Q&A - 5 MINUTES WITH ALEX CANNON
Get to know more about the Influencer, business owner and fitness enthusiast in our short Q&A.
What advice would you give to your 18 year-old self?
Be careful who’s advice you take, don’t take it from someone you wouldn’t trade places with - talk is cheap.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (personal life and career)
Both of my brands LOYALTI & CRAFTD globally recognised and household names. Financially free, healthy and happy.
How has fitness and exercise influenced you?
Fitness is the glue that holds everything together for me; if I don’t feel on top of my game physically it effects all other aspects of my life - relationships, business and my happiness.
How do you deal with obstacles in your life? (personal life and career)
Every obstacle is an opportunity to learn, every rejection is just re-direction. Once I began to view them like this everything changed.
How do you balance keeping fit and leading a busy life?
I don’t see it as one or the other, its just a part of me now so it doesn’t feel like i have to balance it.
How do you stay motivated?
The fear of regret, looking back on my life and thinking I wish I done this or done that. I think about that daily.
What supplements do you currently take?

Both of my parents, their strength and principles will never leave me.
What’s the best advice you’ve been given?
You can tell the size of a person by the problems that get them down.
If you had to pick one Gym King product, what would it be?
I love all of the new performance range (shop here), but the original fleece tracksuit (Gym King Basis Tracksuit) will always have a place in my heart - it’s been there from the start.
What’s the first thing you’re going to do after the lock down is lifted?
Book a holiday with the family, book another one with the lads and another one to recover.
