I thought I ate healthy and kept fairly fit, despite 10 years of limitations with a chronic illness. However, I was unable to lose the extra weight I had gained. It was either buy a larger wardrobe or get proactive. Thats when I learned of Dr Derek’s. The diagnostic three pillar approach of nutrition, exercise and accountability has educated me on making wiser choices that will ultimately lead to longevity and a healthy living lifestyle. I’ve been there almost 2 months, and I’m already transforming into a stronger, healthier version of myself. The staff are highly skilled and friendly. Its an enjoyable place to be a part of.

I just started at Alessi Fitness and I already have had a great workout experience with a personal trainer and am looking foward to my next session which is not normally how I feel about exercising! The staff definitely make you feel welcome which is comforting. Looking forward to this journey with Alessi Fitness!

The workouts are structured so you can make them as challenging as you can for yourself. The accountability is great and the cookbooks and products are first rate!

I can’t say enough good things about Alessi Fitness! From day one, the trainers have been incredibly supportive and attentive to my individual needs. During the semi-private workouts, they always offer modifications that fit my physical abilities, making sure I feel successful while still being challenged.

What really sets this facility apart is the holistic support—they don’t just focus on workouts. The monthly check-ins and guidance with nutrition have helped me stay accountable without ever feeling judged. Even on weeks when I’m struggling, the trainers offer encouragement and thoughtful suggestions instead of criticism, which makes a huge difference.

The atmosphere is so welcoming and positive. The trainers use kind, motivating words, and the encouragement from other members makes every session feel like a team effort. It’s a place where progress is celebrated, and effort is truly valued.

My experience is just as wonderful this time as before, and the trainers and staff are supportive with just the right amount of intensity and fun. I enjoy going there:)

Absolutely love the semi-private training sessions. The trainers plan challenging workouts to push you and make you stronger, all while offering modifications to the exercises so you can push yourself or take it easier if you need to that day. The feedback on the food log from the nutritionist help me keep on track!

I've been a client at Alessi Fitness for over 2 years and I have lost over 40 lbs of fat. It's been a life changing experience for me. I actually look forward to my morning workouts and enjoy the semi private classes. I honestly don't feel like I had to "diet". I just needed to make better choices. And it has made all the difference in my health. I highly recommend Alessi Fitness to anyone looking to improve their health!

I absolutely LOVE Alessi Fit! Dr.Derek and his staff really know their stuff. They take their time to explain everything to you, and genuinely care about you and your progress. We log our food daily and weekly we will get an email either saying great job, or to let us know some food choices aren’t the best. It’s nice to actually look forward to going to workout! I take their semi-private workouts and am super happy with all their fitness coaches. They take the time at the start of every session to go through the exercises that we will be doing that day and demonstrate how to do them. While doing the exercises, if I am doing it wrong, they come over and show me the right way to do them. At the end of every workout we get instructed stretches. I have to say joining Alessi Fit is one of the best decision I have ever made! I am learning to eat healthier and to exercise and am already down 22lbs with only 10-15 lbs to go(depending on how thin I want to be)

I’ve been a client at Alessi Fitness for 8 months and have lost an incredible 50 lbs, including 40 lbs of fat. The group strength training classes are fantastic, and I absolutely love them! The trainers provide unwavering support and encouragement, offering adaptations for anyone who needs them. The nutrition guidance has significantly reduced my inflammation, and for me, eating well and feeling healthy is the best mood enhancer ever. I just returned from a short vacation, and for the first time in my adult life, I made great choices both nutritionally and fitness-wise while away. Being in my late 40s, I only wish I had discovered Alessi Fitness sooner. Dr. Derek and his staff have changed my life for the better!

After watching many episodes of Dr. Dereks "Live it fit" program on tv I could tell that Derek really knew his stuff and was dedicated and professional. Getting close to retirement I knew that if my wife Lynn and I didn't change our lifestyle we would spend our retirement in the waiting room at the doctors office and in line at the pharmacy.After our initial consultation in May 2019 we knew we made the right decision. We work out three times a week and love it. The trainers do all the thinking for us (unlike a gym where it's up to you to figure it out) and are always encouraging us. Derek is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness, eating properly, and even how to sleep properly and he is always willing to share this. I knew things were going well when early on I was able to tie my shoes and walk up the stairs without huffing and puffing and I was able to start using the unused holes on my belt! Lynn and I both lost about 40 pounds in about 6 months and have been able to maintain it ever since. We both feel great and have way more energy than ever! I've bought clothes sizes that I haven't fit into for 30 years! I'm really excited that I could wear my favorite sport jacket that I bought at Riverside Mens Shop in the mid '80s! Needless to say going to Dr Derek has changed our lives and we are so grateful for it! If you need to change directions in your life make an appointment to see Derek. You'll never regret it.
It's now been three years since we started and the weight is still off and we both feel great! Investing in ourselves has been paying big dividends! I can't imagine where we'd be if we didn't make the decision to start coming here three years ago. We have three new trainers and they're amazing! Ryan,Chris and Colm have been designing new and challenging workouts that really make you sweat! Investing in yourself is the best investment that you could ever make!

I have been a member of Alessi Fit for 2 years. I was a bit reluctant in the beginning, as I was out of shape and in my late 50’s. Dr. Derek and his trainers made me feel encouraged. Each trainer called me by name from day one and helped me learn the exercises and proper form to prevent injury. The other clients are friendly and supportive. The semi private classes are fun and challenging. In my first year, I lost almost 40 pounds of fat! I have maintained that loss. I will soon be turning 60 and I am stronger and leaner than I was in my 20’s! Thank you Dr. Derek!

This is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change that has improved my health immensely. Dr. Derek not only ‘preaches’ the lifestyle, he LIVES it and understands the struggles you are going through.

UPDATE: 25 months in and still going strong. The trainers are excellent and have the knowledge to give you alternate excercises pertaining to your injuries or fitness level. Everyone is nice and approachable. I do not hesitate to ask for an alternative, nor do I feel like I am inconveniencing them. I still feel like I am getting great workouts.

UPDATE: This is a great place to get a full body workout each session. The trainers are there to help along the way. They are there to give pointers to help avoid injury and the motivation and positive energy are what keeps me coming back. I am truly happy that I decided to start my journey with them.

UPDATE: Six months in and the positive energy from the trainers is what keeps me coming back. They know my limitations and encourage me to keep going.
UPDATE: Two months later and I still feel the same. I am working towards my goals in a safe environment where I can still participate with my limitations. All the instructors are very knowledgeable about what workouts can be modified regardless of your prior injuries. They seem to truly care about this journey and are extremely encouraging.

If you are looking for a place to work out post a life changing event, this is the place for you. The instructors are very knowledgeable and understand my limitations. They are able to walk me through a modified workout that allows me to participate and feel like I can accomplish my goals without hurting myself further. If your goals are to become a healthier version of yourself, these are your people. They help you understand why you should make these lifestyle changes and support you through the process.

I started at Dr. Derek - Alessi Fitness Inc recently and am excited to begin my health transformation. During my first visit I learned an incredible amount of information from Dr. Derek regarding my body scan. The information I received was the scary truth that I needed to hear. However hard to hear, I believe the team at Alessi Fitness will provide the knowledge and expertise to support me with this journey. I have knee issues in both knees. The information I learned in my 2 hour visit was more helpful than any previous doctors/fitness instructors have recommended in 30 years of having these problems. I look forward to building the correct muscles to help aid in my quality of life.

Dr. Derek is an informative, engaging, candid and supportive practitioner, who exemplifies the results of his approach to weight and fitness management.

Beginning with the initial consultation, he helps establish realistic expectations and achievable goals, supplies the tools and resources to accomplish them, and closes the loop with monthly results monitoring.

You might find his approach unusual. The idea that the relationship between weight management is more than simply an "energy imbalance" or "calories in vs calories out" or "eat less and move around more" is fairly new. But my experience in weight management and fitness over the last 9 years is absolutely supported by Dr. Derek's philosophy.

Since I started with him just over 90 days ago, his nutritional and exercise method has formed one of the final pieces to my personal puzzle, and helped me shed 10 lbs of stubborn body fat, while adding several pounds of muscle.

To be fair, it's not easy. It requires personal discipline and a willingness to change, which might include reframing your workouts into your most important meeting of the day and accepting that you can't out-train a poor diet.

But if you're prepared to follow a path to proven results, you can achieve them, too. Dr. Derek can help you get there.

With their direction, and ever present drive, I have been able to drop almost 30 pounds of fat in 4 months. More importantly, I feel better and have more energy everyday. As I tell my friends, this Diet and Exercise thing really works! Thanks so much Dr. Derek and Staff. Looking forward to the next challenge!

Dr. Alessi and the trainers have made the start of my fitness/nutrition journey very easy. The staff are encouraging and everyone knows your name. I’m very happy with my choice to work with them.

Updated 10/27/2022: I am grateful for the support and knowledge the Alessi Fitness Family gives to me for my work outs and eating habits. They keep me on target and make me feel like part of their family as well.

Accountability for food choices and attending workouts is the key at Alessi Fitness. The apps for tracking food and exercise are easy to use and informative. There are products and personal meetings to help with the journey of reaching your goal.
Lots of positive support from the staff. I love that workouts are varied and proper form is stressed to prevent injury.
I’ve known about Alessi Fitness for years but always felt I could lose weight and get healthier on my own. Wish I had realized the truth sooner but I’m here now working toward a healthier me!

This is clearly a 5 star business. Yes, it is a business but one that truly cares about you as a person. You are more than a client here. No matter what your objective (lose weight/body fat, increase stamina/strength, decrease medications, or just get general fitness/nutrition information) there is something here for you. The entire staff is extremely professional. Scheduling and other client logistics needs are taken care of in a quick and efficient manner. Your training will be tailored to you based on your objectives and and considerations you have such as nagging injuries, etc. The trainers are going to coach you through each exercise to refine your form and technique to ensure you get the most benefit and reduce the risk of injury.

If you are on the fence about checking this business out, don’t be. You will not go wrong and you will see that after your first visit.

I started going to Alessi Fitness the end of January, 2022.. I am extremely impressed with this facility. Dr. Derek simplifies the concept of healthy eating and exercise. The trainers are very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I am so glad I joined. If you need help getting healthy, I highly recommend this facility. UPDATE: I’m still going, I love it. I feel great. The trainers are great. If you’re on the fence about joining, schedule a consultation to check it out. ANOTHER UPDATE: I’m still going and I still love it! The trainers are great and you really get a full body work out with the semi-private sessions. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation, you won’t regret it!!!

I've been going to Dr. Alessi for over 18 months. Through Dr. Alessi's guidance and consult I have lost 19 lbs of body fat. I have been weight training and playing sports for over 55 years and can vouch for Dr. Alessis's approach to exercise, nutrition and monitoring/accountability. Just need to take the first step.

I continue to adhere to Dr. Alessi's consult. His recommendations and guidance regarding nutrition have proven for me to be on target. I thought I was eating healthy prior to my first meeting with Dr. Alessi but still felt I could not shake stubborn body fat despite working out six days a week. After adopting Dr. Alessi's nutritional recommendations I have lost and maintained the 19 lbs of body fat. I am skeptical of new fad exercise and fat loss programs. Dr. Alessi's nutrition program works and is sustainable for life.

At the age of 70 I decided to get in the best shape I can and stay that way for good. My wife said "Go to Alessi". I said "I can do this myself". So eight months ago I set a goal of losing 25 lbs. Three months later I lost 20 lbs. and prematurely said "I told you so". Three months after that I was still tying to lose the other 5 lbs. She repeated "Go to Alessi". So I did. Two weeks later I lost the 5 lbs. and more. And it was fun! Great staff, personal attention, and proper instruction from real professionals!

It has been eleven months since I began the fitness and nutrition regiment with Dr. Derek. With his three pronged approach the results have been nothing short of amazing. As you long as you follow his advice, (which includes one cheat day a week), his plan works! On a day I didn’t feel like working out he said to me: “when was the last time you worked out and wish you didn’t.” I keep this bit of advice in mind on days that I would rather eat candy and sit on the sofa! I highly recommend joining Alessi fitness.

Tired of fighting the middle age 'spread' on my own. I needed professional help, not just a eating plan, but a combination of eating plan, work outs, and accountability. I found all 3 with Dr. Derek. His monthly check ins are helpful, and honest. His focus is not just the exterior, but how your body and blood work are responding - internally. You get a full picture and a reasonable goal for reducing fat, not just 'losing weight' and replacing bad habits with good, sustainable ones. Plus all the employees, and even my fellow work out buddies make this experience enjoyable, informative and I am making great progress! If you are serious about your health and wellness, but need some help breaking bad habits and creating new, healthy ones, run to Dr. Derek. You won't be disappointed.

After five years, I am still impressed by Dr. Derek's passion for physical fitness! He continues researching new healthy advice that he always, enthusiastically, shares with all of his clients.
I originally began my instruction at Alessi Fitness in 2016 to get in shape before my daughters wedding. I had tried diet and exercise for years on my own and at gyms and did not get the results I wanted. Following Dr. Derek's healthy dietary recommendations along with personal training, I found I had never felt better in just a few months! I eventually started training in the semi-private classes after I had reached my goal.
I continued to do so following a ski accident which left me with some physical weakness that I hadn't had to deal with prior. I appreciated all of the knowledgeable athletic trainers at Alessi Fitness even more then due to their respect for individuals like myself with former injuries. I continue to enjoy all of their motivation and ability to modify exercises so that I, and others , can continue to improve and strengthen our bodies.

I recently started using the services of Dr. Derek Alessi at the urging of my wife who has attended his seminars. I found the all inclusive approach of his team as mind, body and spirit. Each detail of this all encompassing program is communicated in an easy to understand format for all types of student’s; it varies from kinesiology, visual, academics, science and an understanding what is important to you personally at this time into your life. My medical issues involve my use of orthopedic and neurosurgeons. He and his staff designed a program to adapt and allow for my present limitations. Dr. Derek communicates daily through emails and helpful solutions to everyday dietary problems. In addition, he and his staff use an app to detail all training and logging of nutrients to keep them updated on my progress which allows a continuing tweaking of my personalized program . As detailed in my writing it is evident that everyone involved is very client oriented, professional and excellent communicators.

I had a gym membership in the past but I found myself going less often and I never really had both the diet and exercise routine working together. That all changed 8 years ago when I became a client of Dr. Derek’s.
I now have set appointments which force me to make the commitment to go every week. I’ve found working with a personal trainer makes better use of my time in the gym. I no longer have to search for equipment or wait for a machine that’s in use. At Alessi Fitness my trainer sets up the equipment and demonstrates the exercise to be done. They correct my form as necessary and push/encourage me along the way.
In my first year I dropped 30 pounds of fat and I’ve maintained it by making a life style change to my diet. I now know what food to eat and what to limit. Every week I get a cheat day to eat whatever I want and my monthly Dexa scans keep me honest when I’m cheating more than that.
The gym and locker room have always been very clean but it’s exceptionally clean these days. The trainers clean the equipment shortly after you’re done with it and fogging of the equipment and gym happen at the end of the day.

Hello everyone! My success story began in January 2020 and continues to this day! I would like to share my experience, in hopes of providing inspiration to others! I scheduled a private consultation with Dr. Derek and a few days later, I attended a group session. Then it all clicked. For me, my decision to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle started in my brain. The glycemic index really hit home. I was exercising but not eating the right foods. I meet with my private trainer once a week and exercise daily at home. I'm happy to say I have lost weight, fat and inches! More importantly, I feel the best I have in years--- mentally, physically and socially! Also, I have decreased my cholesterol and triglyceride levels without medication.

He then in clear and understandable way showed me how I could reverse the damage I had done over the last 40 yrs in the next 12 months.

Utilizing Alessi Fitness has been a life changer for me. The guidance and program(s) offered to burn fat, eat better and see results from the exercise program is top notch. I was in pretty rough shape health wise 3 years ago. I am now in much better health and physical condition. Thank you Dr. Derek and team!

I joined in order to get in better shape. I had been working out at home and have a good gym setup but the Alessi experience is the best. I, along with getting in the best shape of my life, lost a lot of fat pounds. This was the result of the eating guidance to go along with the workouts.

This is the best place to get fit and be healthy.
Great support, trainers are excellent.
I have tried many things and this place has been the only one that worked for me. If you think you can't do it you are wrong. The Alessi plan works if you follow it.
Dr.Derek knows what he's doing!

In 2017 I had back surgery(L5-S1), my level of activity was limited to walking a few blocks a day. At my heaviest I was 197 on a 5 9 frame, with 68 lbs of the 197 being Fat. We went for our consultation in April 2018 and gave Dr Alessi our records. I explained my back issues and that was the beginning of the last piece of the medical puzzle I needed in my recovery. Today I’m at 163 and my back has had the best 2 plus years. Dr Alessi and the team of trainers have been extremely careful at the same time pushing me not only physically but more importantly mentally to continue and maintain my health. My exercise program has been set in order to gain and maintain flexibility and strength. But that was not all that came out of our consultation. The nutritional goals, knowledge and receipts we have received has made it possible to champion our lifestyle changes to a healthier one.
Take the first step you will not regret it.
