Virtual Complimentary Assessment Overview
Alex offers a complimentary assessment to everyone who is looking to maximize their potential. During that session you and Alex will discuss your health goals, and more importantly why these goals are so important to you currently. From there, you and Alex will review your current habits as well as go through a brief movement screening. Whether or not you choose to continue to invest in yourself by aligning with Alex on a full program, his hope is that you leave the assessment with some direction and feeling empowered.

Our Coaches
Mitch Senat
Our lives are often defined by the moments that push us beyond what we believe we’re capable of. For Mitch Senat, that defining moment came in 2010 while training for the prestigious Golden Gloves Tournament.
Before his journey into professional fitness, Mitch managed one of New York City’s top nightclubs—a demanding environment filled with long nights, bright lights, and constant temptation. Despite the challenges, he remained committed to his morning ritual of three-mile runs at dawn, a routine that would eventually shift his entire trajectory.
Faced with a choice between continuing in a draining nightlife scene or pursuing the healthiest, strongest version of himself, Mitch chose discipline. That decision led him to transform his lifestyle and mindset—culminating in his ten-week performance at the Golden Gloves Finals at Madison Square Garden.
Today, Mitch brings that same intensity, passion, and purpose to his role as an AnCOREd Health Specialist, inspiring clients to push past their perceived limits and achieve peak physical and mental performance.
Eric Shipper
Fitness has been central to Eric Shipper’s life from an early age—from youth sports to competing in obstacle course races across the U.S. and abroad. Whether on the soccer field, in the pool, or charging through OCR events, Eric has always sought new ways to push his limits and elevate performance.
A New Jersey native and Kelley School of Business (Indiana University) alumnus, Eric earned his NASM-CPT and discovered a deeper purpose: helping others reach their ultimate fitness goals. Now based in New York City, he’s devoted to coaching clients toward their strongest, healthiest selves.
Eric’s mission is to help people shatter perceived limitations—physically and mentally—through purposeful programming, clear accountability, and personalized support. He partners closely with each client to build sustainable habits and measurable progress.
Daniela Marelli
Daniela Marelli is a seasoned wellness professional with a deep passion for helping women feel strong, empowered, and aligned in their bodies. Of African-Italian heritage, Daniela’s own wellness journey began with personal challenges surrounding weight, body image, and disordered eating. Her transformation came through the discovery of strength training, mobility work, and intentional movement — shifting her perspective from aesthetics to empowerment.
Through fitness, Daniela found healing and purpose. She embodies the belief that “strong is the new sexy” and that true wellness comes from cultivating strength, confidence, and balance in every area of life.
As an AnCOREd Health Specialist and founder of Empower Health & Wellness, Daniela focuses on guiding women — particularly entrepreneurs and high-achievers — to reclaim their physical and mental power through holistic, personalized movement programs designed to support both body and mind.
Dilson Gibbs
Dilson Gibbs embodies the intersection of fitness, culture, and creativity. Born and raised in Brooklyn, his journey is deeply rooted in family, music, and the vibrant energy of the city. From performing at NBA All-Star Weekend to collaborating with professional athletes, every experience has shaped his authentic, holistic approach to wellness—one that celebrates individuality, resilience, and community.
With leadership experience at top fitness brands including New York Sports Club, LA Fitness, Crunch Fitness, Chelsea Piers Fitness, and Lifetime Athletic, Dilson brings a rare blend of genuine care and deep expertise to his coaching.
Certified across multiple disciplines, Dilson’s philosophy centers on what he calls “Deep Health”—the belief that true wellness extends beyond physical strength to encompass environment, emotions, relationships, purpose, mind, and body.
As an AnCOREd Health Specialist, Dilson empowers clients to build balance, vitality, and lasting strength—helping each individual craft their unique story of growth and transformation.
