My Story
At Be Active With Alison, I started my journey with a simple goal: to help people live healthier, happier and more active lives.
This started after my own journey that took me from being overweight, unfit, unhealthy and not as happy as I could be, to living a healthier and more
active life while still eating the foods I enjoy , still socialising and eating out and doing activities that I never thought would be possible.
I'm not quite where I want to be but I'm a long way from where I never want to be again.
I've learned that this isn't a quick fix but a lifestyle change and a lifestyle choice. I have chosen to change the way I live and I have never regretted it.
Since the start of my journey, I've grown into someone who enjoys exercising and being active and is passionate about supporting others who want to achieve the same.
Are you looking for support and guidance for a healthier, fitter and stronger lifestyle where you learn to understand your body, your body's individual needs, feel in control of what you are eating and feel good about yourself?
Then read on.
Weight Loss
Are you overweight and struggle with self-confidence.
Have you tried slimming classes, restrictive food plans, detoxes and what feels like every fad diet going?
Have you lost weight, been hungry all the time, craved foods you're not allowed and then put it all or more back on after you gave up?
ME TOO!
That all changed when I started my own fitness journey and lost over 40 pounds. Now, I want to help you achieve your goals.
I finally found a way that suited me. I found a way to lose weight that was sustainable and helped me build a healthy relationship with food. I also found a love for exercise and being active.
If I can do it, so can you.
I can support you in your weight loss journey. Not with faddy or restrictive diets but with calorie counting that lets you eat and drink all the things you enjoy (but in moderation) while helping you to discover a healthy relationship with food that will build healthy habits that last a lifetime. I can work out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the minimum number of calories you need to maintain safe body functions for breathing, digestion and blood flow. I can also calculate your safe and sustainable calorie deficit. (Please do not go from the ones the calorie counting Apps give you.They are notoriously too low.)
You will need a calorie counting app such as Nutracheck or My Fitness Pal at your own cost.
Let me help you meet your weight loss goals.
Being Active
Being active doesn't just mean going for a run or joining a gym. It can do, if that's your thing but there are so many ways to keep active that are enjoyable, easy and sometimes free.
Go for a walk, do some gardening, join a walking group or an exercise class. What's important is that you keep active. That saying we've all heard, 'use it or lose it', is true, especially the older we get. I love the confidence that losing weight and getting fit and active has given me.
I'm now doing activities in my 50's that I've always wanted to do in my younger days but instead of joining in with friends and family, I'd make excuses and just watch them having fun.
I can help you find activities and exercise that you can enjoy or rediscover the activities that you used to enjoy. One step at a time.
I can work with you as we put together a realistic and achievable fitness or activity program that you will enjoy. You are more likely to stick at something if you enjoy it.
You can also attend my fitness classes or my small group sessions. (an additional cost)
Exercise can be more fun with like minded people.
You will need a fitness tracker app such as Strava or My Fitness Pal at your own cost.

My Transformation Journey
I used to be overweight and struggle with self-confidence. That all changed when I started my fitness journey and lost over 40 pounds. Now, I want to share my story and help others achieve their goals.
I've been there and done that, as the saying goes. I've been overweight and tried every fad diet, food plan, detox, fasting etc going, or it certainly feels like it. But I finally found a way that suited me. I found a way to lose weight that was sustainable and helped me build a healthy relationship with food. I also found a love for exercise and being active. I understand how hard it is to lose weight, keep it off, change habits and keep fit, healthy and active.
If I can do it, so can you.
