Client Testimonials
“At age 51, I was eating "healthy" and doing HIIT workouts five days a week (for years). I thought I was in good shape but began to notice my midsection profile changing; I started noticing a slight roundness appearing, not "fat" but moving towards it. Being someone who was always concerned with my body image, I decided to look into working with a personal trainer, which ended up falling through. After some networking, I was put in contact with Allie, which, it turns out, was the best decision I could have made. I knew that if I wanted to see a real change in my body, guessing my way through meal choices and exercise would not get me there; I needed someone who knew her stuff and came highly recommended. Well, with Allie, I got EXACTLY what I needed!
The plan, while being extremely detailed, was easy to follow. In addition to the meal plan, the workout plan was equally detailed and targeted all muscle groups and provided me with a much-needed change in the gym. Changing what and how I ate was no small task, especially after doing things the same way for most of my adult life. Allie, however, was there each step of the way, answering the loads of questions I had for her daily. Pants that hadn't seen the light of day for years were suddenly part of my wardrobe again, and a belt that routinely stayed on the fourth hole moved all the way down to the sixth notch. Allie and her expertise helped me tone, cut, and build, and the results became more apparent week by week.
I am rapidly approaching my fifty-second birthday and am in the best shape of my life, which I owe to Allie. Her knowledge and personal approach to health and fitness is beyond anything I could have hoped for. And, as an added bonus, my overall cholesterol level dropped by 106 points, my fasting blood sugar level and A1-C dropped, good cholesterol increased, and bad cholesterol decreased - and, as of writing this, I am not even done with the program!”

“Eight months ago I decided I wanted to compete in a body building competition. I spoke with people I knew had competed in the past and talked to a few coaches. A co-worker’s wife recommended her coach, Allie Esposito, out of Florida. I didn’t think having a coach out of state would work for me but I gave it a shot. I FaceTimed with Allie. We hit it off right away. I instantly felt comfortable with her and knew she was the coach for me! I signed up with her right away. Once I received my meal plans and exercise routines I was off and running. I enjoyed the food selection and the diverse workouts I was given. I had about a million questions along the way and Allie answered them all, no matter what time of day, and never made me feel like a bother. And, might I add, she was pregnant and delivered a baby girl all while coaching me!! I enjoyed every minute of this journey however challenging it was. I competed in 5 categories and won 5 trophies. I couldn’t have done it without Allie’s encouragement, guidance, and expertise. I plan to do it with Allie again next year!!”

"I'm a 67-year-old male who has tried many things to lose my belly fat and nothing seemed to work, including exercising and altering my diet. So I turned to Allie. Allie was able to provide me with a personalized diet plan and workout plan. I followed it religiously for 30 days and am totally happy with the results. I lost the belly, feel energetic, and I'm happy with myself. I'm very grateful to Allie, for tailoring my plan and always being available to answer all my questions. Thank you Allie!"
-John E., CT
"Allie has been amazing to work with. Very responsive with the million questions I throw at her. Her meal plan allowed me to get the most out of my workouts making adjustments along the way. I've been consistently getting stronger and I look and feel better than I ever have at almost 42 years old. Seven weeks away from my athletic competition and I feel like I'm ready to crush it!!! She is the real deal!!"
-Patrick M., CT
"It's easy to lose yourself in the day to day motions. Before you know it, you look in the mirror one day and don't even recognize who you are. At 4'11, 132 pounds that's where I was. I was unhappy, insecure, tired, and unmotivated. I don't think Allie could have made it any easier for me to get back on track. By creating a personalized plan tailored specifically to me, Allie has changed more than just my body in eight short weeks. I am happy, energetic, and empowered. I'm not going to say it was easy. I had moments of temptation. I was put in situations where it would have just been easier to give in and say "I'll try again tomorrow". But Allie was supportive, encouraging, understanding, and best of all, non-judgemental. I can honestly say this program is the best thing that I have ever done. It's not a quick fix, it's not a diet, and it's so much more than just weight loss. It's a lifestyle that I've come to love. With a program as fun and as versatile as this, I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. But now that I have, I can't imagine ever going back. Invest in yourself, I promise you it's worth it! Thank you Allie!"

"I started the F!T in 30 Day Challenge with Allie with the goal of eating better and remotivating myself for 2017. Like most i always thought just eat protein and no carbs and i'll lose body fat. Wow was i wrong, after a week i was down 7 lbs and 2 weeks down 13.5. Losing it so fast Allie had to adjust my diet to add even more carbs to focus on just fat loss and no more weight loss. I finished the program down 16.5 lbs and never felt better. Planning to start a new program with different goals soon!"
-Chris E., CT
"When I started competition prep I started with a shot in the dark. I knew I wanted to achieve a pretty big goal and I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I avoided getting a competition coach because honestly the cost. BUT I realized...as a health coach myself, I know the value a coach has to offer and how important it is to have a coach that is in your corner and knows what they are doing. I reached out to NO joke 6 coaches. Some never responded, some wouldn't talk with me or gave very vague answers, and some just down right told me that they would not work with me.
Allie far surpassed everything. She was so knowledgeable and consistent. She was always there when I needed her and also have personalized recommendations. She did not give cookie cutter responses that were disingenuous. She has become a good friend and amazing competition resource! I'm so blown away at her kindness and generosity!! Love you girl!! I can't wait to walk across the stage!! Thank you for making this such a positive experience!"

"Before starting this 30 day program, I was not feeling very good about my body and my physical health. Nothing fit the way it used to, and I felt disgusting in my skin (sounds harsh, but that’s the reality). The first few days were an adjustment period, but it was more manageable than I thought it would be because I could actually eat fruit early in the day and healthy fats in the evening. Dieting on my own, I was leaving out these essential food groups, and I was happy to see that I could enjoy most things in moderation. Seeing the progress in the last few days of the program, I can see that I was feeding my body what it needed to work to its full potential and the energy that I have gained is absolutely astonishing. I wake up alert and I don’t have that 2 pm crash any longer. My mood has been elevated and I feel like myself again. Thank you Allie! You have given me my life back."
-Sam B., CT
"I started this way of eating and exercising as a way to support my girlfriend, not thinking that I would see much in the way of results. The results I have seen have been amazing. My skinny jeans are now my fat pants. Everything fits or is just too big now. This has gotten both of us on the right path to a healthy lifestyle and we will continue to exercise and eat healthy as a result of this program. Thank you!"
-Steve S. (Sam's Husband), CT
"After letting my healthy eating and working out take a spot on the back burner due to an illness in the family, I needed some motivation. I had no issue getting back in the gym but I needed motivation and help with healthy eating. Allie made that possible and beyond easy with the food list she provided. The results were not only noticed by me, but by my family and friends. It was nice to hear "oh my god Bret, when did you get so skinny?!". The results were noticeable in the weekly pictures, which kept me motivated beyond belief! Allie was there every step of the way making sure I stayed on track. I would text her as late as 11 pm and as early as 7am, and I would get a response within minutes! If I was at work and didn't have equipment needed, she would give me an exercise to substitute it with. I truly commend Allie on her motivation to help others live such a healthy lifestyle!"
-Bret S., CT
"Allie has been amazing through this entire process! She provided an acceptable food list prior to the start of the challenge allowing me to grocery shop and meal prep to be ready for day one. She has been available the whole time to quickly answer any questions I had and never made me feel like there was a silly question.
Allie sets a great example by living a healthy lifestyle and shows that there are no excuses no matter how busy life is. I appreciate the pep talks and motivational text messages I received throughout the challenge but more importantly she has set me up to be able to continue to motivate myself and continue from here. I wasn't expecting to be a size 2 at the end of this I just wanted a jump start to be healthier...I am NOT a size 2 but I got better results than I imagined and now feel even more determined to continue the path towards a healthier me! I recommend Allie 100% for whatever your health and fitness goals are. You will not be disappointed!"
-Jaclyn S., FL
"What started as a mere desire to shed 5-10 pounds about two years ago through Allie's F!T in 30 Day Challenge, has turned into quite an incredible transformation and continuous journey. Staying focused and dedicated, I quickly became addicted to seeing the results that come out of all of the hard work I've put in. Allie's an awesome coach; she's truly helped me reach my goals (as they have changed a few times in our time working together) and beyond!"
-Katrina S., CT
"One year ago I had a dream to one day compete in a physique competition. Two days ago, I achieved that dream. Over the past year, I have worked closely with Allie in training, my diet, supplementation, as well as mentality and 9 weeks ago today, I began my first competition prep program. I was incredibly hesitant at first because of the level of commitment and discipline, and the scariest part, eventually have to step on stage. During all of this I was working a full-time job for a construction manager, a job not for the faint of heart. This added to the stress day in and day out, and working long days took away from time I needed to cook proper food and train. But Allie was nothing but supportive and just as determined as I was to get me ready for show. Two days ago, I placed 3rd in the Men's Physique Novice category at the NPC VT Championships, out of eight competitors! I couldn't believe it....my first show, and I placed. In the last 10 days of my prep up to show day, I didn't feel very nervous and actually felt confident. Even during my backstage pump-up/warm-up. But to actually place was something different. When I first had this dream of competing, I always knew that I could do okay, but to actually make it happen and take action towards that dream is a very surreal, exhilarating experience and one that I will never forget. I could not have done this without Allie's help. She is one of a kind - as a coach, a mentor, and a friend. Supportive would be an understatement in describing her commitment towards her clients and athletes. I can't wait to get started on my next goal with Allie, taking things to the next level on a competitive basis. She has truly had a huge hand in helping me change my life for the better."

"Allie is truly a professional and expert in her field. You can tell how much she loves to teach and help her clients with their nutrition, figures and stage presence by the amount of energy she exudes. She is always on time, well organized, and extremely positive and caring of her clients and their success. My success reached a plateau during my WBFF bikini prep but after working with Allie for one week I saw incredible results. When I asked her to create a meal plan for me as a gluten-free, lactose-free vegetarian, Allie happily accepted the challenge! I only wish I started working with her from the beginning! Thank you so much for your help & support!"
-Brandy C., CT
"Although I was skeptical in the beginning and throughout, 8 weeks of dedication paid off. The programming worked and was simple to follow. Never thought I would eat as much as I did to lose weight. I would recommend Allie's program to anyone that is desiring to lose weight and change up their lifestyle."
-Chris P., CT
"Working with Allie has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I told her my goals, she tailored a fitness program and a meal plan just for me. It wasn't easy in the beginning but sticking with it and committing to the program is paying off. Allie has always been there for me on good days and bad. I couldn't ask for a better coach!"
-Kara W., CT
"I had a vision since I was young that I never thought I could achieve. I've always wanted to get on stage and compete in a fitness competition. I never thought I was able to do it. In just 14 weeks, Allie helped me grab that dream and run with it. To date, I've lost 52 pounds (started on my own last year) and transformed my body with diet, exercise and great communication with my coach. I reached my goal of getting on stage for the first time at the WBFF Fitness Atlantic. The joy of the accomplishment I felt that day is indescribable. I feel on top of the world. I will continue my journey and stay fit for future competitions. I learned that there is no impossible in life, just a journey of getting there! Thank you Allie!"
