Personal training with Ali

Hi i'm Ali!

I love helping clients get results. Seeing the transformations in their bodies and general health is very rewarding.

I’ve been a personal trainer since 2009 and have worked with clients who have had a variety of different goals. Weight loss, muscle gain, strength, mobility, recovering from injuries, training for endurance events such as marathons, cycling, rowing races and triathlons.

After becoming a mum and dealing with numerous issues during pregnancy and after both boys were born I have qualified as a pre and postnatal trainer. Since then I have helped mums and mums to be with all the changes that come with pre and post natal training.

My sporting background has mainly been rowing, cycling and triathlons. Now as a mum of two little ones, I’ve had to change my training and sports to suit my lifestyle. Training morning and evening six days a week as a rower doesn’t quite fit the family lifestyle! My body also needed a different style of training after giving birth. Rebuilding and strengthening the pelvic floor and deep core have been crucial to me coming back and having a much stronger foundation than I did before becoming a mum.

I’m driven to help my clients live a healthier lifestyle. Most of us know we should be eating, training and living in a healthier way, my job is to be your accountability partner to help you achieve it.

Testimonials from the Energise family

*Please note these body transformations can not be guaranteed and can vary with clients lifestyle.

"Ali has a great technique of making you feel comfortable during the session with her easy going warm personality so you don’t notice you are actually being worked to capacity!  I couldn’t ask for anyone better because she understands how to get the best out of me and even after a hard day’s work and I don’t really want to exercise I always feel better when I have, No matter what your age, take it from an ex couch potato that  Ali is a great person to help you improve not only your level of fitness but the quality of your life – and you only get one!"

Carol

"I’m thrilled with the difference training with Ali has made to my life. I feel healthier than I ever have. Her friendly and dedicated methods are what makes Energise stand out from the rest."

Orlando

"Ali is a great trainer who in a strong quiet way, gets you to do things you did not think possible. She is reliable, organised and great fun to work out with. She has now also trained my sons (one after injury) and we all hold her in high regard. I have no hesitation in recommending Ali to you."

Eta

"Ali’s careful handling, constant encouragement, continual pushing me just enough to make it hurt, yet keeping me motivated, has created a desire within me to get and stay fit. As a result, with careful eating, (not any fad diets) the weight has steadily come off. Ali’s support, patience, good humour and encouragement as well as her obvious expertise have all contributed towards any achievement I have made and I can only recommend her without reservation."

Howard

"I have stacks more energy and feel happier in myself. My boyfriend is loving the change too – both my new shape and self-confidence. Worth every penny. A big thank you to Ali and all her hard work, advice and support.  She is fab and I can’t recommend her enough."

Libby

"Training sessions with Ali are a proper workout and incredibly good fun. She has got me over an injury I had given up thinking I could recover from, improved my running performance, my posture, given me confidence, and in general I enjoy all the sports I do all the more because of what she’s done for me. She is incredibly knowledgeable, great fun and tailors our sessions to how we feel, what we need, and what we really enjoy. As a result, you really make progress. I couldn’t recommend her more – she’s brilliant."
