Alex Hargrove
Alex Hargrove holds a Masters Degree in Health & Human Performance from Salisbury University and is a NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He comes to The Club at Gig Harbor having spent 15 years within the sport and performance departments at NCAA Division III powerhouse, Salisbury University, and two years as a Health & Fitness Specialist within the Bethel School District.
During his time at SU, Alex was an All-Region student-athlete with the men’s soccer program, an adjunct professor in the Exercise Science Department, and a member of the men’s soccer coaching staff for 11 seasons, serving his final 5 seasons as head coach.
Outside of his work at SU, Alex was dedicated to serving the youth sports community as well as providing in-home personal training to many players and parents.
Ready for a change and eager to lean into his call to adventure, Alex left the tidal lands of Maryland’s eastern shore for the varied terrain of Western Washington. When he is not at The Club you are likely to find him paddling around Fox Island, biking at Gateway park, or running the trails in Point Defiance. He looks forward to becoming a valued member of the community and building lasting relationships while helping you achieve your health and fitness goals.

“My wife trains with Alex, and she’s just as thrilled with her experience. She always raves about how much care he puts into customizing her workouts to fit her specific needs. It’s been amazing for both of us to have such dedicated trainers who truly get us. Beyond that, the entire staff knows our names and makes us feel so welcome every time we walk through the door. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a community that we’re proud to be a part of. If you’re looking for a place that delivers results and feels like home, The Club at Gig Harbor is it!”

“The club is a fantastic place to come workout. The people are all friendly and welcoming. I wish I would have joined years ago. You can tell the owners care about their employees, they at all very happy and supportive of each other. My trainer Alex H. Is a very knowledgeable trainer and not only focuses on your goals, he is also focused on my nutrition. He prided a very clear roadmap on how to accomplish the goals I set for myself. I feel better than ever and am happy I made the decision to be a part of The Club in gig harbor.”
