Read moreAlex Hilliard (they/them) is both the personal trainer/owner at the Black-owned, Poultney-based studio VT AthletaFit, and a passionate social justice advocate. After growing up in southeastern MA, they moved to Vermont in 2008 for Green Mountain College. Later, while in graduate school, they experienced the harsh lived experience of being a low-income BIPOC person, as they tried to navigate working in a public school, while also hiding their shame of being an unhoused and single pregnant person (all with a toddler in tow). It took a few years to end up in a place where folx would listen, but now that they are, they’re determined to make Vermont a more equitable place for folx of varying intersectionalities (including but not limited to BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and low-income Vermonters). Outside of work, you can find Alex lifting, running, being the best “plant daddy” they can be, or carefully curating their TikTok.
