Welcome to my site! I’m Lex Bannister, a 6-year NFL veteran. I played for 5 years with the Seattle Seahawks, where I was elected as a "Special Teams Captain" for 3 years; as well as the 2003 playoffs. I also was selected to the 2003 Pro Bowl as a Special Teams player, selected as a member of the Seattle Seahawks All Decade Team, a participant in the 2006 Super Bowl, and also a Seahawks Top 50 Greatest Players nominee. I finished my career playing with the Baltimore Ravens for a year before I had to retire due to injuries. After my NFL retirement, I obtained multiple certifications in Personal Training, Fitness Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, Youth Fitness, Body Building, Silver Sneakers, TRX Group Training, and Life Coaching. Armed with this knowledge, I established a fitness boot camp and personal training business. Though it was successful, situations out of our control (COVID) forced me to look at my business through different lenses and adapt to the situation. Through the years, that business has evolved to what I do now: on-demand virtual personal training for busy professionals worldwide. 

 

My success in the fitness field speaks to the fact that I am a teacher at heart. I wanted to use that gift to share my passion for not only fitness but music as well. Creating music has always been a part of my journey, even though it sometimes took the passenger seat during my professional sports era. Although the two may seem worlds apart, it has always lived as yin and yang in my life. I balanced the physical and mental stress of sports and business by feeding my need for creativity through music. In my mind, music and fitness are crucial in creating a healthy body and a mind at peace, creating your best self as a result. I am so passionate about this purpose that on top of my numerous fitness certifications, I also obtained a bachelor’s degree in both music production and digital cinematography. I am a big believer in self-reliance and putting your best foot forward on all fronts.    

     

Through this website, I hope to create and embody a source of guidance and inspiration for people who need it the most. Through my years of working with people in all walks of life, I have found that the hardest thing when it comes to fitness is having the courage to begin and having the guidance to know what to do next. That is what I’m here to do. I also want to do it in a way that is easy to follow and understand, aesthetically pleasing, and accompanied by music I’ve created, so hopefully also pleasing to your ears. So welcome and enjoy!
