Who I am and what I’m about

My name is Aliza and I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer based out of San Francisco. My training practice revolves around inclusiveness, helping my clients feel safe and accepted during training sessions, and helping them learn how to feel comfortable in a gym (i.e. don’t ever be intimidated by free weights!). I work with my clients on building strength, decreasing stress, increasing physical and mental resilience, and moving focus away from measuring progress by scale weight or body size.

I became involved in fitness on the road to recovery for my own BDD and ED over ten years ago - discovering the strength and resilience my body was capable of in the gym helped me relearn how to fuel it and love it for everything it was, rather than everything it wasn't. It is my goal every day to encourage this mentality in my clients - the human body is a miraculous and beautiful thing.

Long story short, I base my practice around being body positive and gender positive, and making fitness accessible to humans from all walks of life.
