I’m Ally! I am a third grade teacher, a personal trainer, and a group exercise HIIT and strength instructor! I grew up staying active through competitive gymnastics, but after multiple injuries I gave it up in high school. After getting out of an unhealthy relationship in high school, I fell in love with working out and taking care of my body (after all, it’s the only one I’m going to get). Working out and going to the gym became therapeutic and my escape from stress, and I loved trying new workouts and ways to spice up my workouts. I’ve done barre, Zumba, strength training, HIIT, cycling, and yoga! I love how many opportunities there are to exercise and keep your body guessing. Trying different workouts has also made working out more fun (even when you’re laughing through your first yoga class, trying to stay balanced in warrior 3).
When the pandemic started in 2020, I decided to get certified and expand my knowledge of fitness. I got ISSA certified in October 2020, and have since started my own online coaching and fitness challenges, as well as started coaching group exercise HIIT classes at the Harrisburg YMCA, and Build and Burn classes at Activ Fitness. I love sharing my love for fitness and taking care of myself with others, and helping my clients find time to meet their fitness goals when they think they don’t have the time. I still actively do HIIT, Barre, strength training, and yoga. I look forward to continuing to increase my knowledge of fitness and wellness to be the best version of myself I can be, while sharing my love of fitness with others!
