She found the gym intimidating and decided to hire a trainer and learn the "right way" to perform weight lifting exercises. After a few years, she was introduced to power lifting and began competing. Alison competed from 2004 through 2016, and currently holds multiple state records and the title of world champion. After several years of being a competitive power lifter, Alison decided that she wanted to help others reach their fitness goals and live healthier lives.
