About us
Josh Henderson | Founder - Owner - Athletic Director
Josh Henderson is the founder and owner of MainStreet and serves as Athletic Director for MainStreet Athletics. Along with operating MainStreet, Josh works for PowerSouth Energy Cooperative in Andalusia. He is an Overtime Athletes Certified Performance Coach and a 1st Phorm Legionnaire, continuing to expand his knowledge and involvement in fitness, performance, and personal development.
Josh and his wife are the proud parents of three boys and serve together as youth pastors at Word of Faith. His roles as a husband, father, coach, and youth leader have helped shape his passion for investing in the next generation and creating opportunities for young people to grow both on and off the field.
For Josh, MainStreet has always meant more than a gym or an athletics program. MainStreet is a mindset. It is about continually working to become better, taking responsibility for yourself, being an active member of your community, and setting a standard for those around you.
That mindset is rooted in Colossians 3:23 and the belief that whatever we do should be done wholeheartedly, as if working for the Lord. That principle influences the way Josh approaches fitness, athletics, business, family, and service to his community.
The same philosophy drives his approach to youth athletics. The goal at MainStreet isn’t simply to develop better baseball players or better athletes. It’s to help develop young people with character, determination, confidence, and a strong work ethic. Josh wants every athlete who represents MainStreet to walk off the field knowing they gave everything they had and can be proud of their effort, regardless of the outcome.
Through MainStreet, Josh’s goal is to build something that positively impacts individuals, families, athletes, and the communities it serves—creating an environment where people are challenged to work hard for what they want, take pride in how they represent themselves, serve others, and set a standard worth following.
Mindset Matters.
Colossians 3:23

Alex Brook | Sculpt Instructor
With a strong background in health and movement, she brings both education and experience to the MainStreet team. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science before continuing her education with a master’s degree in Occupational Therapy.
While in graduate school, she discovered a passion for barre and Pilates and earned her instructor certification through a studio in Buckhead, Atlanta. She later began teaching classes in Troy and Brantley before stepping away for a season to focus on raising her children.
Her passion for helping women improve their strength, health, and confidence eventually brought her back to teaching as the instructor of Sculpt at MainStreet Fitness.
Her Sculpt classes combine Pilates-inspired movement, strength training, and purposeful repetition to create a challenging, low-impact, full-body workout. She strives to create an encouraging environment where women of all fitness levels can become stronger, build confidence, and leave each class feeling energized and proud of what their bodies can do.
