Jordan “Ali” Foyles

Jordan has been attending the same MMA school as me for around two years. In addition to the regular boxing and kickboxing classes at the academy, Jordan has made my Saturday conditioning class a staple in his routine. The energy he brings and consistency he shows make him stand as an example on what is possible with the right attitude and hard work.

From 250lbs to 210lbs

"I came from wasteful movements and poor cardio in my workouts, prioritizing ego gains over meaningful progress, yet I had the core strength of a dehydrated earthworm. It wasn’t until I was taken under the wing of The Physical Philosopher that I developed a tremendous core and grew into an actual athlete, capable of completing heavier and more rigorous training that would’ve injured me greatly in the past. He has saved my once terrible knees and helped me work back from dangerously self-destructive lifting form, in order to grasp evergreen technique. The Physical Philosopher has helped improve my quality of life, the quality of my workouts across the board, the quality of my Muay Thai & Boxing, and the quality of my self-image."

"Long Live the Physical Philosopher!"

"As an adult with a demanding schedule, I often felt I lacked the time, knowledge, and equipment needed to maintain a consistent workout routine. Alex eliminated those barriers and built a structured, twice-weekly training schedule that fit seamlessly into my life.

Beyond the workouts themselves, Alex took the time to educate me on proper training techniques, the benefits of each exercise, and how they contribute to overall physical development. He also provided valuable guidance on mechanics, ways to re-energize, and good habits to help maximize results. Most importantly, he helped me establish a routine and level of consistency I likely would not have achieved on my own.

I enjoyed his program so much that I did 20 sessions throughout 10 weeks and I look forward to continuing it in the spring. This is not only to keep learning, but to stay committed to a system that has proven to work. The physical changes were noticeable, but the mental benefits stood out the most. From improved posture to a stronger mindset, Alex consistently motivated me, kept me accountable, and supported my growth every step of the way.

I highly recommend his services if you want to make that change for yourself and get back into a healthy lifestyle."

Michael Yacynych

Underwent 10 weeks of training and added significant muscle mass

Michael came to me in the late summer of 2025 wanting to get in shape and put on significant muscle mass. More importantly, he needed a guide to make weight training make sense—he needed a “why” behind what he was doing. We worked hard for 10 weeks, progressing from fundamental bodyweight and dumbbell movements to more complex barbell exercises. Since we concluded, he’s been looking great, feeling better, and plans to make weight training a regular part of his routine.
