I offer a variety of sessions to suit your needs, including in-person, in-home sessions in NYC, remote/virtual sessions, and Pilates apparatus sessions at a location on the Upper West Side. My name is Alison Machabee, and I'm a dancer, personal trainer, artist, therapist-in-training, and lover of all things movement. My credentials include certification as a Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, Perinatal-Prenatal-Postnatal Pilates Instructor, and Yoga Instructor. I have also earned a BFA in Dance Performance, a BBA in Business Management, and I am currently pursuing an MA in Couple and Family Psychotherapy.
My training philosophy emphasizes balance and joy. I strive to meet my clients where they are, helping them to enjoy exercise while building strength, toning up, losing weight, and/or learning to love moving their bodies. In every session, I bring my holistic approach, positive attitude, and a knack for a good challenge.
As a trainer, I offer a range of fitness options, including Strength & Cardio, Pilates, Yoga, Movement Therapy, Corrective Exercise (for back, knee & joint issues), Post-Physical Therapy Training, Prenatal, Postnatal, and Perinatal Pilates. My goal is to provide Joy, Connection, and Healing in every session.

Alison is a phenomenal trainer, characterized by compassion, thoughtfulness, and an appropriate amount of firmness. She personalizes my workouts to align with my physical abilities while simultaneously integrating my objectives into her training program. Even on the days when I am sluggish and unenthusiastic about exercising, I am invariably content and spent after a session with her. I confidently endorse her services to anyone in need of a competent and proficient trainer.
