Holly Small
ACE Certified Personal Trainer
As a former gymnast, Holly Small has always been amazed with the balance, strength and flexibility that the human body can display.
Today she uses her ACE Personal Trainer certification to help her clients achieve postural balance, core strength, increased range of motion and mobility through varied yet progressive workouts, tailored to each client's individual goals. But the road to this point wasn't always easy.
After years in a sedentary work environment and two major knee surgeries, Holly developed aching joints and +50 lb weight gain. With the help of personal trainers and her own thirst for knowledge, Holly changed her lifestyle, dropped the excess fat and added muscle to strengthen her joints.
She shares the lessons she's learned with her clients to transform their own bodies. By giving them a better understanding about how their bodies work and how to change them, Holly works with her clients on the journey to better health.

Alex Ho, Certified Personal Trainer
Alex has worked with UGA Football Players, Severe Traumatic Brain Injury outpatients, and clients from many walks of life in his 7+ years as a personal trainer. Although he graduated with a degree in Marketing, Alex gave up opportunities to work in the corporate world because…
- He can’t stand sitting down.
- He wanted to work in a place where talking about The Office and deadlifts at the same time was somehow considered work.
Alex is a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Nutrition Coach, SCW Certified Trainer, and has special experience with Injury Prevention, Mobility, and Kettlebell Instruction under the SFG International Team.
As a former skinny guy and 'side-hustle' business owner, he understands just how challenging fitness can be… but brings a unique blend of personality, technical coaching, and calculated butt-kicking to help his clients grow.
When training, Alex believes in getting his clients great results... but setting them up for long-term, sustainable health.
