About Ali:
Ali graduated Springfield College in 2003 with a degree in exercise science. From there she worked for Velocity Sports Performance. She then began training people in her hometown of Greenwich, CT, which led her to specialize in golf fitness becoming a 2-time Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Fitness professional, as Greenwich had 9 golf clubs.
This brought her a primarily male clientele, and eventually landed her in the mens health arena. She lectures nationally and internationally on testosterone, TRT, and her approach to coaching men online. She has been featured in Muscle & Fitness, T-Nation, + various podcasts for her work in mens health. Certifications include CSCS, SFG, FMS, FRC, TPI.
Ali in her own words:
Hi, I’m Ali. I am a wife, dog mom, meathead, and I fucking love a good steak. And fast Jeeps. I normalize boner talk.
I help busy men get jacked, look great naked, optimize testosterone + conquer nutrition. I do this by helping guys sift through the bullshit and provide them with structure + a plan that works for their lifestyle.
I’m the one men hire when they have taken themselves as far as they can alone. I offer a highly unfiltered, truthful approach. I have coached thousands of attorneys, doctors, other coaches, CEO’s, executives, veterans, current military, and any dude looking to optimize his health.
I have a true passion for men’s health + have made it my life’s work to help dudes find the solutions to all their fitness nutrition + hormone needs.
