Owner/CEO of WellPower, L.L.C.
Who is Alexis?
Alexis has a Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science from the University of Oklahoma. Her specialty in school was the muscular system and exercise physiology.
She has been involved in many types of fitness related fields such as dance, swimming, golf, gymnastics, basketball, tennis, and snowboarding as well as experienced physical traumas to her own body such as injuries and pregnancy, so she has thorough knowledge of the types of stresses put on the body through all kinds of physical activity and life events.
In 2008, she started out in a rehabilitation clinic as a Physical Therapy Technician where she did many forms of rehabilitative exercises and treatment. Through her experiences in the physical therapy field she saw many injuries that could have been prevented easily by strength training so she decided that she not only wanted to work with the rehabilitative part of the body but also the preventative part.
Next, she became a certified personal trainer, specifically she works with slow resistance training because it is very safe and effective in both rehabilitating injuries and preventing muscle atrophy due to the aging process as well as to build strength in weak areas of the body. In her experiences in training she saw a lot of her clients struggling with weights they had performed previously very well. Because of this she began to question if maybe if there was a physical reason they were not capable of doing something they could do previously.
Those questions led her to MAT (muscle activation techniques) and she found that if the muscle was inhibited that it could not function properly, thus causing the dysfunction of the muscle during exercise. She found through her studies that most people have unbalanced muscular systems due to stresses on the body. So by specifically targeting the inhibited muscle, pain and tightness could be reduced and body function could be greater. She achieved her certification as an MAT Certified Specialist.
In 2011, she decided to open her own business, WellPower, to share her knowledge with people and help them in any way she could. She wanted to be able to combine all the knowledge she has learned through her experiences and help people so they could do the things that they love to do without physical limits.
She next wanted to learn about physics and impacts of exercise stresses on joints in RTS (Resistance Training Specialist) where she learned more about the sciences behind the biomechanics of the human body which gave her a better understanding of joint structure and physics forces within the body and also in relation to machines.
Her next venture was a class called FNS (forces and the nervous system) which consisted of studying how muscles and joints communicate with the nervous system and how to better improve upon those connections thru treatment.
2014 - She achieved Master MAT Specialist certification.
2017 - She achieved her Rx Full Body Specialist certification. Less than 100 people in the world have this level certification.
Although a Master/Rx, she continues her studies in MAT through learning ways to check for vulnerabilities in the muscular system. She believes in the technique so passionately that she is assistant instructing all levels of the MAT program to help others learn MAT. With equipping others with this knowledge, she can help others through an extension of herself. She believes that mastery is a continuation of learning and always improving your knowledge with updated information.
She is always continuing her education in different types of exercise and learning more about the muscular system and how it works as well as testing her own muscular system's capability to tolerate stress and improve physical strength.
She currently lives in Castle Rock, CO with her husband, three kids, and two dogs. She is passionate about life and always looking for new ways to help people live their lives the way they want, on their terms with their physical capabilities.
She would love to help you ACHIEVE WELLNESS, ACHIEVE POWER…so you can do what YOU desire!
