I ‘ve been training with Alicia for a little over 2 years now. The improvements I have made both personally and professionally are a direct result of her hard work and dedication for that time. Alicia does everything she can to not only improve the fitness industry but also to help it evolve. She has followed through on every commitment she has made to me, she is results driven, and with her can do attitude has supported me in my goal setting and achievements. This year I have committed to run an Ultra-marathon from Vancouver to the summit of Whistler for BC Children’s hospital. Without the commitments of a support team this would not be possible, Alicia has given up her own time to help me achieve this mammoth goal, she is a credit to the Fitness Industry. I would have absolutely no problem recommending Alicia Bell to anyone looking for a person to change their life. Alicia is not only a Personal Trainer, she will become your friend and will take great pride in seeing you reach any goals you set yourself.”

“I have been training with Alicia for over a year now. I love the workout sessions as Alicia really knows how to keep me motivated and on track to achieving my goals. She is very experienced in the industry and comes with a wealth of knowledge in helping you to shape your body and improve your overall health. Alicia is a great instructor and demonstrates each exercise to me and explains the right way to perform the moves to ensure that each routine is executed safely, yet still achieving maximum results. Alicia is flexible in rearranging our training days to always makes time to adjust to my very busy schedule to ensure that I am still able to train my desired times/days per week. In addition, Alicia makes the routines fun and challenging at the same time. Somedays we workout in a gym, other days the workouts are outdoors to take advantage of the sunny weather. I love the change in scenery and exploring new, creative ways to workout.
The best part about our workouts is seeing my results. I have really noticed a change in my body and the new strength of my muscles. I am now more toned, stronger and have better endurance because of our training sessions.Thanks Alicia for your continuous support in driving me to achieve my goals and improve my overall health. My body loves you for it!

I first met Alicia in 2001 when she came to Dalhousie University to embark on a degree in Kinesiology. She came across as a typical nineteen year old away from home for the first time, a little overwhelmed in the big city that we call Halifax. She joined our track and field club in the fall of 2003, and I was by then quite impressed with the young lady that she had turned into.
What struck me was how much she was giving back to the sport that she has been a part of for so long. At the ripe old age of 21, she was coaching high school kids. She wasn’t just coaching them; she was coaching them with a maturity, grace and skill of someone well beyond her years.
This past summer, she took on the responsibility of being a provincial coach for 38 athletes that competed at the 17 and under National Championships. All during that time she was training herself, so that she could be a part of the Canada Games experience. It was to our province’s great deficit that she made the decision to leave Nova Scotia to pursue opportunities in Ontario.
Within a week of her arrival in Ottawa, she had joined a track club, and immediately started coaching in that system.
The qualities that I find most refreshing in my dealings with Alicia are in no particular order: her straightforward approach, her compassion and caring for others, and a willingness and need to excel in whatever she attempts.
She leaves behind quite a void to fill in Nova Scotia, and while we wish her well, we hope that sometime soon she’ll be able to return. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
