About Alaina E. Oneill

Your body hears everything that your mind says\", so as a trainer it is my job to strengthen and support both in strength building, endurance, and progress. I\'ve trained athletes since 2006 in three different countries and have worked with the general public with strength, flexibility, and endurance since 2017. I genuinely believe that the athlete is always within us so whether you are new to fitness or are a professional athlete, we can build and define to reach your goals. Getting \"into shape\" or whatever your health and fitness goals may be are not just about following a protocol when you train with Ali. It is about understanding the concepts and progressions we go through. It isn\'t about a meal plan, it is about understanding the foundations of nutrition so you can make decisions of how best to care for your body and reach toward your goals. Too often fitness and diets are just prescribed without proper education and knowledge for people to know the why of what they are doing. Not here. As a STEM degree holder and future Doctor of Physical Therapy I ensure my athletes and clients understand not only the \"what\" and \"how\" of the programs I design for them, but the \"WHY\". I want my clients to succeed and once they reach their goal they can maintain their desired fitness (on their own if they choose) or build new goals to crush and exceed. Programs are a combination of unique, dancer/gymnastics specific exercises and tested tried and true exercises (did some one say weightlifting?). Mixing it up gives our body a variation of body movements and plenty of muscle activation while keeping it fresh and fun for the mind! Nutritional guidance is available as well as an introduction to foundation nutrition principles. We\'re not about fitness one-off\'s; we are about sustained lifestyle changes and education to build strength, confidence, endurance, stabilization, and nutritional value.
