About Coach Ali
Coach Ali is a certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Coach from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). He has experience working at various gyms and is Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
Coach Ali has been on his own health and wellness journey for 10+ years.
While working a corporate job, he realized the tricky balance of fitness goals and his career. Sometimes, those fitness goals took a backseat which led to a fluctuation in weight, bad eating habits, and a lack of accountability. Ultimately, he rediscovered the importance health holds to every aspect of his life and knew he had to make a more sustaintable change.
To take his education to the next level, Coach Ali enrolled in the personal training and nutrition program from National Academy of Sports Medicine. His goal was to apply the training principles and incorporate that with his own unique style to help others achieve their individual health and wellness goals.
The Return On Yourself program is Coach Ali’s roadmap customized just for you based on a culmination of experiences and knowledge from years in the industry. These practices will be applied so that you can transform the way you look and feel without completely overhauling the aspects of life that you love most.
In early 2022, Coach Ali was diagnosed with Vestibular Neuritis, P.O.T.S., and Dysautonomia. His autonomic nervous system had been severely compromised causing him to lose the ability to do the most basic things. After about 1.5 years of rehabilitation and recovery, Coach Ali was not only able to recover, but flourish in this new version of himself both physically and mentally.
When not personal training, Coach Ali works full time in consulting for a major tech company (he realllllyyy understands those long hours, overnight shifts, and travel days!). In his free time, he enjoys listening to podcasts, playing basketball, exploring restaurants in NYC, and traveling to different countries.
