Client Testimonials
"I cannot say enough good things about the coach that Alycia is! Her ability and willingness to accommodate my crazy work and travel schedule has been imperative to being able to maintain a consistent workout routine - this has in turn helped me to see some of the best results I have in a long time! I feel stronger, faster and just overall better.” Bri, Lexington"I started working with Alycia to prep me for the rigors of officer school in USMC. She fixed my running form along with significantly decreasing my time, upping my pull-ups, and building overall strength. I then started working with her for sport training in martial arts and she was able to easily pivot and adapt to my needs. I’ve never been stronger and am only getting better working with her."
