About me: 

I am Allison Duquette, an ISSA certified elite trainer. In 2014 I left my job at the local hospital and the workforce all together to have my son. After being a stay at home mom for several years and starting a horse boarding facility here in Vermont, I decided I wanted to start a new career. I've been an athlete all my life and the thought of helping others feel as good as I do pushed me towards personal training. A lot of research went into which certifying body to go through and I ultimately decided on the ISSA because of their reputation, support, and testimonials from graduates. I received my personal training certification in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. That definitely put a damper on starting this new venture. I knew at this point that working in a commercial gym wasn't going to work out, so my husband and I took a portion of my horse barn and built a private gym and in the meantime I have built an online presence on FB and YouTube. Just as my 40th birthday was coming up and in the middle of a pandemic, I am starting this new career from the ground up. Health is of the utmost importance right now and I want to help others find their optimal health through diet (not dieting) and exercise. I take a slow, sustainable approach and tailor to the individual.
