MEET THE TRAINER BEHIND BEAR RILLA LION PERSONAL TRAINING
A Trainer Who Builds More Than Muscle
Meet Alexander Anderson, the founder and heart behind Bear Rilla Lion Personal Training in Pittsburgh, PA. He’s not your average fitness coach—and this is not your average training experience.
Alexander brings together physical fitness, mental resilience, spiritual encouragement, and a deep-rooted desire to help people transform from the inside out. For him, training isn’t about vanity or ego. It’s about unlocking what’s already inside of you—strength, discipline, confidence, and purpose—and learning how to live it out loud.
From the very first conversation, you’ll feel the difference. This isn’t transactional. This is transformational.

From Athlete to Purpose-Driven Trainer
A Life Rooted in Movement, Fueled by Mission
Alexander’s journey began on the field and in the gym, where athletics shaped his early life. But over the years, fitness became something deeper—a way to overcome adversity, find clarity, and connect with something greater than himself.
After years of competing and training, Alexander realized that physical strength means little without inner peace and mental focus. This sparked his mission to build a training program that not only transforms the body but also restores the mind and spirit.
He founded Bear Rilla Lion Personal Training with a simple philosophy:
“You are already who you’re meant to be. You just need help pulling it out.”
Through that lens, he trains every client as a whole person—not a body type.
Training Philosophy: Mind, Body, Spirit, Purpose
Alexander's style is grounded in compassion, faith, discipline, and results. He believes every client is on a unique path—and he’s here to walk with them, not ahead of them.
Whether he’s working with a beginner, a senior client seeking endurance, or an athlete breaking through a plateau, Alexander’s goal remains the same:
To help you become stronger, healthier, and more connected to your purpose than ever before.
A Few Core Beliefs That Drive His Approach
Training is a partnership. It starts with trust and communication.
Motivation is essential. He starts with your “why” before touching a weight.
Faith fuels discipline. Inner strength creates lasting transformation.
Everyone is different. No cookie-cutter programs. No shortcuts. No judgment.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up.
Certifications and Credentials
Alexander is an ISSA-Certified Personal Trainer (International Sports Sciences Association) and is in the process of renewing and expanding his credentials. His training also draws from real-world experience in competitive sports, functional movement, CrossFit, and holistic wellness practices.

A Personal Invitation From Alexander
“You don’t need to be in shape to start. You don’t need to be confident. You just need to be ready to believe in what’s already inside of you. My job is to help you see it—and train for it, every day.”
Whether you're struggling with motivation, battling internal setbacks, or just ready for something real, Alexander welcomes you into a community that lifts more than weights—it lifts people.
You’ll work hard, push limits, and sweat with purpose. But more than that, you’ll learn how to rise—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
