Testimonials From Clients
Mark Harris
Allie has been helping me build strength following a year of knee issues. Extremely knowledgeable in so many areas (I spend most of my sessions picking her brains!) from strength training to endurance sports training, massage, acupuncture and much much more. A real life “one stop shop”. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Allie.
Ana Pereira
Allie has taught me the love for resistance training! The sessions are always fun and motivating. With Allie I conquered some nice challenges but also she has been in my corner through long frustrating injury periods. Allie will always find something that can be done, keeping the morale up and making you feel strong. I can whole heartily say that since starting working with Allie I feel stronger both physically and mentally! I would recommend 100% RedAlert PT.
Harry Charlier
Allie is kind, caring and is very knowledgeable. She understands that playing a sport is part of someone’s life and applies a method that is based around getting you back doing the sport you love rather than a avoid all approach. She is very knowledgeable and would recommend her to anyone, she is the best. Since finding her she has help me move pain free for a variety of injuries i have got through rugby and now CrossFit👌
Lyndsey White
I needed a PT to teach me how to lift safely when I was starting my strength training. Ali listened carefully to my reasons for wanting to train, what I wanted to achieve and devised a plan accordingly. She took care to consider my busy lifestyle and workload, and devised a plan accordingly. Her knowledge in how to lift safely is immense and her guidance has stayed with me so that when I’m in the gym I can stay safe whilst getting stronger. Ali was also really welcoming of my 10 year old when I was struggling for childcare and included him in our sessions which he lived. Highly recommended PT!
Andrew Maher
Very professional sports massage in a well set up studio , Allie has helped to keep me running and injury free after numerous Marathons I’ve done this year and good number of miles in my legs .
David Blank
Allie is, to be blunt, brilliant.
I was looking to do an endurance cycle event, Chase the Sun, and she mapped out the plan, helped with personal training and was brilliant guide through the whole epic adventure.
We are firm friends and i would highly recommend her to anyone who is doing any form of swim / bike / run or combination. She will tailor to what you need and give you excellent support on your Journey!
thanks Allie
Noah Mosely
I had a fantastic deep tissue sports massage from red alert. It really helped with shoulder pain and general stiffness from weights and life and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Sam Adkins
I’ve been coached by Allie for a number of years now and each year we’ve worked better together. Excellent sessions with clear progression but fits in with what I enjoy doing. Has always known what I’ve needed and expertly balances the hard work with genuine care and compassion. I’ve learnt so much about how to get the best out of myself and my sport. Thank you Allie !
Gary Hoffman
I went to see Allie at Red Alert for sports massages for a couple of different issues. Love that she combines acupuncture with deep tissue massage! Great results, thanks.
Emily Taylor
Before working with Allie, I was putting in the training hours and had secured myself a GB age group place but somehow juggling training with four young kids always made me feel like I was winging it. Allie’s qualifications, expertise and structured training plans meant that within a couple of months of working with her, the hours were delivering results and my times – and confidence in myself – were showing marked improvement.
Allie’s approach is just right for me. She understands the conflicts of daily life and juggling training around children and she is just so down to earth. What’s more her experience and racing history means she’s perfectly placed to prepare me for my future goals as she’s done them all herself.
Vanessa Christou
Allie is great. Professional, puts you at ease and very good at what she does. Highly recommend 👍
Rachael Haslar
I initially went to Allie for some PT sessions to complement the marathon training program I had started. Soon after meeting Allie it was obvious that I could get the whole package from her and she quickly had me on a personalised training program alongside the PT sessions. She is highly knowledgeable and a great source for advice and information on all things fitness and health related. Her previous professional background and educational qualifications really complement the PT work. She is fun and engaging to be around and her sessions leave you feeling energized and motivated, I have not only met a great PT but a new friend too!
Ina Ivanova
Allie’s sports massage helped me feel so much better after a very intensive CrossFit challenge. It was just what my body needed. Not only she is a true professional with a great knowledge and expertise, but she is such a positive person and time spent with her is therapeutic. I love that she is always looking to improve her knowledge and skills.
I definitely recommend her services!
Leanne Sheldon
Great sports massage, really sorted out my post marathon legs!
Dave Oh
I would recommend Allie for sports massage whole heartedly. Very welcoming and genuinely knows her stuff on injuries and has really sorted me out a few times. A pleasant in house gym studio which is covid free too.
Gareth Parker
Fantastic bespoke run coaching and targeted strength and conditioning, would highly recommend.
Gillian Jubb
Allie provided excellent sports massage to my daughter yesterday, as she always does. This time, helping her to move her back more freely. Allie’s frequent massages are keeping my daughter able to do the sports she loves. I would highly recommend her.
Simon Adkins
I met Allie in 2016 and she has single handedly changed my life. OK so a bit of an exaggeration but she is thorough and professional, funny when needed and exacting when it comes to training plans and execution. Allie got me from being able to suffer a 10km run to look forward to running and complete my first half marathon in 4 months. That’s 4 months worth of training not 4 months to complete the 21.1km. In coming years I’m looking forward to further improvements in my performance and more importantly to enjoy training. Thanks, you are fab.
Alex Krotosky
Signed up for sports massage pre my first marathon. Would definitely return, no complaints, quality service and enjoyable chat!
Paul Orange
Allie was the first coach I ever worked with. I started working with Allie for her to help my running, and in particular, to get me through my first ultramarathon, after deciding to take the step up from the 26.2 mile distance. As well as regular sessions 1:1 with Allie, working on my strength and endurance, she gave me a structured running program to get me used to the longer distances. The real icing on the cake was that Allie and her husband came to to support me, and even run some sections with me on the race itself, and yes, I managed to step directly from marathon up to 100k distance! I’d highly recommended Allie to anyone looking to take their performance to the next level.
David Hennessey
Highly recommend going to see Allie from RedAlert PT. She is very professional and welcoming. I saw her for a sports massage and i must say her set up is brilliant not just for a massage but for personal training sessions too. I felt very comfortable there and will definitely book another session with her.

Trish Gormley
I had been running for a long time, and been involved in triathlon for just a few years, when I took the plunge and signed up for my first IM70.3 in 2018. I decided to find a coach to help me achieve this, a coach who needed to be just right for me as a person, a terrified but excited first timer who was full of uncertainty but fully committed. In addition to this I hoped that I wasn’t pushing my luck in trying to find a female coach who could relate to and empathise with the physical and emotional changes and challenges that women face.
Allie has everything I was looking for and more! Not only does she have all the necessary qualifications and qualities I was looking for in a female coach, she has an invaluable scientific background with numerous personal achievements and passion for triathlon which underpin her knowledge, experience and work ethic.
I can’t thank Allie enough for coaching me to my first IM70.3 and I’m currently enjoying her coaching me to two more next year.
Paul Hutt
I can’t recommend Allie highly enough for this (marathon training). I managed to get my particularly non- athletic body round this year’s London Marathon in a time I was pretty happy with given the heat, and the massive help and support Allie gave me throughout training made the world of difference.
Phil Coates
Allie is a great coach who helped me cycle 150 miles and walk the same distance in the space of 2 weeks. Think I might be back next year as I’ve set myself another challenge!!!
Francesca Scott
A great coach and personal trainer with massive knowledge base and motivating techniques. Her PT sessions got me back into running after a (very) long break and helped me to run two half marathons and complete a triathlon. A definite recommendation!
Naomi Rigby
After having children relatively close together and doing no exercise for a few years I didn’t know where to begin. I started weekly PT with Allie and ended up continuing for a whole year, it was totally brilliant. Very tailored, structured and really works. She is just the nicest person too. Felt like it was both physical and mental therapy!
Rachael Haslar
I initially went to Allie for some PT sessions to complement the marathon training program I had started.

She is highly knowledgeable and a great source for advice and information on all things fitness and health related. Her previous professional background and educational qualifications really complement the PT work. She is fun and engaging to be around and her sessions leave you feeling energised and motivated, I have not only met a great PT but a new friend too!
Helena Bowen
I began PT sessions with Allie as I had lost my enthusiasm for exercise. Allie helped me find my enjoyment of training again by making tough sessions fun! My fitness increased and overall I felt better about myself. The RedAlert studio is a fantastic place to train with lots of equipment but with the personal touch.
Chrissy Tichler
After two babies and hitting a rut with my own attempts at getting fit and weight loss, I decided to look at PT options. Being a little reluctant at the thought of the cost and being bossed around by a stereotypical gym buff, I was hugely relieved when I met Allie.
Her obvious knowledge of health and fitness, immediate enthusiasm (and reasonable rates) made me at ease and look forward to starting.
Allie worked with me to set stretching but realistic goals and helped make sensible and achievable lifestyle changes (so no crazy fad diets and I can still eat chocolate) in order to understand not just my own but the whole family’s food and exercise habits. Through Allies enthusiasm, motivation and mixing up the exercise (from kick boxing to running to weights) I have amazingly started enjoying exercise, working out for fun rather than as a chore.
So. The bottom line… In less than 5 months Allie has helped me lose 8kg(!) and two dress sizes(!) but more importantly I feel healthier and happier in myself. Awesome! Thanks Allie!
Would I recommend her? YES!
James Tichler
I’ve really enjoyed working with Allie to rediscover training and fitness building after a long time of not having it as a focus in my life. It feels really good to have the body firing on all cylinders again and Allie has provided me with a really positive atmosphere in which to do this. Not pushy, but certainly bands full of encouragement. Bring it!
Alexa Marenghi
I went to Allie for PT sessions as well as her group training sessions when I had my first baby, and I am so glad I did. I lost all my baby weight within 5-6 months, but the classes also gave me my confidence back and helped me meet other mummy friends. It was so good being able to take my baby with to all the classes as when you are breast feeding, you don’t really get a chance to exercise otherwise. I highly recommend these sessions and will be going back after I’ve had my second.
Tracey Bravo
Loved Allie’s classes and the fact I could take my little boy. Everyone was in the same boat so it ever mattered if your baby was being slightly disruptive as the class was designed to take that into account. Sometimes I had to squat whilst holding my baby instead of the actual exercise and that was never a problem. Allie, a mum herself know exactly what challenges we face and I would recommend her classes to anyone.
Zaza Scanlon
Love the Buggy Fitness session that the team offers in St Albans town centre. Great atmosphere to come back, to exercising and alternative “options” during workout are provided depending on your recovery/stage, and fitness ability. Spacious and fun!!! Thanks xx
Gemma Jones
Myself and my two daughters absolutely love Allie’s classes. Being indoors at Fitness First is an absolute winner, as you don’t have to worry about the weather. Babies are entertained in a safe environment and toddlers can run around to their hearts content, safe in the knowledge that they can’t escape the gym!
Classes are great for getting your fitness back after having a baby, with the weights, steps etc being used at the gym so you can really push yourself to loose weight and regain confidence.
Melanie Mack
Allie is one of the most inspirational ladies I’ve met.
She is relentlessly positive, incredibly encouraging and also very approachable and not scary which is always my fear with anything to do with exercise. She’s been a huge part of my weight loss and exercise journey this year and I’d recommend her to anyone who is thinking about taking that step towards being more active. She’ll get you there, and make you feel great about the journey.
Margaret McClory
I joined Allie with my daughter just over two months ago as we were both in need of motivation and expert guidance. I haven’t looked back and really enjoy the sessions. I have found Allie to be very knowledgeable both with nutrition and exercise and very inspiring. There are too many positives to list here. What I can say is, if you are thinking of using a Personal Trainer, give Allie a go – I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
Lisa Turnbull
Allie pointed me in the right direction, suggesting a different diet and alternative exercise to what I would usually do. This has resulted in an overall weight loss of 14lbs over a couple of months.
