Living the Lifestyle: Fitness, Fun, and Luxury in Houston, TX

When Alex isn’t in the cockpit, you’ll find him embracing life in Houston, TX—a city that mirrors his vibrant and driven personality. From cruising the streets in his Lamborghini to unwinding on his boat, Alex’s lifestyle reflects the perfect balance of hard work and well-deserved rewards.

Fitness remains at the core of his daily routine, whether he’s training at Houston’s elite gym, Believe HTX, or testing new workout plans designed for busy professionals. His experiences fuel the creation of products and programs that fit seamlessly into the lives of pilots, flight attendants, travel nurses, and other travelers who prioritize health and style.
