Eat Dirt. Grow Roots.

We are here to help you overcome obstacles that hold you back from achieving your full potential as a barbell/strength athlete. From adversity comes strength and our aim is to empower you to reach new heights.

I'm Alexander Fomin (MPT, BaEXSS), I have over 5 years of powerlifting experience and treating athletes/patients.

At Grounded Strength Solutions, I provide physiotherapy and powerlifting coaching, combining clinical expertise with athletic experience to help lifters perform at their best, stay injury free, and build lasting strength.

With a Bachelor of Sports Science and a Master’s in Physiotherapy from the University of Sydney, I bring evidence based knowledge and hands on experience. As both a coach and competitor, I lead from the front so I can better understand and guide the athletes I work with.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve worked with powerlifters and treated physiotherapy patients across all levels.

  • Coached powerlifters from local meets to the international stage, including multiple national record holders across several weight classes.
  • Competed internationally, winning two medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Championships in bench press and deadlift
  • Helped athletes overcome chronic pain and go on to perform on some of the sport’s biggest stages

By combining my experience as a competitor, coach, and physiotherapist, I’m able to connect with lifters of all levels and help them move past setbacks toward lasting success.

Physio Patient & Powerlifting Client

It really makes a big difference building momentum in powerlifting with someone who's as passionate and detail oriented as Alex. Whenever plateaus or injuries occurred, he's quick to pivot and adjust the program to make sure we could rehab and work around injuries effectively and efficiently.
The prep towards my first comp was well structured and allowed me to achieve PBs that I didn't expect. Whether you're a complete novice or seasoned lifter, I highly recommend Alex as a powerlifting coach

Mandy

Alex is a great physio and I have seen him for a range of issues from sports injuries to head injuries and is extremely knowledgeable in all fields. Highly recommend

Amazing experience with Grounded Strength Solutions as a physio and now as a powerlifting coach for a full pec rupture. I am now stronger than ever and I owe it all to Alex

Chanel L

Powerlifting Client

Alex brings a level of coaching that’s hard to come by. His sharp eye for technique and the way he gives detailed, actionable feedback is what makes him unique. He knows exactly how to push me, always keeps me accountable and has helped me navigate setbacks without losing momentum. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve hit PRs a lot more consistently and efficiently, while staying injury free. Working with Alex has genuinely taken my powerlifting to the next level!
