In this episode of The Kidney Collective™, hosts Tamara Ruggiero and Mike Spigler speak with Alex Simmons, a kidney transplant recipient and fitness instructor, about his unexpected journey with kidney disease. Alex shares his experiences from diagnosis to dialysis, the challenges he faced, and the importance of raising awareness about kidney health.
Alex Simmons is an athlete, fitness instructor, “girl dad” and kidney transplant recipient. He is the owner of the Pray Focus Grind gym in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite having been in exceptional shape his whole life, he unexpectedly was diagnosed with kidney failure on February 1, 2023.
