Allison McCants is an energizing personal trainer with over 10 years of experience developing healthier living and exercise plans for people ready to take control of their weight and eating habits. Allison has conducted aerobics classes at city-wide conferences and seminars. Her business clients include Mt. Sinai United Christian Church (Staten Island), Women helping women ministries (Brooklyn Ny), Full Gospel Tabernacle (Staten Island) and she has worked with numerous individuals in the Tri-State Area.


Having battled a weight challenge personally, Allison confesses that there was a time in her life when she abused food and she once weighed as much as 238 pounds. Allison says she got tired of being overweight and decided to make some major lifestyle changes. She began exercising and watching her diet. And within 18 months she had lost a total of 78 pounds.


With a newly found passion for personal health and fitness, Allison began making positive impacts in the lives of friends and acquaintances. She has provided personal training to many of her co-workers at Verizon, where she has worked for 12 years, and she launched a weekly aerobics class at the Mariners’ Temple Baptist Church, where she is a member.

Allison enjoyed “working out” so much that she sought her certification to teach aerobics and provide personal training to others. She enrolled in and completed the New York City Parks Department Fitness/Aerobics Instructor Certification Program. She successfully completed a 6- month internship with the Alfred E. Smith Recreational Center, in lower Manhattan, where she led a multi-cultural group of 20 to 30 participants.

She currently teaches aerobics at The Hamilton-Madison Houses Recreation Center. In 2007, along with her husband, Allison launched “Fitness Revelations, LLC.,” a holistic approach to health, fitness and life. Through Fitness Revelations, the McCants are able to share their ministry and passion for becoming the best that God destined them to be.

Allison has completed another internship in 2009 at the Asser Levy Recreational Center under the direction of Nancy Klitsner (Fitness Coordinator) for the New York Parks and Recreation. She comes with an extensive amount of experience in this field and is ready and able to teach and instruct a group or individual on how to sculpt and condition their body.


Allison is a student at Nyack College, where she is completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. She is married to Deric McCants and they have one daughter, Alexis. “As a wife and mother, I work hard to maintain a balance in my life and to advocate for a healthy lifestyle in my home,” she says. “I am always seeking ways to improve myself and I also take pride in helping others.”
