    Meet our Trainer Spotlight, Alison! . Q: What is your best coaching habit? A: Probably the amount of time, effort and attention to detail that I program into every workout. I want every class to be unique, perfect and fun, which means I put a ton of pressure on myself when programming. . Q: What is your worst coaching habit? A: So many to choose from! I think maybe my best and worst trait go hand in hand. Between my ADD and self-diagnosed OCD, I sometimes overthink and over complicate my workouts, which can occasionally lead to chaos. . Q: What is your favorite movement? A: I’m a big fan of a DB snatch and KB swings. And I actually really love Turkish get ups but refuse to program them for a HIIT style class- that’s one move that I’m super OCD about people learning the correct form and there isn’t enough time in a class to coach it the way it needs nor is it something that should ever be done for speed. . Q: What is your favorite cheat meal? A: I don’t love the term “cheat meal” because I don’t believe in “dieting” and don’t typically hold myself to any sort of strict standards with my diet. I try to follow the 80/20 rule and eat really clean, natural, organic food (lots of veggies, protein, healthy fat and some fruit) 80% of the time, and then let myself relax and enjoy that other 20% of the time. Which btw, I could live off pizza, tacos, and ice cream (and wine) if I let myself. 🍕🌮🍨🍷 . Q: Why did you start coaching fitness? A: I’ve always been into fitness and working out my entire adult life, but I kind of fell into coaching. I started at Atlas as a member winter '12, and then by that fall I was working at the desk, and the following spring I was getting my first coaching certification and started coaching. Since then I haven’t really looked back and have really turned a hobby into a passion and a job, now after 6+ years, I can’t imagine not coaching. . Q: What is a little known fact about you? A: I kind of feel like I’m an open book... maybe I’m nicer than I look?! Or that I’m a diehard Britney Spears fan, but that’s not exactly a surprise if you’ve been in any of my classes ever. I did tae kwon do as a kid and can do a killer roundhouse kick. Congratulations to Coach Sammy Basar and former member Michael Gontarek on getting 3rd place out of 24 teams at the Battle at the Brewery this past weekend!
