“Alice is a remarkable instructor - the best I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of how the body moves and functions seems endless. Alice has transformed how I view core strength and how I exercise overall. I have worked with Alice for the past 18 months, and my running times and my riding performance have significantly improved, not to mention I have better alignment and posture, and increased core strength. Plus she is a delightful person so each session is very enjoyable.”
Alice Diamond hails from NYC where she trained as a dancer and extensively in The Gyrotonic Expansion System for over two decades after earning a BA in Philosophy from McGill University. In 1996, Alice worked as an ACE-certified personal trainer at Equinox in NYC doing additional training there in PNF stretching, functional fitness, and prenatal fitness. In 1997, Alice moved to Boulder, Colorado where she cofounded Boulder’s first Gyrotonic studio after which she opened her own.
Wanting a hands-on method to work with clients, Alice embarked on a journey to learn Thai massage. In 2010, she completed a 2 week immersion at the Lotus Palm school in Montreal, the first of many Thai massage trainings. Wanting to expand her “toolbox” further, Alice completed a year long Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training with renowned educator Kelly Kane in NYC. Alice then returned to Boulder to open Diamond Fitness.
Additionally, Alice trained with movement educator Norman Allard, D.C, with whom she completed a 6 month course in Functional Anatomy, with Elysabeth Williamson, founder of Principle Based Partner Yoga with whom she completed an immersive teacher training, and with Cathy Gauch, founder of Aircat Aerial Arts with whom she completed an Aerial Yoga teacher training and then assisted during several subsequent trainings.
Alice and her partner, Rudy Royston, moved to Easton in the spring of 2023. Alice is excited to be part of this burgeoning community and to be putting down new roots for Diamond Fitness.
