Everyday people
Busy professionals and parents who want a body and a life that hold up. This is a large part of the roster.
Work with Alex Kikel
One coach.The whole picture.
Most plans fix one thing and ignore the rest. Alex handles your training, food, supplements, bloodwork, sleep and stress himself, then changes the plan every week based on what your body is actually doing.

Who Alex works with
Not just
bodybuilders.
Alex’s roster runs from stage athletes to people who just want their energy back. Same approach either way. What changes is how the dials get set. Find yourself below.
Health & dysfunction
Fatigue, hormones and chronic problems nobody has been able to explain, including labs that keep coming back “normal.”
Longevity
Aging slower than the people around you, and being able to prove it on a test rather than guess at it.
Physique competitors
Prep, off-season, rebounds, and the long game in between shows.
Performance athletes
Strength, speed and recovery programmed around your actual season.
Professional athletes
Pro rosters and high-stakes careers, handled quietly.
Why the last thing did not work
Partial answers
produce partial results.
What you have probably had
- A training plan from someone who never looks at your labs
- Bloodwork read as “within range” while you still feel terrible
- Supplements and peptides picked off a podcast, not off your data
- A macro number that has not changed in eight months
- Four different people, none of whom talk to each other
What coaching with Alex is
- All of it written by one person who sees the whole picture
- Your bloodwork interpreted against how you actually feel and train
- Supplementation and peptide programming built for your labs and goal
- A weekly check-in that changes the plan while it is still worth changing
- His email in your inbox all week for anything that comes up
The weekly check-in is the part that matters most. It runs Thursday through Saturday by email, and it is where the program gets adjusted instead of drifting for a month.
What Alex actually handles
The whole picture,
not one slice of it.
Six things decide whether you get results. Alex writes all six for you himself and adjusts them at the weekly check-in. Most coaches cover the first two and stop there.
-
01
Bloodwork analysis
Your labs read against how you actually feel and train, not just ticked off against a reference range. This is usually where the real answer is hiding.
Where most coaching stops short -
02
Training
Built around your body, your equipment, your schedule and any injury history. Not a template with your name typed at the top.
-
03
Nutrition
Food you will actually eat, in amounts that move you toward the goal, changed when your weight and your check-ins say it is time.
-
04
Supplementation & peptides
Chosen from your bloodwork and your goal. Plenty of clients are told they do not need any of it, which is an answer other people will not give you.
-
05
Sleep, stress and mood
Energy, drive, focus and how well you actually sleep, treated as things you can change on purpose rather than as your personality.
-
06
Lifestyle
Work, travel, family, alcohol, routine. The plan gets shaped around your real week instead of an ideal one.

How coaching actually starts
Five steps. No mystery.
So you know exactly what you are signing up for before you fill anything in.
01
You send the form
Name, email, where you are based, and what you are trying to solve. Alex reads it himself and replies with the details and pricing for the service that fits.
02
You send the initial payment
Once you have the numbers and you are happy, you start. Nothing is charged through this website.
03
You fill in the questionnaire
Alex sends it straight after. This is where your history, labs, training, food, sleep, stress and goals go in. The more honest it is, the better the program.
04
Alex builds your program
All six systems, written for your questionnaire and your bloodwork. Then he sends it over and you ask him every question you have about it until it makes sense.
Roughly 5 to 7 days05
You start, and you check in weekly
Every Thursday through Saturday you report back by email and Alex adjusts. His inbox is open in between for anything that comes up.

Who you are actually hiring
Alex Kikel
Alex has spent years inside professional sports organisations. The same protocols he writes for pro athletes he has written for millionaires, a couple of billionaires, and for people whose whole problem is fatigue, hormones, body composition, a chronic dysfunction nobody could explain, or simply wanting to age slower than everyone around them.
It started with a severe concussion. A lacrosse injury in high school took him out of the sport, friends brought him into a local gym, and he competed in his first bodybuilding show in his senior year. He kept at it through college, started The Prep Coach on bodybuilding forums while he was still a student, and finished a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. He followed it with a Master’s in Injury Prevention and Performance Enhancement in 2016, and went full time from there.
What came next is the part clients actually feel. Alex kept studying well past the degrees: physiology, nutrition, exercise physiology, corporate wellness, longevity, biomechanics and pharmacokinetics. That is the reason one person can handle all of it instead of handing you off to someone else.
Today the roster is deliberately mixed: physique competitors, performance athletes, professional athletes, everyday people, dysfunctional and sick populations, and business professionals. The relationships tend to run for years, which is the point. He cares about what happens to the people he works with.
MASTER’S DEGREEIn injury prevention and performance, on top of a degree in exercise science. He studied this properly.
SINCE 2016Coaching full time. He started while he was still in college.
PRO SPORTSYears working inside professional organisations, with athletes whose careers depend on it.
ONE COACHAll six systems from the same person, instead of four who never speak.

Before you fill anything in
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on which service you need and what it involves, so Alex quotes it in his reply rather than posting one number that would be wrong for most people. Send the form, say what you are after, and you will get the figure back from him directly.
Nothing is charged on this website and sending the form does not commit you to anything.
How long until I get a reply?
Alex reads and answers these himself, and you will normally hear back within 48 hours.
If you are working toward a date, a show, a surgery, the start of a season, put it in the message and he will factor it in.
Am I too out of shape, or too average, for this?
No. A large part of the current roster is everyday people and clients working through health dysfunction. The six systems are the same regardless; what changes is where the dials sit. If your goal is simply to feel normal again, that is a legitimate goal here.
Do I need bloodwork before I start?
It helps, and bloodwork interpretation is part of coaching, but you do not need it in hand to enquire. Bring whatever you have. If you have none, Alex will tell you what is worth running.
Why can I not select Indiana?
Alex Kikel and The Prep Coach do not do business in the state of Indiana. If you are based there, he is not able to take you on.
Can I work with Alex from outside the United States?
Yes. Coaching is fully online and the roster is international. Pick “Outside the United States” in the form and name your country in the message so Alex can account for the time difference in your check-ins.
Is there a way to learn from Alex without hiring him?
Yes. TPC ARMY is Alex’s private group on Skool: the full seminar library from day one, new videos every Sunday and a live Q&A every two weeks. It is $200 a month, billed monthly, and you can cancel any time. See what is inside at tpcarmy.com.
Is there a waiting list for mentoring?
Mentoring is capped at five people at a time because of the weekly hour on the phone. If it is full when you write in, Alex will say so and let you know when a spot opens.
