Meet Mr. 101
The Trainer Brownsville Calls When the Big Gyms Don't Work
If crowded gym floors never worked for you, you're in the right place. Alex Ampadu — “Mr. 101” — is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and DBC Biomechanics & Human Movement Certified, with nearly 25 years in fitness. He built 101 Fitness to be the opposite of a big-box gym: one private studio, one client at a time.
Every session is one-on-one with Alex and the team, in English or Spanish. You get a plan built around your body, your schedule, and your goals — because health is a feeling, not a look.

Why 101 Fitness
Health Is a Feeling,
Not a Look.
That's the motto on the wall and the method in the room. Over nearly 25 years, Alex developed his own method of movement — and he coaches it one-on-one, in a studio where nobody is watching, comparing, or waiting for your machine. Just you, your trainer, and your hour.
