Maria Alexopoulos
Coach at Xtra Mile Fitness

Maria Alexopoulos is a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with a strong background in exercise science, rehabilitation, and performance. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Evansville and her Master’s degree in Sports Science and Rehabilitation from Logan University. During her time at the University of Evansville, Maria also competed as a Division I soccer player for four years, an experience that shaped her understanding of performance, resilience, and what it takes to build a strong and capable body.

During the final phase of her master’s program, Maria completed a clinical internship in a rehabilitation setting, working alongside professionals who treated both athletes and individuals from the general population. This experience deepened her understanding of injury prevention, movement mechanics, and long term physical health. It reinforced the importance of building strength and movement strategies that support real life, not just time spent in the gym.

After graduating in 2024, Maria began coaching a wide range of clients in both fitness and nutrition, with a strong focus on individualized coaching. She previously worked as a personal trainer at BFit Fitness and Gyms in Evansville, Indiana, where she helped clients improve movement quality, build strength, and create sustainable routines that fit into their everyday lives.

Maria is most passionate about helping people truly understand their bodies and how they move, adapt, and respond to training and nutrition. She believes education is a key part of effective coaching and strives to empower clients with the knowledge and skills needed to take ownership of their health and fitness. Her goal is not just to guide workouts, but to help people build confidence and improve their overall quality of life.

Joining Xtra Mile Fitness has allowed Maria to continue growing as a coach while connecting with members in a meaningful way. She values the coaching based approach and the supportive community that helps people build strength, move better, and feel more confident in their everyday lives.
