven years later, fitness became a part of my life that I could no longer live without. I want to share my passion with the world because I believe it’s more than just about lifting weights. It’s about inspiring yourself and others to push yourselves outside your comfort zone and becoming a step greater every day. I’m so excited to be a part of the Anytime Fitness team and help you all achieve your goals.
