Alissa Walters
Trainer & Wellness CoachAlissa Walters is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Wellness Coach (CWC), and Nutrition Coach (CNC) with specialized training in weight-loss medications.
A corporate executive, wife, and mother of two, Alissa understands how difficult it can be to prioritize your health while balancing the demands of a busy life. After taking back control of her own health and wellness, she was inspired to help others do the same.
Alissa’s greatest strength as a coach is helping clients turn good intentions into meaningful action by taking time to understand what motivates each person, help them connect with their “why,” and identify obstacles. Together, they work through those barriers without judgment and without allowing them to become excuses.
Her coaching is individualized, progressive, and grounded in proper form and movement quality. Each program is designed to improve strength, mobility, balance, endurance, and confidence at a pace that supports the client’s needs and goals.
Alissa doesn’t simply tell clients what to do. She helps them understand why they are doing it and gives them the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to keep moving forward. Her style is honest, straightforward, supportive, and free of judgment.
Above all, Alissa believes that spending time on your wellness is one of the best investments you can make. By clearing the path to each client’s wellness goals—one session and one obstacle at a time—she makes the process attainable to ensure that it’s sustainable.
