Pure Energy Wellness

Allison is a highly educated and knowledgeable coach! She’s a joy to be around and cares deeply for her clients. You can tell she really takes the time to understand your goals and meet you where you’re at, which makes the whole process feel supportive instead of overwhelming. If you’re looking to transform your life, I’d definitely recommend working with her. She brings a great mix of professionalism, encouragement, and real expertise, and it shows in the way she coaches.

I give five stars for personal training with Allison. I started working with her after shoulder and knee injuries sidelined me from the gym. She created a custom plan to help me get moving again, and I achieved steady gains in flexibility and strength with the Knees Over Toes program. Additionally, she addressed areas of muscle weakness vs. overcompensating ones and as a result my form has improved. Allison is great to work with and is positive and encouraging too. I am feeling confident in my body again and ready for adventure travels.

It has been such a gift to have found Allison. I am noticing a transformation in my body (and my energy levels) that feels sustainable and foundational. When I started with her a few months ago, I genuinely could not imagine feeling good in my body. It has been rapidly changing (I'm in my 40s) and I had all but accepted that it just "is what it is." It took some time, and consistently showing up in what felt like very small ways, to now have experienced a shift that has me optimistic and motivated to keep showing up and never look back. Allison is calm, patient and thoughtful in her programming, and continues to quietly inspire and motivate me with her trust for the work and the pace. I know at some point I will feel prepared to fly off on my own, but as of now, I would love nothing more than to see her multiple times a week for life! If you are ready to invest in your well being in a way that you can carry forward and sustain, I highly recommend working with Allison. You got this. <3

Allison has been my personal trainer for several years, having taken over from physical therapists after a hip replacement. She has been very good to work with. She understands how to work with older clients with health and mobility issues. She has helped me a great deal and I enjoy working with her. In particular I have asked for help with flexibility and strength for everyday living. She's been great, listens to me, and really seems to care.

i love working with allison! she’s intuitive and encouraging and helped me reach my goals way faster than i would have alone

I used to struggle with making exercise a consistent part of my life until I started weekly sessions with Allison. She brings the joy and excitement back into movement. Her incredible knowledge about the body allows her to individualize and modify exercises to meet my needs. She skillfully delivers cues that have greatly increased my body awareness and checks in throughout to see how each movement feels. Allison truly listens and that carries a lot of value. I have experienced so much progress and hit many milestones since working with Allison. She helped me discover strength and flexibility that I thought was beyond my reach and didn’t know I had. Now, I can confidently say that I enjoy the experience of being in my body so much more!

Allison is so much more than an expert personal trainer- she’s also a healer and a wisdom keeper. Every ounce of effort you put in with her comes back threefold. I’ve grown stronger not just in body, but in mind and spirit. What I love most about working with Allison, beyond her compassion and humor, is how her workouts feel gentle and balanced while still being incredibly effective. She creates a space where progress feels natural and sustainable.

Allison P. Is a fantastic trainer. She has helped me rehab my knee and hip. I have been seeing Allison for 5+ years and I highly recommend her.

Alison has helped me strengthen and condition my back, legs, and core with a patient, kind, approach to wellness. I have come so far, from constant sore back, lack of flexibility, and a lumbar injury, to a much stronger legs, knees, back and gained mobility in ways that I didn't anticipate. I'm 5 years into training and am now capable of a full range squat on an incline with no issues. The ATG approach to training has been excellent for my style of fitness.

I highly recommend working out with Allison at Pure Energy Wellness! This has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my body. Allison is a total pro. She focuses on my particular needs and goals, and curates a workout specific to my long-term health and fitness. She is knowledgeable of muscle building, nutrition, hormone changes, and injury prevention. In eight short weeks I can see and feel results: my body is becoming lean and strong! Allison is encouraging and positive. She even lets me pick the music.

My only regret is not asking for Allison’s expertise sooner!! We met in 2019 and after six years of friendship, I finally asked for her help. I have an old hamstring injury that has essentially kept me from regular strenuous exercise for over a decade. Under Allison’s very knowledgeable direction, we’ve spent the last several weeks working with that old injury gently, and getting me to a point today where I asked her to add another day to the plan she put together for me. I feel SO hopeful and excited to be moving my body in ways that I had been too afraid to do for so long because of my fear of pain and re-injury. But with Allison’s guidance and really conscientious approach I can see that I am already making big strides and changes. I cannot wait to see what the future holds and feel like I’m getting a part of me and my life back that I had been dearly missing! Do yourself a favor and don’t wait six years to ask for Allison’s help like I did! You WILL NOT regret it.

We’ve had the pleasure of training with Allison for many years and are noticeably stronger and healthier as a result! We’ve also seen significant improvement in our flexibility and mobility. Allison’s workouts are personalized, challenging and never boring. She pushes us in the best possible way! What is most inspiring is her positive energy, genuine encouragement, and how she really cares about our health — both mental and physical. We can’t recommend Allison enough. If you’re ready to make a change and want someone who will support you every step of the way, look no further!

Allison is the absolute best.I've been working with her for years now and have gained so much knowledge and confidence learning how to listen to my body and care for myself. Whether it's nutrition, moving your body, or the all the stuff in between that creates overall wellness, Allison is knowledgeable, generous and truly talented and inspiring. I've gotten so much stronger wiser and happier since having her as my trainer. Best gift I ever gave myself!

Allison’s holistic approach to wellness is truly unique. She’s helped me in so many ways— from figuring out how to tune into my body more to helping heal joint pain with strength and mobility. I cannot recommend her more!

Allison Pelot at Pure Energy Wellness is a fantastic trainer and I highly recommend her for people of all fitness levels! She has helped to bring me from a very low physical point in 2022 to hitting regular strength and stability goals! We've progressed from weakness/ability assessment through flexibility & balance, endurance, and this past winter I started hitting solid core-strength and stability goals with weights and resistance. I'm a devoted fan of Allison's. I also know she has never let me anywhere near an injury from over-extending myself, and she has always guided me to maintainable goals.

I could barely walk when I first came to see Allison. I had pain and lots of swelling in my knee even after I'd completed physical therapy. Today I'm almost completely pain free, moving with ease and I can run up and down the stairs effortlessly now. Allison has shown me what's possible with the right support and the right kind of training!

I came to Allison with a months long knee Injury from mountain biking. Over the course of the nine months working with Allison, my knee pain has subsided. I have been able to gain strength in my upper body and have better flexibility in my hips. I highly recommend Allison's athletic expertise and re-building techniques. As a former competitive athlete, I can attest to her ability to rebuild after injuries. I feel better than ever!

Before training with Allison, I struggled with balance and had become quite sedentary. I felt anxious when using certain gym equipment or doing movements I didn’t feel confident with. Since working with Allison, I’ve noticed significant improvements. I feel much more stable during movements and far less anxious trying new workouts—even those involving equipment I haven't used before. I’m beginning to regain my strength, and I feel more energetic overall with a growing desire to stay active. My working out under Allison’s has really helped me over all. I’m moving more throughout the day, walking longer distances, and I feel stronger when handling everyday tasks like lifting items. Most importantly, I feel more confident in my body and what it’s capable of. Also, Allison is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and encouraging. She adapts movements for my (short) body and gives honest, positive feedback. Her supportive, kind presence makes every session feel safe and empowering.

Allison is amazing to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly cares about making a difference in the lives of others. She's also one of the very few ATG coaches (Athletic Truth Group) in Portland that teaches the knees-over-toes method. A method which is largely responsible for turning my cranky, stiff, and painful left-knee into an pain-free and operable appendage. Reach out to Allison, you will be glad you did!
