About the founder
Founded in 2021
Landmine University was founded in 2021 by former American football player Alex Kanellis. A standout athlete, Kanellis was named Iowa Player of the Year and played for the University of Iowa football team. After retiring due to injury, he shifted his focus to strength and conditioning, taking on coaching roles to share his expertise.
Recognizing a gap in traditional strength training methods, particularly in developing rotational and explosive power, Kanellis created Landmine University. The program emphasizes biomechanically sound movement patterns to enhance athletes' rotational strength and explosive performance while reducing injury risk.
Today, Landmine University has certified hundreds of coaches worldwide, providing science-based training methods to coaches, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts, empowering them to achieve higher levels of performance.
