Meet Alexandra Diaz from Gold's Gym North Hollywood!

Growing up feeling insecure, Alexandra was never fully satisfied with how she looked. Growing up thin, then gaining the weight during her freshman year, she continued to feel uncomfortable with how she looked and would avoid going out. Her family began to notice she was isolating herself and her mom pushed her to go to the gym. A rocky start, she tried every fad diet and it backfired every time. A few years later, Alexandra reached out to personal trainer Francesca to start training. Little did she know, working with Francesca during the Challenge would lead her to victory. 12 weeks later, Alexandra was awarded as 2019's Gold's Gym Challenge National First Place Winner.
