The studio
Built for people who mean it
Apex started in 2018 when head coach Alex Mercer left a big-box gym frustrated by cookie-cutter programs and clients who stopped seeing results after month two. The studio is small by design: twelve racks, no cardio bunny machines, and a coaching team that knows every client by name and by number. We track your lifts, your sleep, and your progress photos so you never plateau because nobody noticed. If you are ready to train with intention, the door is open.

What athletes say
I have been training with Alex for 14 months and hit a deadlift PR I never thought I would reach. The programming is the real deal. Every session has a clear reason behind it.
Riley's small-group classes are intense in the best way. You get real coaching feedback every rep, not just someone watching from a desk. I have lost 18 pounds and my back pain is gone.
The online coaching program lets me train on the road without losing momentum. Weekly check-ins actually happen, the app is clear, and the programming adapts when I am stuck at a hotel gym.
Good to know
Common questions
- Do I need prior experience to join?
- No. We take complete beginners every week. Your first session includes a movement screen and a goal conversation so we know where to start. We have never written the same program twice.
- What is included in the trial session?
- A 60-minute private session with a coach: a movement screen, a conversation about your goals and history, and a full workout at your current level. There is no sales pitch and no obligation to continue.
- How often should I train?
- For most goals, 3 sessions per week is the sweet spot. We will give you an honest recommendation based on your schedule and recovery. More is not always better, and we will tell you that.
- Can I switch between private and small-group?
- Yes. The 10-Session Pack and Monthly Membership both let you mix private coaching and group sessions however you like. Just book through the app and we will confirm your spot.
- Is the online coaching real coaching or just an app?
- Real coaching. Alex or Riley writes your program by hand each month, reviews your weekly check-in video, and adjusts based on what they see. The app is just the delivery method.
