OUR STORY

Faith & Family

My name is Mike Alexander, and I’m blessed to share life with my amazing wife, Emily, and our two incredible kids — Madden, our adventurous 2-year-old son, and Dawson, our sweet baby daughter. Family is at the center of everything we do, and the creation of Legion Performance has truly been a reflection of our shared faith, passion, and purpose.
After earning my degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Marketing, my journey in performance and coaching began on the football field — first as a Division II All-American linebacker, then as a fullback with the Baltimore Ravens. Those experiences, combined with time spent working alongside Clemson University’s sports dietitian for Olympic Sports and later with Clemson Football’s strength staff, fueled my calling to build something meaningful beyond athletics.
Through Legion Performance, I’ve had the privilege of working with NFL players, collegiate athletes, golf professionals, and everyday individuals chasing strength and longevity — including clients overcoming challenges like ALS, MS, and joint replacement recovery. My background in powerlifting and HYROX competition has helped shape our training philosophy: prepare for life, compete with purpose, and pursue growth relentlessly.
None of this would be possible without God’s grace. Our family is deeply grateful for the opportunity to build something special within this community — a place founded on faith, resilience, and connection — where performance meets purpose and lives are changed.
