Meet Aly
Q: What motivates you to stay fit?
I really believe that this question evolves with time. When I was in my teenage years I was motivated through sports. In my 20’s my motivation was to compete in bikini competitions and also study to receive my first personal certification. My 30’s, my motivation was inspired to be fit and healthy through my three pregnancies. Now that I am in my 40’s I try to help motivate my children to pursue fitness in their lives. I also do it for myself…. That might sound selfish, but I do it because I love it and I want to be the best version of myself.
Q: What is your favorite type of workout?
Oh, that is a tough one. My clients would probably say that I love High Intensity functional workouts. Workouts that will really make you exhausted and sweaty. I do however love ALL types of workouts. I will always love running.
Q: What is your best piece of fitness advice?
Be consistent. Find a reason to move, then find a workout that you love. Its much easier to workout when you enjoy what you do.
Q: Why do you use Stroops?
I use Stroops because I love the versatility of the equipment. I can change the type of training style simply by using a different product. It is so fun building new programs to teach my clients, and Stroops allows me to do that. Each time a new product comes out, its my new favorite. It makes my job as a trainer creative and new.
