Ali is such a joy! She brings so much positive energy and good vibes to our sessions and I truly look forward to them each time. I was nervous beginning because I had never done anything like this before and had no experience outside of running on a treadmill when in a gym. You can tell she really understands the way the human body moves and I always feel safe and secure when trying new things. She is so encouraging, challenges me in the best ways, and makes me want to work harder every week! I highly recommend working with Ali.

I've been training with Ali for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier with my progress and the significant change in my posture. Ali not only focuses on physical health, but she also aids in my mental health housekeeping as well. She motivates me to work harder and has an incredible eye for movement (she's a dancer). I'm someone who lacks confidence in movement, and Ali has given me confidence through positive affirmations and a generous spirit. All in all, Ali's an incredible trainer who is sensitive, smart, kind, and talented.

I've been working with Ali for a little over six months now and it's been such a great experience! I had never worked with a personal trainer before and it had been a long time since I had gone to the gym so I had a lot of anxiety starting up again. However, from our very first session, I felt put at ease instantly and it made me feel really excited to start exercising again. Not only is Ali great to be around but she is very good at her job and tries to understand your body to see what you need to work on to achieve your goals. I can't highly recommend Ali enough especially for anyone needing a bit more motivation to get back into the gym!

I've had recurring injuries that have sidelined me for the better part of a year, and Ali has patiently listened and worked with me at the level my body could handle. She has a never-ending array of things to try, which keeps things interesting and challenging. She's also endlessly encouraging and enthusiastic. After a few months, I'm closer to being back in fighting shape than I ever thought I'd get--I'm doing the physical things I love with far less pain. And I had fun doing it because Ali is a huge delight to be with!

LOVE working with Ali! She's attuned to my fitness level and makes modifications and adjustments as appropriate. Her warmups and cool downs are really great for muscle health, flexibility, and soreness, and even after just a few weeks, I'm already seeing my posture and strength improve. Ali is kind, body-positive, has a great sense of humor, and a set of bangin' playlists. Highly recommend working with her.

Not only is Ali knowledgeable, flexible, and totally relatable, she is also always positive (and this is so important to me, especially as an older client). Ali’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she demonstrates so much faith in my potential to succeed that I strive to work even harder. I so look forward to my sessions with her — and yes, I AM pleased with the results. (Now if only I would do my homework!) I am one happy client.

I am so grateful to have found Ali. Ali is a profoundly talented and experienced trainer with a deep understanding of the human body. The care and compassion she has for her clients is evidenced in everything she does from designing custom programs based on age, abilities and goals to her continuous encouragement and support. Whether virtual or in person, anyone seeking to improve their overall health would be lucky to have her.

I really like personal training with Ali. I like Ali's homework. I have learned a lot of skills from her. We go for a walk. She shows me what exercise stuff to use, and how to do it. She's a great trainer. She uses something to make my muscles relax. She uses a rope with handles to pull for exercise. She has taught me new skills. A massage ball. A golf ball. I'm much stronger and more stable when i walk.
