I wasn’t sure if Allyson was interested in training my then 11-year-old daughter, but after talking with her she was 100% committed to what we wanted to accomplish with our daughter. After their first intro session together, my daughter was excited and nervous about this new journey of training. However, it didn’t take long for her to fall in love with her training sessions and Allyson. Allyson can push my daughter outside her comfort zone, challenge her in ways physically and mentally and my daughter continues to want to go back for more. We are in about to head into our second year of “off season training” and there is no one else I would have my young daughter train with. She doesn’t expect my daughter to lift heavy weights to gain strength, the exercises are perfect for her and she had gained more body masses and mental toughness training with Allyson. I would strongly recommend her.

I began training with Allyson around May 2010. At this point I was around 19% body fat even though my overall weight was low for me. Basically, I was not as healthy as I could be. I had a nagging foot injury that was limiting my ability to exercise. I also have an auto-immune disease, so I have to watch out for inflammation. I needed an expert and that’s exactly what I got in Allyson plus so much more! Allyson was able to create tailor-made workout programs that worked around my injuries and kept me safe, healthy and motivated! Within a year I was down to 11.03% body fat and I felt like I was 20 years old again instead of 40. I can’t say enough about Allyson’s dedication to her clients. She is truly invested in their health and overall well-being!

Personal training should be just that, personal. I was hesitant to start training because I had seen her work with seasoned athletes and I was nowhere near that level of fitness! I was so nervous about injuring myself or not being able to perform the exercises, but Allyson worked with me every step of the way. She pushed me when I needed pushing, listened to me when I said something hurt, and gave me the encouragement I needed when I just wanted to quit. She helped me to become a stronger and more confident person.

Allyson is stellar. It’s been a three-year process, but she has inspired me to make a workout program an essential part of my all-around well-being. She’s into a lifestyle change and not a quick fix.

Allyson is kind, but firm. I appreciate how she can adjust to my individual needs. She is creative and flexible in planning with where you are and what will work for you.

Ally is patient, kind and tough as nails! Life can be a whirlwind and she never (ever) gives up. She has incredible passion for training and cares an immense amount for her clients. She is honest, tenacious and knows how to get real results for real people. Ally has had an incredible impact on my life and words cannot express my gratitude adequately. If you are thinking of hiring a fitness coach, give Ally a try. You will not be disappointed.

In early 2010 I received bad news, it was time for right knee and compartment syndrome surgery. Thankfully both minor in the world of orthopedics! After a short rehab I realized I had hit a wall, lost interest in exercise and was only going to the gym out of routine. It was then I decided I needed help and motivation. After observing several trainers at my gym, I chose Allyson. She was friendly, genuine, helpful, and most importantly always involved with her clients. She paid attention and didn’t do the “same old thing”. She pushed me beyond my limits, not by yelling or being demeaning rather by continually coaching me about what I wanted, where I wanted to get to and how I would get there. Allyson was always bringing new exercises to our sessions which kept them fresh and challenging! She provided ideas and suggestions outside the gym including activities and foods and meals that would improve my results. Having her as a trainer made me a better person inside and out.
