Testimonials

I have been working with Ali on my powerlifting goals since July 2023, and I have made measurable progress because of her guidance. I was hesitant to return to powerlifting after sustaining a back injury, but Ali assured me that her approach would be both flexible and consistent. Since working with her, I have competed four times — including the USAPL Northeast Regional meet — and have PR’d each lift.

I am always impressed by Ali’s ability to push me while staying supportive. She knows exactly when to challenge me to go heavier and when to pull back if needed. She balances compassion with challenge, which is rare. Her programming is thoughtful, individualized, and rooted in long-term sustainability. I feel stronger, more confident, and smarter about how I train.

Another aspect that sets Ali apart is her commitment to continuously improving as a coach. Whether it’s working with her own mentor, diving into educational content, or staying actively involved in the powerlifting community, she is constantly refining her craft. In a field where best practices are always evolving, having a coach who refuses to stay stagnant is invaluable.

Working with Ali has taken the guesswork out of my training. She provides a clear plan that I can trust and follow with confidence. I can confidently say that working with Ali has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my lifting career. If you’re looking for a coach who combines technical expertise, individualized programming, and genuine support, I cannot recommend her enough.

Working with Ali has been extremely productive and we are reaping the rewards for blocks won through knowledge, intent and ball. She seems to have an answer for everything (in a good way) I neurotically throw at her throughout my day. She also is very helpful and accommodating to injuries and working around them, and most importantly knowledgeable of how the body moves and functions. Ali’s the goat, nuff said.

Ali is genuinely one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. The amount of time, effort, and care she puts into every athlete is something you don’t find everywhere. She pays attention to every little detail, constantly adapts training to what works best for me, and always makes sure I feel supported both inside and outside of training. She has an incredible ability to see things I wouldn’t notice myself and turn them into incredible improvements. Her knowledge, dedication, mentorship, and commitment to her athletes are truly unmatched. Ali has been one of the most consistent and supportive coaches, and she’s genuinely such a light to work with. I’m always excited to send in my videos and get her feedback because her attention to detail is incredible. She’s not only helped me become a stronger lifter, but has given me confidence in myself and my training. I’m incredibly grateful and proud to have her as my coach.

Davey is truly one of the best rising coaches in the game. I’ve been with her for almost a year now and she has truly helped me make strides in my training. From her breadth of knowledge through her studies, research, or current/past clients, she always has an answer for you, and if she doesn’t she enstills trust that she will find the reason for the issue, etc. If you are like me and have the busiest schedule ever, she will make sure to make it work, and not make you feel guilty or that you’re lesser than for not being able to stick to your training schedule. She is one of the most understanding, kind, and genuine people I know and she will not make you feel like you’re not only her athlete but someone she truly cares about and not just a number on her roster. I can confidently say I’m thankful for my choice in choosing her as a coach, and that I will not be leaving Team Davey anytime soon.

I’ve been working with Ali for several months now and I can’t recommend her enough!  I’m 10+ years into my powerlifting career, all of them as a Masters lifter, and Ali has continued to push me to get stronger, strengthen my technique and got me excited to lift again. 

After struggling for a while with some health issues, I was frustrated at my lack of progress. One of Ali’s greatest strengths is being able to pivot when I’m struggling or when my work schedule is a mess. She never makes me feel bad for asking questions and her constant feedback has been a game changer for me. 

Ali is constantly seeking new information and learning from others which she passes on to her athletes. I feel like she is always  doing everything in her power to help me succeed!

I first worked with Ali at the Arnold Sports Festival and USAPL Nations. From the first call I knew I was getting a top notch coach and handler who took my input  seriously and listened to what I wanted to accomplish, while giving valuable information to consider while I finished my last couple weeks of prep. Most of all it’s Ali’s demeanor and up beat attitude that I appreciated the most, while she’s effortlessly able to control the warm up space for you and take the guess work out of warm ups. She genuinely wanted me to have fun and I did just that as she coached me to a National Record.
