Alexa May, founder of Built Thru It Performance
Las Vegas / Functional Fitness / Est 2025

Strong Body.Stronger Mind.

Functional fitness, Olympic weightlifting, and sustainable nutrition coaching for athletes who want to build strength that lasts beyond the gym.

Our Mission / 01

Fitness should enhance your life. Not consume it.

Built Thru It Performance is more than fitness coaching. It's a space built for people who want to become stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally through discipline, movement, and community.

We help people break free from restrictive thinking around food and training by teaching skills that last. Confidence comes from consistency. Strategy comes from individualization.

Life will always present challenges. Strength is built through those moments. Whether you're learning how to fuel your body, stepping into the gym for the first time, chasing performance goals, or rebuilding confidence after a hard season.

We help people build through it. Individualized. Sustainable. Free of fads and fluff.

PORTRAIT / ALEXA MAY
Meet the founder / 04

Alexa May.

Coach. Athlete. Human. I didn't always have a healthy relationship with fitness.

As a former college cheerleader, I spent years chasing the idea that smaller was better. I under-ate, over-trained, and constantly felt like I wasn't enough. No matter how much I achieved, there was always pressure to look different, weigh less, or be more "perfect."

Everything changed when I learned that fitness wasn't about shrinking myself — it was about building myself.

Since 2013, I've competed in CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting, and since 2015, I've helped hundreds of athletes and everyday people discover what they're truly capable of. Along the way, I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, coached at every level from beginners to national competitors, and finished top 3 at USA Weightlifting Senior Nationals.

But the truth is, coaching isn't about trophies, numbers on a barbell, or perfect meal plans. It's about helping people build confidence, trust themselves again, and realize they're capable of more than they ever thought possible.

My mission is simple: help people become stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally through sustainable habits, education, and accountability.

Because the goal isn't just to perform better in the gym. It's to build a life you're proud of living.
