How personal training works with Coach Ali.
Four clear steps take you from a first conversation to a plan built around your life. Here’s exactly what to expect, including what happens at your first in-person session.
Your path, step by step.
- 01
Consultation
A complimentary 15-minute discovery call to talk about your goals and see whether personal training with Coach Ali is right for you. Request your call through the form and Coach Ali will reach out personally (Monday–Thursday, 7:00–10:00 a.m. Mountain Time) to set a time together. Bring your questions: what you want to feel more of, what has gotten in the way before, and what your weeks really look like.
- 02
Assessment
A hands-on, 30-minute in-person session at Retro Fitness in Cedar City to review your goals and current fitness level. The assessment is a paid session, booked and paid through Retro Fitness, the gym Coach Ali is contracted with. She watches how you move, notes what feels comfortable and what doesn’t, and learns where to start. Detailed health and assessment information is collected privately, never through the public website.
- 03
Build Your Custom Fitness Program
Your training blueprint, built around your schedule, your body and your life. Exercises, progression and recovery are matched to your starting point and to the program you choose: Fat Loss, Endurance or Build Lean Muscle. Training packages run 3, 6 or 12 months, with as many sessions each week as you’d like. Because training takes place at Retro Fitness, working with Coach Ali requires two things: your own Retro Fitness membership, a monthly cost you pay directly to the gym, and your personal training package, a separate cost on top of that membership, also paid to Retro Fitness.

Transformation
Put your plan into practice with coaching, feedback and adjustments as you build strength, confidence and consistent habits. Your plan keeps evolving with you, because progress over perfection is the whole point.
What to expect at your first session.
Walking into a first personal training session can feel like a lot. It doesn’t have to. Here’s how it unfolds.
Before your first session
Request your complimentary 15-minute discovery call through the form, and Coach Ali will reach out personally to set a time. Come with your goals, your questions and an honest picture of your week. There’s no wrong answer.
At your assessment
Your 30-minute assessment takes place at Retro Fitness in Cedar City and is a paid session, booked and paid through the gym. Wear comfortable workout clothes and supportive shoes and bring water. You’ll walk through your goals and move at a comfortable pace while Coach Ali learns where to start.
Once your plan is ready
You’ll train in person with coaching on technique, progression and recovery, and your plan will adjust with your feedback.

- Teaches technique on machines, free weights and cardio equipment.
- Progresses your program gradually as you get stronger.
- Adjusts when life, energy or recovery change.
