HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Alex Solomon founded Chalkback Strength and Conditioning (CBSC)
to give people strength for life.
Coach Alex received a bachelor of science in economics from VCU and an MBA in finance from the University of Richmond.
He is a certified personal trainer and a competitive powerlifter.

Before founding CBSC, Alex was the director of deal origination and acquisitions for an energy infrastructure investment fund where he analyzed and invested in complex financial assets. Now Alex delivers strategies to manage the most important assets of all – your health and fitness!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. We meet to discuss your goals and needs and which CBSC services are a good fit.

2. We develop a plan and a training schedule that evolves over time.

3. We track progress and make sure that your health, happiness, and performance are improving.

4. We adjust to solve problems and maximize results (i.e. coaching).

Testimonials

Alex at Chalkback is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with and I have been working with trainers off and on for over 20 years. Even in my late 40s I have made more progress than I was making in my 20s working with trainers who
do not have Alex’s understanding of training, nutrition and recovery. Working with Alex I have lost over 25 lbs of body fat,added over 10 lbs of muscle and added in some cases over 100 lbs to my major lifts. I’ve done this while also working in a
half marathon and recovering from a major Achilles repair surgery. Alex also understands the challenges of busy executives and he will work with you to build a schedule, plan and diet that is sustainable and highly effective. I cannot recommend Alex
highly enough.

Showcase up to six testimonials to build trust with potential customers.

Working with Alex has been, to be concise, excellent. My progress has exploded since we started. Alex takes a hands-on approach and checks in regularly to discuss lifting form, overall progress, fatigue levels, and makes adjustments/recommendations based on those check-ins.

I would highly recommend working with Alex for those looking for powerlifting-based programs, diet plans, or long term
fitness-related goals.

Alex became my trainer in 2021. I was 73 at the time and was humoring my son by agreeing to work with Alex for a month.
Fast forward two years: I was able to save myself from a serious fall last week because of the strength in my legs, and back pain is a thing of the past. Deadlifting 95 pounds at the age of 75 is an impressive conversation line. I have more body
awareness and am much more stable. My favorite saying of Alex’s is when I am squatting with weights and he says, “That’s independence!"

Alex helped me achieve results beyond what I thought was possible for myself. I am eating properly, training properly, and making meaningful progress sustainably. I am stronger than ever, even compared to my days as a college basketball player with an entire system and multiple coaches behind me. Most importantly, I am free from chronic back pain that used to immobilize me and steal weeks of my life at a time. If you are serious about your health and fitness, Alex will help you with a complete solution.
