My greatest joy in training clients comes from helping each person feel deeply connected to their body and move without pain. I've worked with clients across all ages, body types, abilities, and challenges—and each leaves their session feeling more uplifted than when they arrived!
Movement is my first language, and through it, I guide others toward newfound confidence, helping them build physical stability, strength, and the freedom of full mobility. I learned the vital importance of movement for mind, body, and spirit through years devoted to exercise for sport, competition, and performance.

Ali McRae's professional training career spans five years, but her connection to fitness and wellness extends throughout her life. Growing up as a dancer, gymnast, and springboard diver, Ali discovered that movement was more than just fun and competition—it became a powerful tool for healing and self-expression.
After earning her BA in Dance Choreography and Performance, Ali found her next passion in yoga, becoming a certified Vinyasa instructor in 2015. Her journey continued as she studied under three of Manhattan's top personal trainers, leading to her NASM Personal Training certification. Always eager to learn, Ali has since earned certifications in TRX and Silver Sneakers, become a Corrective Exercise Specialist, and is currently training to be a Somatic educator.
As a functional trainer, Ali's mission is to make movement fun, effective, and educational for each client. She specializes in teaching people how to enjoy their bodies by improving ease of movement, stability, and strength. Ali approaches training holistically—embracing mind, body, and spirit—and brings this integrated philosophy to every session, caring deeply for each client's overall well-being.
