Our Trainers

Helen’s love of fitness began at an early age.  She practiced dance, gymnastics as well as track and field. She’s an Exercise Physiologist with 35 over years’ experience. She is also a certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, nutrition consultant and Senior fitness specialist. 

Helen see’s exercise as an important element in the prevention and treatment of disease. She takes training to an advanced level by conducting and interpreting physical fitness assessments and developing exercise prescriptions for people who are healthy or have medically controlled diseases. She enjoys motivating people so they can achieve their personal goals and improve their overall quality of life.

It was with this passion for helping each of her clients in a unique way that was the foundation for forming Unique Health & Fitness in 2001.

George Bein

George has been a AFAA certified personal trainer since 2007. He likes to combine strength training with endurance and stamina training. He strives to help his clients each achieve their goals and help them accomplish things they hadn’t thought possible. George makes the workout challenging, but enjoyable by adding his great sense of humor; with Georgie, you’ll be sure want to come back for your next session. Personally, George enjoys mountain climbing, camping, skiing, biking as well as hiking.

Alison has been an AFAA-certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 2005. Her love of fitness initially stemmed from a desire to challenge herself physically but developed into much more once she recognized the mind/body connection.

Exercise became a healthy way to manage the stresses of life. Her love for coaching inspired her to open her own spin studio, which she owned and operated for six years. Alison’s personal struggles as someone living with Multiple Sclerosis have given her the ability to motivate her clients through a true belief that “anyone can do it” if they’re willing to put in the work and have the desire to make it happen.

Lauren’s fitness journey began after the birth of her first child when she wanted to find workouts that maximize results in short pockets of time.
