  • Ally spent 7 years working with a physical therapist and acupuncturist to hone her therapeutic exercise skills. After moving to California's central coast, she became a full-time personal trainer and exercise instructor. Always trying to stay at the cutting edge of research, Ally is currently studying to the CSCS exam.
  • In 2019, Ally became a stage 3 cancer survivor. Unfortunately, the months of chemo, radiation, and surgery have made her an expert in terms of cancer experiences. This phase in Ally's life taught her to slow down and allowed her to hone in on her writing skills.
  • Ally jokes that she has been writing a book for a decade — but it's true! A natural-born writer, she loves feeling deeply and constructing sentences to convey stories and emotions. Ally strives to grow as a fitness writer every day.
