“I sought out a trainer because starving myself and working out excessively was not getting me the physique I wanted. I was really set in my ways and had a really toxic mindset about fitness. Alyssa listened to me and helped to coach my mindset and my body so that I could not only figure out what my real fitness goals were but also achieve them. I thought starving myself was the way to living my body, but I was very wrong.
By working with Alyssa, I now understand that what I really wanted was a strong physique. I have become stronger physically and emotionally and have cultivated a healthier mindset. Alyssa matches the trainings to your needs. She listens to your energy levels and any injuries you have and creates a personalized fitness plan. Alyssa changed my life. Had she but helped me through a truly detrimental mindset, I would not have the energy and vitality for life that I have now. I am a happier, healthier person from her guidance.”

“My sessions are uplifting. I walk away from them feeling like I had gone on vacation somewhere relaxing. I am much stronger now, I have better posture and I feel better about myself.”

“Alyssa is so knowledgeable and has a wonderful approach that makes you feel supported and empowered to take on your health.“

“[I] looked for personal trainers in the local area to partner with on this journey. I found Alyssa by searching online. Reached out to Alyssa because she looked like a good fit for me – really liked the mom spin so she knew what the realities of life as a mom was. [My sessions are] work – as they should be, but not out of reach. In the end, it feels energizing and satisfying and I am always glad to have done it. I achieved my goal of weight loss, grew stronger physically and more confident in my technique.”

“[I was] diagnosed with a rare disease that had left me with weakened muscles and not being able to get myself off the floor – very embarrassing. Letting myself “go” both physically and nutritionally left me feeling defeated and discouraged. Well, it just so happens, my daughter, found Alyssa on Instagram, started going to her and from the beginning, she said, “mom, I think she would be perfect for you”. I texted Alyssa soon after and haven’t looked back!
I felt welcomed, validated and like I had known [Alyssa] forever. So welcoming, concerned and intrigued by my disease. Now let’s just say, I’m so not a fan of exercising at all! Mostly because it’s a reminder of what I cannot do and that’s where Alyssa comes into play! One, she knows exactly what my limitations are and has REALLY been so innovative on finding things I CAN DO! Two, she’s so darn encouraging and will remind me of my accomplishments. One of the biggest cheerleaders I have. I mean, who jumps up and down, clapping, with pure excitement when I’ve mastered an easy for most, kind of skill??!! And three, the time just flies by. I’m amazed of all we can do in the time allotted. I’ve had some of the best conversations with her. She has creeped (in a good way) into my life and my heart.
[Now] I can get myself off the floor!!! For me, that is HUGE!! I feel confident. I feel stronger. I feel I’ve accomplished, though they maybe baby steps, some moves and strength training exercises that were a challenge in the past. [Alyssa] has given me many ideas and advice on getting back on track, nutrition wise-I’m motivated to finally start with more enthusiasm than I’ve had before. I feel I’ve I new lease on life. I feel blessed and highly favored to have met Alyssa and beyond thankful, to the Big Kahuna, for bringing her into my life. I can’t believe, I, Maria Mackenzie, actually enjoy working out and look forward to my sessions with the greatest trainer I know-and believe me, I’ve had my share!
Thank you to this entire crew because, it takes a village! You’ve changed my life in so many ways! I’ll be a fan and participate for life!”

“[I] needed motivation and wanted a more structured workout that didn’t involve belonging to a gym. [Alyssa] pushes me but is very in tune with my body and how much to push. She is incredibly intuitive and able to instantly change up a specific exercise to adapt to injury or pain. I am stronger and feel more energetic after a workout. I have been a weightlifter for many years, am a former competitive body builder, and I’m an RN so I understand my body and body mechanics and physiology in general. Alyssa is the best and most knowledgeable trainer I have ever known. She truly cares about her clients and loves training and ensuring her clients accomplish their goals.”
Denise Beck
“When I first started with Alyssa I was in a lot of pain and could not get off the floor without help. I really didn’t think I could keep up but Alyssa would not give up! After five years I can do a push up! One of the most valuable lessons I have learned from Alyssa is no matter what happens or what bumps in the road come along, I am resilient. I can always come back from any set backs.”
Lori Badurek
“Alyssa is enthusiastic and very encouraging.. she has a vast knowledge of body mechanics .. and problem solves issue as they arise. [I am] much stronger – can physically can do things I haven’t been able to do for years. [I] have had way less back flare ups – and the few I’ve had, have been minor in comparison to before.”
Adriana F.
“[The OSM team] is great! I love that they are moms and relatable. I dislike many of the trainers online that are always overly positive and never share the bad stuff or feelings. Alyssa tells it like it is and is so down to earth. [The workouts are] Effective! They get my heart pumping she has really taught me to listen to my body.”
Denese S.
“I was wanting to work on my core strength since I could see myself getting weaker. [Alyssa] listened to what my needs were and started me where I could have success at each session. I am 73 and have more stability walking on uneven ground and can get up easily from the floor.”
Anne B.
“I was frustrated that my attempts to lose weight and get stronger were going nowhere. I heard about [Alyssa] from a friend that was already signed up. Alyssa does a lot to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I had a lot of anxiety and major body image issues. She was nice, understanding and caring. In that first session I felt like she really listened to what I wanted to accomplish and really dialed in on where I was at physically before deciding on a regimen.
[My sessions are] amazing, encouraging. When I don’t feel like I’m making progress she is very quick to point out how much I have improved. She understands that people have lives outside of training and that sometimes we can push harder than other times and she is very cognizant of that fact. Pushing when you’re physically/mentally/scheduling able to and reigning in when you need it. I feel more confident, stronger, more energized and actually look forward to working out.”
Sara Pacheco
“I was a new mom struggling with my body and having a lot of pelvic floor issues. As well as living in an aging achey body. Alyssa was real, warm and welcoming. As a plus size woman I found myself intimidate with the typical “gym’ vibe and was a little nervous but Alyssa never made me feel any certain way about my body and lack of physical abilities.
[My sessions are] customized. Each session my body would have a particular need due to an ache or pain and Alyssa would adjust in the moment to support my needs and keep me going! I have lost 30 lbs, gained so much muscle and reshaped my body. Alyssas continues to encourage me and help me set and reach new goals.”

“[I] wanted more of a personal one on one program and to prevent injury as I got older. [Alyssa] listened and adapted. [She] didn’t make me feel bad for my current life choices around food and exercise.
[Sessions] are tailored to what my goals are and what I am able to do. [She] has really put thought into different ways to accomplish goals with my limitations from surgery. I felt stronger and more stable. OSM is not just a trainer. It’s like a friend that holds you accountable and understands that real life can get in the way. Exercises and plans are tailored to you and your life, it is not a cookie cutter program. Exercises are always changing to work on different areas or adapt to your progress. The environment is great for those that don’t feel comfortable in standard gyms.”
Cherie O.
“I sought out a trainer because I am not disciplined enough to do it on my own. I like structure and having someone work with me. If I have an appointment I will go, where as if I don’t I always say “I will go tomorrow”.
[I] loved Alyssa the first time, great energy and having trainers in the past I felt Alyssa knew what I was looking for in a trainer. My training sessions are excellent, focused on my needs. I am an older female and my focus probably is different from a younger female. I also play a lot of tennis so keeping my body and core strong is important. I feel great and feel strong!”
