“The first consultation with Ally convinced me that it was the right step to take. We chatted through my goals and the things I was struggling with at the time. She gave me hope that I could actually turn things around and become stronger and fitter. She also took the time to chat through external issues (work, routine, stress, etc.) that were affecting my health and my motivation to be healthier.

 

Ally has helped me to grow in confidence. I feel much more capable and motivated when it comes to exercising. I have lost some weight and noticed that my body feels stronger and fitter and my flexibility has improved too. As a result, I struggle a lot less with neck stiffness and pain. She is very encouraging and supportive, but also pushes me to try things even if they intimidate me. She has helped me to understand the correct way to do exercises so that they have the best effect”

 

“Ally is very knowledgeable on all aspects of fitness and has an invaluable understanding of nutrition and how it impacts our general health. From being someone who was afraid of using the gym, I now look forward to my weekly sessions (most of the time) with Ally. Best coach ever!”

 

“I love going to Ally's sessions. She is always super positive and throws out negative talk immediately. I always come away super pumped. I would highly recommend her as a personal trainer.”

 

“On a daily basis, I now know it's important to know what I'm eating and how I can watch what I eat.  Since beginning training I have learned a lot about health and fitness and overall I just really enjoy training, Ally always has great conversation and I always have fun when training.”

 

“I have made changes which are not only beneficial to my own physical & mental health, but also positively impact the climate and sustainability issues of our time. I have ‘dabbled’ with minimising consumption of animal based produce, recycling & minimising waste but am now happy to say I have, with Ally’s guidance, been able to transition to a mostly plant based, wholefood diet, making my own nut milk and taking fish and eggs only occasionally. I am not hungry, feel 100% satisfied and am loving the experimental phase of trying new dishes/recipes and feel decidedly healthier with the added benefit of a lighter conscience, knowing that I am doing my little bit to add to the collective big bit.

 

I am lighter, quite literally - not the focus, but a great by-product of all the above - I have lost many cm’s and discovered new things about myself - I love the weight lifting element of my training - all of which is giving me the confidence to push on - who knows where this will take me - hopefully, I’ll lead a longer, healthier and happier life and be a better role model for my kids 🙏 Muchas gracias, guapa!”

"Ally’s vast number of skills and passion for life is truly infectious! For years she has supported me in making changes to my diet and health with amazing results -  I feel invigorated! I have finally found a sustainable healthier lifestyle under Ally’s care.  Thoroughly recommended."

​

“I started PT sessions with Ally in September ’16, because I was convinced that I was so out of shape that I’d never manage a boot camp style group class. I now do a PT session on a weekly basis and then join a couple of the group early morning sessions.   My general fitness has improved significantly,I could barely manage one burpee before and now I can knock-out 20… although I still don’t like them!  I’ve also gained an appreciation of weight training. I like that Ally mixes it up, I’m not clock watching during the session thinking that it’s a routine.I love that she’s flexible and can scale exercises as needed. She also keeps me going when I’m flagging.”

“I've only recently started training with Ally.  I am utilising her PT and nutrition services to primarily lose weight and get fitter.  I find her approach is exactly what I need in that she's fair, she understands my needs and constraints and is always at the end of a text or phone when I need her advice.  She has created a really great gym programme and knows my limits, but pushes me just that little bit more than I would training alone, which is exactly what I need.  She's fun and friendly but nicely firm when needed and has great nutritional knowledge.  I've learnt so much already about this amazing human body in such a short space of time."

“I’ve been training with Ally for 10 months or so, attending group training sessions at 5:45am three days a week.  I’ve gained a love for working out and a desire to better my physical self!  It’s rigorous yet fun; Allyson has a great attitude, and a sense of humour!  I really like the small group sessions (3 to 6 people) allowing  personal training session attention!  It’s a good group of people to work out with and compatible for all levels of fitness.”

“Hi, my name is Regina and I've been coming to Ally's group session for the past two months. I've always known about the anatomy of muscles from text books but since attending Ally's classes.... "I've come to know each and every muscle up close and personal".  Seriously though, the classes are very rewarding.”

Regina, Group Training (March 2017)

 

“I’ve been training with Ally since July 2016, firstly I group training classes and more latterly with personal training sessions too. I am stronger overall, with increased strength and muscle tone. I like the toughness of the training and that each session is different.”

Maria Swindon, Personal & Group Training (March 2017)

 

"About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia (a precursor to osteoporosis) due to a thyroid disorder inhibiting calcium absorption. I wanted to get back into strength training to help build bone density. My last scan showed a significant increase. The training with Ally is different every time, so it never gets boring and no chance of plateauing. It's been great."
