Testimonials:

"Alison is contracted through my work to come in and train our employees.  She is always professional and gives great advice.  I asked her to tailor a program for me that would give me strength in specific areas of my body for the sports I am playing and I got great results.

Alison is very approachable and friendly.  She never hesitates to answer any questions I have, whether it be about nutrition, strength training, cardio etc.  The thing I respect most is if she doesn't know the answer to something she won't lie and pretend like she does.  She is upfront and says shes unsure.

I highly recommend Alison to anyone looking to get back on the right track to leading a healthy life."

"Alison has been my personal trainer since October [2009] and I've seen results.  I've lost weight and inches and am in the best shape of my life since high school.

She listens to what I need and tailors my work outs accordingly and I'm always surprised with the variety of moves she makes me do, and how well they really work all the core areas of my body.

Thanks for kicking my butt!"

"I have had a great experience training with Alison for the last few months.  She has a great ability to work nearly every muscle in your body in about 40mins 2x's a week.  I'm amazed. I love the way I've seen my body change.  I've tried all sorts of other work outs and nothing has had quite the same effect.  I definitely recommend her.  I'm about to renew for my 2nd time!"

3 super foods you should try and eat everyday are spinach, blueberries, and salmon.
Try replacing butter and margarine with olive oil to avoid saturated fats and get good fats.
Most salad dressings have more oil than any other ingredient (in other words, lots of fat!)
Try eating mostly whole grains-replace your whites with browns (rice, bread, pasta etc.)
Avoid trans fats!! They have been linked to heart disease. Check all of your food labels.
Eat a lot of fruits and veggies. They are high in antioxidants, fiber, and water, and low in calories!
Be careful getting your fruit servings from fruit juice and dried fruit, they can be very high in added sugars.
If a diet plan you see on TV sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There isn’t a cure all for being healthy and in shape.
Eat lots of soluble and insoluble fiber to help you feel full and fend off heart disease.
Try replacing red meat with other proteins like turkey, chicken, fish, and soy.
Any physical activity is better than none! Take the stairs, walk around the block, walk to the school to pick up the kids.
Don’t like running? Try swimming for a whole body work out! (Plus it is easier on your knees!)
Keep in mind, alcohol is high in calories!
Cut back your soda intake, it is high in calories and doesn’t offer any valuable nutrients.
Having a personal trainer can help you stay motivated, dedicated, and get you better results.
