Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Zimos.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Alex. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
My fitness journey started out after I tore my ACL for the second time. I ended up having to accept the fact that college basketball wasn’t an option, unless I wanted a torn ACL for the third time. After tearing my ACL the second time, I realized I needed to do some major strengthening to get my knee back in order. I started working out with a personal trainer for 8 months and got so much stronger. Basketball training had taken up a lot of time in high school so, I had forgotten how much I loved fitness and working out. Once I started really pushing out fitness on Instagram, my page started growing faster than I could handle. I am now a fitness and lifestyle influencer on Instagram. My agent has been a huge help with the negotiating process for certain sponsors and brands. I am sponsored by multiple companies and I absolutely love promoting them. The gym I am training at now is F45 West University and my athlete recovery place I go to is Restore Cryotherapy. F45 is training that demands new and varying styles of working out. Every day, you come in to train, it’s a different type and style of workout targeting all different muscle groups that fit every fitness lifestyle. I go to Restore Cryotherapy because of its Houston’s one-stop shop for recovery for every lifestyle. They range from a huge selection of wellness options to get restored. On my Instagram, I usually post about my restore experiences, F45 workouts, and different health and fitness tips to get people motivated. I have loved being an influencer so far and I am so excited to see my future growth in the industry.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
After tearing my ACL the second time, it has been a pretty smooth ride. For the most part, my knee seems to be back to at least 95% recovered. Every once in a while, I will struggle with exercise.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I am an Instagram influencer who promotes different companies. I specialize in lifestyle and fitness brands. I.T ranges from supplement companies to a sunglass company to coffee companies. I love having a huge variety because it keeps the promoting interesting. Overall, my specialty would be health and fitness. As an influencer, I am most proud of how fast my following has grown. It is so crazy to think that many people are following your life story every day and are interested in everything you post. I believe that being a fitness and lifestyle fitness sets me apart from others because most fitness girls only will promote fitness supplements or clothing. Not many fitness influencers like doing both. It does have to be double the work but, it is well worth it.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was very passionate about sports. I was willing to try new things and was always down to play any sport. Being active outside and playing with friends, was one of my main interests. I was always very outgoing and willing to help people. Now, I am the same way and love helping people on their fitness journeys.
