Welcome to Strong by Alex!
I’m Alex Gleeson, Accredited Exercise Physiologist, mother of four, and the person behind every program on this site.
I hold a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology (Honours) and a Master of Public Health from the University of Sydney. Over the last 7 years I’ve worked with hundreds of women through pregnancy and postpartum recovery, building programs grounded in clinical training, not guesswork.
I started Strong by Alex because I lived the gap myself. Through four pregnancies I wanted to stay strong, physically and mentally. I struggled to find guidance that was both safe and actually effective. So I built what I couldn’t find: a week-by-week program that adapts as your body changes, backed by clinical qualifications and four pregnancies’ worth of real experience.

Getting Started
We are all about your safety and the wellbeing of your baby, so please ensure you receive clearance from your GP/obstetrician before commencing any new routines during pregnancy before you begin.
If your health status or situation changes, then you must listen to your health professional’s advice (GP, obstetrician, or midwife) – even if you’re feeling well.
The right mindset is so important if you want to reach your goals, and that’s where Strong by Alex can help. Over the last 7 years, I’ve loved supporting my clients through a happy pregnancy and recovery, and I hope I can do the same for you.
