We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alexander John Courtney. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alexander John below.

Alright, Alexander John thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.

– My mother did the most selfless thing a mother could do; at birth, she put my twin brother and I up for adoption. Because of her situation at the time, she couldn’t care and provide for us in the way she wanted to. She carefully selected a mom and dad for us, and kept my twin and I together!

Impact on me – 1. no matter what happens in life, my default mood is humble and grateful. 2. I pay extra care to the work I teach – I give it 110%, 100% of the time. 3. I am passionate and present with everything I do.

– My family that raised my brother and I raised us with principles and values – they provided the necessities, taught us the value of being an individual, taught us hard work, communication.

Impact – to do the right thing, even when no one else is doing it.

– All three of my parents have been supportive of me being a business owner. They have been there to support when I have questions, need guidance.

Impact – live the life that I came here to live, and be the difference!

Alexander John, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Heyo! Alexander John checking in, I came into this world on the adventure of a lifetime. As a trailblazer , I have always been on the bleeding edge of life; it wasnt any different when it came time to select a career. I walked (ran really) into Health and Wellness because teaching, solving complex problems, and being creative have always been a part of my journey. just like climbing a mountain and rock climbing, one has to be prepared, fit, thinking, feeling, and 110% in. When I healed my chronic back pain in 2011 naturally (without aid from doctors), this was the final straw that started my career as a Personal Trainer. The wild card? I work with my twin brother! We started Twice as Fit in 2012.

The services I provide are

1. 1 on 1 Personal Training
2. Physical Competency Workshops
3. Assessment and Evaluation
4. Q & A Calls
5. Train the Trainers

The Problems I solve:

1. Performance and Healing – every one from young elite athletes to elderly bedridden adults – from climbing mt Everest to rehabbing a knee surgery.
2. Keep things Simple in a complicated health and wellness industry
3. Prepare you for the life you want to live, and earn to live
4. Personal Responsibility – it takes courage and the right tools

What sets Twice as Fit apart is our listening and ability to piece the whole picture of your life together so you discover what you truly need and want to achieve your goals. Exploring complexity to reveal Simplicity. Strengthen your Weakness

What I want people to know is that Health and Healing are simple. I have healed 6 times on a very deep level, and every time is has been simple, but you have to be courageous, honest, and willing to change yourself to heal and adapt. Life and Manifestation require Action and Consistency.

What I am most proud of Twice as Fit’s ability to adapt and evolve. When you are on the cutting edge of anything, many people don’t understand and at times vehemently oppose what you are doing. Twice as Fit has developed life skills – Listening, Empathy, Inquiry, Communication – so we can meet the resistance with persistence. Truth lasts, even through the most torrential storms. Because its rooted in Principle and Value

When you learn how your body moves/works and you have the right tools to be responsible, it builds confidence. And it will take some hard work and discipline. It depends on what you want to do with your life.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

In 2020, I lost everything – my 7 year relationship, 75% of my clients, strained relationships with my family, most of my friends. I was so angry and frustrated. I thought I was going to lose my business and well being forever.

I decided to take a month long road trip across the country. During the road trip, I climbed mountains, met new friends, sat my demons down at the table and talked to them, connected with nature, reconnected with my passion for being a Human, and healed. It was very painful and uncomfortable – there were many times where I didnt want to keep going, and I did any way because I knew the alternative would’ve made things worse. I knew that this was a make or break trip.

I met some very special people on that trip, angels, that helped me when I was at my lowest.

When I made it back home, I reconnected with my family, met my birth mom, got my business back up and going, and completed my 7 year relationship on good terms.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Building Relationships. People dont care how much you know, until they know how much you care
