\ud83c\udf1f Meet Alex! \ud83c\udf1f<\/p>\n

Three years ago, Alex was in a hospital bed after suffering a massive stroke that doctors didn\u2019t expect him to recover from. They thought he might never work, walk, or much less bicycle, run, or work out again. But Alex was determined to defy the odds and reclaim his life.<\/p>\n

Before coming to Fit 901 | CrossFit 901, Alex wasn’t a runner, cyclist, or someone who worked out, though he had been active when he was younger.<\/p>\n

In just 60 days at Fit 901, Alex has lost over 25 pounds and over 6% body fat. But the changes go far beyond numbers on a scale.<\/p>\n
