About Our Personal Training Center in Brownsville

About Alex Dominguez

Hi, my name is Alex Dominguez. I am the fitness director and owner of 802 Fit Body Boot Camp and Alton Gloor Fit Body Boot Camp.

For the past 10 years, I have dedicated my life to impacting the lives of the people that I work for-our clients. Today I am lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful team of fitness professionals who share the same vision for our boot camp!

That vision is to BE THE BEST 30 MINUTES OF OUR CLIENTS’ DAY and DELIVER AMAZING RESULTS!

The story of how we started Fit Body Boot Camp goes beyond starting a business in our community! It truly started with a vision, a purpose and a promise (more on this later).

When I started my journey as a fitness professional, I was never seen as your typical trainer. As a kid, I was someone who struggled with his own weight and image, and when I started my career, I was not your typical “gym rat”. I have always been someone who has used fitness to live a more balanced and healthier life, not necessarily just for the Instagram selfies. Fitness has taught me that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, that you can maintain self discipline and that our #1 priority should be to take care of our bodies.

I learned more about fitness by going to school in the field. I became a certified fitness professional so I could learn how to work with all different types of people. That could mean helping an athlete for competition, but it could also mean helping another client who has never worked out in their life and struggles with diabetes or high blood pressure. My expertise is definitely in helping individuals reach their health and fitness goals through losing weight, toning up and shedding body fat!

I am now lucky enough to live my passion, and I am extremely grateful for all of the clients that we serve. Over the past few years, my team and I have had the opportunity to reach more and more people in the Rio Grande Valley by owning and operating fitness centers in McAllen, TX. This passion also inspired me to create internship programs where I prepare and educate young fitness enthusiasts with aspirations of helping thousands of people in the fitness industry themselves. We provide them with nationally accredited certifications to help them find jobs in the field. It’s my way of giving back to the profession that allows me to change the course of many people’s lives.

Most importantly, today I am fully devoted to serving the people of our community in Brownsville, TX. It’s how I get to fulfill 1 promise…

See, 5 years ago, my mother lost her battle with breast cancer. Before she passed away, I had taken my fitness dreams and aspirations to San Antonio. When I found out she had only months left to live, I packed my things and moved back to Brownsville to live closer to my family. Little did I know that, in this time of suffering, my story of PURPOSE was in the making.

While living in Brownsville during my mother’s battle with illness, I made my promise that I will wake up every day to improve my clients’ lives. and that when I shut the door to leave my mom’s reality at home my true battle towards her cancer began. I made a promise to prevent my client’s diseases so they can be there to live all stages of their children’s life. For them to see them grow up, go to school and get married but also to simply lighten up their day. While my mom was struggling at home I was battling her cancer by impacting my client’s life.

Weeks before my mother passed away I made her a promise that if I came back to Brownsville it was going to be TO IMPACT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THROUGH MY PASSION. THAT I WAS GOING TO DEVOTE MY LIFE, EVERY DAY TO PROVE THAT HER CANCER NEVER WON THE BATTLE!

Cancer never won the battle because, thanks to our amazing team of fitness professionals, we have been able to impact thousands of people’s lives in the Rio Grande Valley. We’ve helped them shed thousands of pounds of fat, gain pounds of lean muscle, lower glucose and cholesterol levels and gain back their confidence. Once again, we strive …TO BE THE BEST 30 MINUTES OF OUR CLIENTS’ DAY.
