ABOUT ALI
Hello!
I'm Alejandra, but every one calls me "Ali".
I've been a fitness trainer for over 35 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 son in Vancouver, Canada near the beach, where I like to go daily.
CLASSES
CORE CONNECTION
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.
FOAM & BALL ROLLING CLASS
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. Equipment needed: foam roller and a massage ball, see HERE
PILATES
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.
STRETCH & RELAX
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.
WEIGHTS CLASS
This quick 30-minute class is a great alternative to the weight room. We use hand & ankle weights to build full body strength: arms, shoulders, back, chest, butt, legs and particularly the knees. Working with weights you will see improvements quickly.
