Performance Over Aesthetics | Alena Luciani on Strength, Confidence & Sustainable Fitness

In this Founders Feature episode, Alena Luciani, founder of Training to Excel, strength coach, and educator, joins the show to challenge diet culture, all-or-nothing fitness mindsets, and the belief that you have to shrink yourself to succeed in the gym or in life . With a background in kinesiology and years as a varsity athlete in basketball and lacrosse, Alena built Training to Excel to recreate the athlete environment for everyone — not just competitive sports players. Her work centers on treating every client as an athlete in life, prioritizing movement quality, performance, confidence, and long-term sustainability over calorie burning or aesthetics. In addition to coaching athletes and everyday high performers, Alena also educates and mentors other strength coaches and movement professionals raising the standard of care in an industry often driven by trends and misinformation. This conversation explores identity beyond sport, building confidence through movement, and why performance-first training creates healthier relationships with fitness. What You’ll Learn: Why performance-focused training beats aesthetic-driven fitness How retired athletes can rebuild identity and confidence through movement The hidden harm of diet culture and “shrink to succeed” narratives What it means to train as an “athlete in life” How confidence and competence in movement transfer to everyday life Why education and experience matter in the fitness industry _____ Follow us on LinkedIn:   / foundersfuture   Listen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2UNPGOl...
