CERTIFIED
Hello!
I'm Alejandra, but every one calls me "Ali".
I've been a fitness trainer for 38 years,
I still can't believe it's been that long!
I'm passionate about health & fitness.
I strive to inspire people to be fit, healthy and happy!
I believe life is beautiful and we should enjoy ourselves as much as possible.
We can do that best in a healthy body.
My style is non-competitive and encouraging.
I like to create a sense of community in my classes.
I live with my husband and grown son in Vancouver, Canada
near the beach, where I like to go daily.
CLASSES
CORE CONNECTION Saturdays 10:30am PST
Improve your strength, posture and alignment in a full-body workout where every exercise is based in the core - the natural girdle that wraps around the waist flattening the belly and supporting the back. This class incorporates the use of hand weights and elements from Pilates all taught in a supportive non-competitive environment. All levels welcome. 1 hour class.
THERAPEUTIC FOAM & BALL ROLLING CLASS Fridays 10:30am PST
A satisfying class that will release tight muscles, knots and myofascial tissue (the thin tissue that holds the insides of our body together). It will increase flexibility, circulation (blood flow and oxygen), improve performance, reduce stress and even reduce cellulite. It will restore tissue so that the body can function as it should. 1 hour class. Equipment needed: foam roller and a massage ball, see HERE
PILATES Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays 9:00am PST
Pilates is a form of exercise done with concentration and control. It's a full body workout with no impact on the joints. The basis of Pilates is to build CORE strength - the girdle-like cylinder that wraps around the torso to support the back and bring the waistline in. It improves, alignment, balance, coordination, circulation, flexibility and posture. All levels welcome as options are given for each exercise. 1 hour class.
STRETCH & RELAX Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays 9:00am PST
Choreographed to beautiful music this rejuvenating class combines stretching techniques from exercise physiology, dance and yoga to lengthen muscles, improve range of motion, enhance balance and prevent injury. Stretch progressions are given making this class suitable for all flexibility levels. Not only great for the body but also wonderful for the mind. 1 hour class.
30 MINUTE FULL BODY EXPRESS WITH WEIGHTS Tuesdays & Thursdays 8:00am PST
A full body workout using hand and ankle weights. See and feel results quickly. Don't have ankle weights? No worries, come along, I will give you options. 30 min class.
