Biography

Difficult Upbringing

Alon was born in Germany in 1987. But, by the age of 3, his parents made the decision to return to their homeland – Israel. This is the place where Alon spent his childhood. However, his life soon went downhill.

Throughout his time in school, Alon began to suffer from ADHD. This was a difficult time for him as he became a victim of bullying due to his condition. This had a negative impact on Alon’s life, really taking its toll on him. Because of this, he had little self-confidence – if any at all.

At this point, Alon sought a way to cope with the negative aspects of his life – turning to a life of drug addiction at the age of 14. This continued to be a release for him right up until the age of 17.

However, Alon soon realized that he wasn’t doing himself any favors with his drug habits. It was at this point, Alon decided to move back to Germany. He wanted to reinvent himself as a better person, while at the same time, obtain a fresh start.

Finding Fitness and Working In His Uncle’s Factory

At the age of 17, Alon relocated to Germany to begin working as an apprentice locksmith at his uncle’s factory. This was a chance to earn a living for himself so that he could keep pushing forward in his life.

However, he had little knowledge of the German language due to growing up in Israel. This made life difficult for him, so his time spent working in the factory was short-lived. At this point, Alon was forced to start working at a fast food restaurant in order to make ends meet.

After a while, Alon realized that he needed to make a change in his life. He was working in a job that he hated, earning just enough money to get by. It was at this point, Alon began weightlifting.

Fitness quickly turned into something that Alon loved. It offered him the chance to restructure his life in a positive way, overcoming the negative aspects that previously got the better of him.

Rise To Fame

This quickly became a huge area of interest for Alon. At this point, he set up his own website so that he could begin to offer his services as a graphic and web designer. Alongside this, he set up YouTube channels in both German and English – beginning to share his fitness journey with others.

Soon enough, he began to receive fitness modelling jobs on a regular basis. This was something that he had worked extremely hard for. As a result of his new-found fame, Alon was able to quit his job working in the fast food restaurant – a reminder of his dedication to improve his life.
