My Story

I am a woman who is embracing her “middle aged” years with vigor, hope and excitement in helping other women do the same! Whether dealing with the changes in body after childbirth or addressing issues of aging, I promise to meet your needs with individualized attention. The female body is beautiful, strong and resilient…discover your strength with me!

My Mission!

My mission is to help you  wade through all the “info” available online and hold onto that which benefits you so you can  throw away all the gimmicks, all the quick-fixes, all the suggestions that are not research backed and, instead, create a solid, safe, successful way of approaching  future health goals. 

I vow to NEVER train a client with a cookie-cutter training plan. I love getting to know my ladies…love taking the time to figure out the best strategy for their fitness goals…love having my clients become my true friends! 

I take my health seriously: I workout regularly with both strength training, walking and running the many beautiful Chester County PA trails. I also love reading (big book nerd here, especially fitness & nutrition related ones!) and devoting time each week for church and faith related activities. My favorite activity of all is playing with my two beautiful granddaughters: the best reason to stay strong and fast! 

I am proud of my maintaining my clients for very long periods of time. Even with my recent move from NY to PA, I was able to keep most clients thanks to availability of virtual sessions. As our bodies age, our needs change and I make it my mission to approach my training in as flexible ways as needed.

Gym (small semi-private space) sessions in Exton available.  Private in-home sessions available in Exton, West Chester and neighboring communities. Virtual sessions also provided. Please go to Work With Me page for details. 

Inspiring Client Testimonies

In 2016 I saw this small workout facility and thought it's time to get in shape. I met Alison and immediately I felt this great vibe from her. She took the time to create a personal workout that worked for me. I loved it. Then 4 years later Covid happened. We did not let that stop us. We went virtual and it was a success. We're still virtual to this day. I started with no equipment and still Alison created a great routine for me. I now have equipment and thanks to Alison I always feel great afterwards. It's not easy during but like they say, no pain no gain. I'm 53 years old now and I want to continue getting stronger and healthier everyday. I will be with Alison for the rest of my life.

I can honestly say I am pain free today because of Alison. I have had bursitis and piriformis syndrome for months but I feel better today than I have in a long time. Alison not only trains, she trains to help alleviate any specific issues you are dealing with. She does her research and is well informed and knowledgeable. As a woman of a certain age I can attest that she knows us. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She also works on balance which is so important as we age. Alison creates your workout based on your body and your unique needs; nothing is ever cookie cutter. In addition to all of this and equally as important is that she is a kind and caring person with a mission to help her clients become stronger, fitter and to age with strength and grace.

At 69, I realized I was having balance issues and getting weaker overall. After 2.5 years with Alison, I have core strength that keeps me sitting up straight, I have leg strength that allows me to lift with my legs instead of my back. My lower back pain is virtually non-existent. I can get up from the floor without much effort. And my balance continues to improve. I look forward to my sessions with Alison, who changes up the routine each week and works all parts of the body. She always asks how I’m feeling and stays cognizant of any aches and pains that day while still leading a challenging and motivating workout. I can’t count the number of gyms/exercise programs I have abandoned but I am never giving up my sessions with Alison.

I met Alison about 6 years ago. The gym owner was my trainer, but when he was away, Alison took my sessions over. There was such a huge difference as she was much more attentive to me, allowing me to concentrate on my form and breathing rather than counting reps. We hit it off right away. Now at 64, I love how she focuses on things that women of a certain age need. Balance work to help from falling, strength training for continued muscle growth, and cardio to help me lose the extra pounds needed. I’ve gone to different gyms over the years, but Alison is my favorite. I consider her my friend. She’s so caring and makes sure you’re not uncomfortable, adjusting any exercise while still getting the benefits. She quickly adjusts her workouts for me according to how I am feeling that day. You will be very pleased if you work out with Alison!

I am so glad I found Alison. She is accommodating and really knows her stuff on fitness. I had not lifted since before I was pregnant with my now three old son. She was very patient with me and always made sure my form was correct so I did not get an injury. She is creative with her workouts and they are never boring. I definitely feel my strength improving! I cannot recommend her enough.
