Testimonials

“Before training with Allison I thought I was fit because I ran and cycled a lot. But after years of this I had chronic muscle and joint pain, and poor overall fitness. Through balanced, whole body training, Allison helped me gain strength and flexibility. Trimming down my waistline was a nice benefit too, though I had to buy all new pants.”

“Allison is a great fitness partner! She takes a holistic approach to your health and physical development. In the gym, she is focused on your form…but also on your state of mind. She possesses a solid educational foundation and augments that by staying on top of cutting edge research in nutrition, movement theory and the body mind connection.

She’s professional, motivating and genuinely interested in helpling her clients move to a better state, physically and mentally. I’m far from the perfect client, but she’s always graceful and encouraging.”

“I recently completed the 10 day detox program offered by Pure Energy Wellness and really enjoyed it! I stayed committed the entire 10 days and unless I did it accidentally I completely eliminated sugar, artificial sweetners, soy, cow dairy, wheat, caffine and alcohol! The first few days were very challanging since I was a daily coffee drinker. I drank daily diet coke or iced tea with sweet-n-low and enjoyed my white wine on a regular basis.

“After the first 3 days it was all up hill. I slept better, had more energy, noticed and up tick in my ability to focus and concentrate at work and best of all was able to read the messages from my body about what type of food it needed. For example, it was very easy to tell when I had too many carbs and that I needed a protien to balance myself out, and vise versa.

“During the 10 days I also switched to green and herbal tea and learned how to juice my vegatables. During the entire 10 days I ate a little less food, never felt hungry or starved and enjoyed many things that I had already been including in my diet (like nuts, steak, eggs, etc.) and at the same time lost 5 pounds!

“I’m continuing to keep the same items of food I eliminated for the 10 days, out of my diet permantly with the exception of a glass of wine on the weekend. I would highly recommend this program to anyone that is striving to eat better, feel more energized and just wanting overall better health!

“Thanks Allison for pointing me in the right direction!”

“I was skeptical about beginning a personal training relationship with Allison. She was the fifth person I had signed up with in the last 10 years. Now, I cannot imagine ever looking for a new trainer again. She is by far the best I have ever worked out with. First of all, she takes a holistic approach with attention to mind, emotion, diet and training.

Second, she is an exceptional listener. Then she was able to put together a specialized plan for my needs (improve my golf game, age more gracefully, feel great). In just a couple of months, I’ve met all those goals and more. On top of that, I actually enjoy the workout, which is a first for me. She is amazing!”

“I have been a faithful member of the “Do It Yourself Fitness Club.”  I purchase books, magazines and videos and go about training myself.  It worked pretty well until I reached my 60′s.  Part of my routine is to walk a 3 mile circuit at least three times a week.  It is great walking outside in the fresh air, but I found that one of my knees was swelling and hurting more than I wanted to admit. I tried the “Do It Yourself” bit of making this go away by icing after walking and other home remedies.”

“My daughter suggested that I sign up for some sessions with Allison and see if she could help.  I am delighted to tell you that she has helped me greatly.  I have learned that my technique was not always correct in my “Do It Yourself” system.  There is great reward in doing exercise the right way.  Allison helped me to loosen up the tight muscles and strengthen the weak ones.  She also noticed that I had an unnatural gait to my walk and corrected that.  This has helped me to enjoy walking for fitness again!  Thanks so much Allison!”

“I initially came to Allison for strength training and for help in restoring mobility and strength to my shoulder after an old injury.  She has helped me immensely with these goals as well as others in a varied training program tailored to my needs as they evolve.  Additionally, Allisonʼs passion for healthy living has made me much more conscious about where my food comes from and how it is produced.  She is caring, knowledgeable, and brings a lot of fun to the workout.”

“I wanted you to know that I have forwarded your email and website around to several people at the office, and everyone is really impressed with the things that can be done just through diet alone.   I  wanted you to know people were so impressed with you, and I have to say that I am more impressed with you than most of my doctors. 

It’s often that some practitioners either do not listen, do not know, therefore discarding information, or provide misinformation – based on what is best for 90% of all cases, however, many cases do not fit inside the box and so some doctors end up treating people for things they may not even have. “
