As a long-time virtual client, I’ve found her training app to be an invaluable tool for both home and gym workouts. Her philosophy and counseling-based approach make her stand out. I have also greatly benefited from her 6 week challenges.

I forgot to mention a bad elbow. She actually noticed halfway through my session while doing DL’s, asked if I’ve ever had any left elbow pain!? This proved that she’s watching body cues, which is going to prevent injury, even when we don’t recognize it. To me that’s a complete well-rounded trainer.
Her as a person, to work with has been comfortable, laid-back, but also business. Which I really appreciate not being overly pushy and fake. Which I’ve experienced having multiple trainers/coaches in history
Happy I found a long-term trainer

I am so thankful my husband and I decided to take the financial step and time commitment to hiring Allie as my trainer! I couldn’t be more impressed with the way she trains, pushes and teaches! Her workout plans each week have been amazing, her online app with tracking, tips, nutrition, and home workouts has been so great to stay consistent and change lifestyle habits that are realistic. I had a back injury and she adjusted my workouts to strengthen the needed muscles to continue to train with proper form and regain my strength and mobility. All this to say, WORTH IT.
Response from the owner · 6 months ago
And I'm so thankful we got you back from your back injury and you're stronger than ever! No more Monday conversation about how you hurt your back over the weekend! 💪🏼 You show up every session ready to learn and work, I appreciate you and your hard work Emily!

Shamli, I love working with you too! You came to me to feel more like yourself after your second child and to feel healthier- 1) we did that, you've told me the little wins throughout the day you've started to notice and how much happier you are 2) then after your first body scan we found that you lost body fat AND gained muscle in the process! #winning I'm happy you decided to take this time for you each week and to prioritize your health.

In just our first 4 weeks working together you've made not just physical progress but also mental! I was so happy to read your check-in when you said "I am really grateful to be working out more consistently! I feel stronger and more like myself, and look forward to continued progress." I look forward to our time too! 💜

Allie has been amazing to work with. She’s helped me with personal training on a weekly basis and created personal workout plans to adjust for my injuries. Allie is all about being creative and assuring that my workouts are what’s best specifically for me. I appreciate her years of knowledge and approach to building muscle especially around injuries that are permanent. Allie’s reputation speaks for itself. She shows up like a coach and trainer should, always positive, supportive and dedicated to your success. She looks her best and is an example of what a personal trainer or fitness professional should be. Her quality of work for herself and her clients are on point and she will remain determined to be her best at continuing education and improving her knowledge and skills for the success of her clients. I highly recommend Allie especially if you’re serious about being your best self and living a life of fitness!

Showing up as my best self is easy when I have an amazing client like you girl! I'd train you any day over and over again! After knowing you for so long, it's an honor for you to trust me with your health, limitations, and permanent injuries. I'm looking forward to our future together B!

5 stars truly isn’t enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve had the chance to work with her both in person AND now through her online training—and I can confidently say she is incredible in every format. As an in-person trainer, she completely transformed my mindset and pushed me further than I ever thought I could go. And now, her online program has made it possible to keep that same level of accountability, structure, and motivation no matter where I am. 💪🏻
Her programs are thoughtful, effective, and actually doable in real life. She knows how to meet you where you’re at while still helping you level up. 🙌🏻
If you’re not local to her, don’t even hesitate—her online services are just as impactful. Truly life-changing. 💜

Allie is honestly one of the best trainers out there. She really focuses on long term sustainability in healthy habits and making sure those results you want stick. She also focuses on you and what you need to be successful. She is just the type of person you just want to be around. If you are ready for your life to change I would meet with her.
