Personal trainer spotlight at FFC

Hi FFC! My name is Allie Kersten. I am from Chicago and graduated from Simmons University in Boston with my Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and a minor in Nutrition. I specialize in sports performance with individual and team athletes, but I still love teaching anyone new movements or helping someone improve on what they already know. My goal as a trainer is to give you a challenging yet rewarding workout and help you to be confident in your body. I love when my clients have a love/hate relationship with my training because the movements are difficult and tiring but make you feel accomplished and strong. I personally try to balance my movement and lifestyle by setting my goals toward strength and muscle gain one day and then working on joint health and injury prevention another day. When I’m not in the gym I am crocheting or painting sneakers with my friends or cooking with my family. I have a strong belief in a balance of the mind, body, and spirit and work to be better for myself every day.
