Calling Alison a fitness instructor or personal trainer isn't doing her justice. She's more like a fitness guru. Her scope of knowledge is vast and deep, encompassing an expertise in many training methods, injury rehab, and nutrition. She will take the time to fully understand where you are in your fitness narrative and figure out how to help you meet your goals. Even her group classes really accommodate the needs and levels of each individual. I've taken HIIT classes and large group pilates classes elsewhere and the quality of her instruction is on a completely different level. Before working with Alison, I had been feeling held back by injuries that were brought on by age and an imbalanced training routine. Working with her has helped me overcome that and feel empowered. She has a wonderful combination of being practical, challenging, and compassionate. She does a great job of cultivating community and connection in her group classes, which makes for a truly fun and motivating atmosphere. She's also a genuinely caring person who works hard to build up not just the people around her but Oakland as a whole....more

Alison is exactly the kind of trainer I needed. I am not an exercise person but she is just the right balance of tough love and kind support that keeps me motivated and coming back. And she is a great storyteller and conversationalist so your time with her flies by. I highly recommend Alison to anyone, she is able to meet you exactly where you are- newbie or experienced!...more

I really enjoyed my time with my trainer, and I love that there are ways to save a little while meeting others! (Who I still hang out with outside of fitness, by the way.) I was taking the Pilates group classes at the same time, and I realized that the personal training was really helping me there as well! I could hear their voice in my head in class and used it alongside the feedback I got from Pilates class as well. My trainer gave me a lot of great attention, the note taking was very new to me and helped my development a lot. I had to stop due to personal reasons, but I still keep in touch and will hopefully be able to join back up soon so I can get back towards my fitness goals. Allison is wonderful, I can’t wait to return to the community she’s created....more

Alison has been an incredible instructor and a huge part of my Pilates journey. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, she has a rare ability to meet you exactly where you are and guide you thoughtfully through each stage of growth. She doesn’t just teach movements — she builds confidence, awareness, and strength step by step.
When I first joined, I knew absolutely nothing about Pilates. The terminology, the movements, the techniques — it all felt new and intimidating. Alison made it approachable. She explains things clearly, corrects form with care, and challenges you in a way that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
One year in, I feel comfortable, stronger, and noticeably more flexible. The progress has been real, and a big part of that is her structured, patient, and encouraging guidance. I’m genuinely grateful to have started this journey with her leading the way....more
