Alexis Bergman, Coach
Strength & Conditioning Coach, Personal Trainer | @thelex303
Alexis is a superstar health and fitness pro with superstar athletic beginnings. Soccer, softball, and basketball all got a taste of Alexis’ talents over the years, but basketball won the greater part of her affections.
She played competitively through college, until a series of ACL injuries tore into her junior and senior seasons – and with that, her professional career as the shortest basketball player ended before it began.
Recovering from her injuries sparked in her a new passion, and the transition into health and fitness was a no brainer! Alexis graduated from Roanoke College in Virginia with a degree in Physical Education.
After some time in the south, Alexis began to miss the brutal New England winters of her childhood and her beloved Red Sox, so she decided to move back north. Over the next seven years, she worked full-time as a personal trainer while moonlighting as an Assistant Basketball Coach at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, serving additionally as the team’s head Strength and Conditioning Coach. All the while, Alexis was also a full-time student herself, earning a Master’s Degree in Strength and Conditioning from Bridgewater State University.
Alexis transitioned to Healthworks as a Fitness Director, eventually transitioning to full-time trainer so she could work more closely with people wanting to achieve their fitness goals. Prior to joining the team at SLS, she taught for five years at the American Academy of Personal Training where she instructed fitness enthusiasts aspiring to become certified personal trainers.
Alexis sincerely enjoys working with clients of all shapes, sizes, and ability levels, and she likes to structure her sessions by incorporating “pre-hab” techniques into stability warm ups that precede her form-focused and goal-oriented workouts.
Alexis believes that “success is the sum of small efforts day in and day out,” and she approaches all of her endeavors as a trainer, teacher, manager, and mentor with the same spirit of patience, focus, and humility.

“I credit Alexis for making me stick to the coaching program over the years—no small feat! Her attention to my specific needs and abilities is unsurpassed. She’s become an essential part of my exercise life, listening carefully, then encouraging me, with kindness and consideration to support my goals—and did I say all the while with a good laugh! She’s been known to provide background soundtrack to my efforts! A gem of a coach, I’m lucky to call her my coach and I look forward to each session.” - Philippe D.
