Synergy is a twenty plus year veteran in the Personal Training arena.  Owned and operated by Alison Casey Taglianetti, B.S., NSCA~CPT, Synergy Personal Training puts the emphasis on YOU!  Our approach to fitness enhancement is based entirely on identifying your specific needs and designing an individualized exercise program to meet those needs.  This approach ensures proper intensity levels, movement techniques, and thoroughness to your workout regime.

The Synergy commitment is to provide the safest, most effective programming for each client.  Owner and operator, Alison  Casey-Taglianetti has long been recognized as one of the top trainers in the area.  Dating back to the 1980's, Alison's work with the Providence Colllege Men's Hockey Team launched her passion for training elite athletes for optimal performance.  In addition, her time in Rhode Island was further spent devoted to enhancing the lives of Cardiac Rehabilitation patients thru exercise and positive lifestyle changes.  Many years in Canada were to follow where Alison worked at perfecting her instructor abilities in the Group Exercise arena.  In 1990, Alison moved to Pittsburgh with her family and established herself through helping all clients of all fitness levels in achieving their personal goals.  She has served as Director of Sports Perfromance to UPMC's Center For Sports Medicine as well as a consultant to UPMC.  Alison has trained numerous athletes represented by SFX Sports Talent Agency along with other high school, collegiate and professional athletes.  She can frequently be seen on the Healthy For Life Fit Bits which air on the Pittsburgh ABC affiliate WTAE.  Alison's proudest accomplishment lies in her role as mother to her five children:  Patrick, Andrew, Jon, Louis and Corey. 


At Synergy, we utilize the Technogym Kinesis Functional Movement System for all our training.  This system includes 4 separate  stations that collectively boast over 800 different exercises.  The 60-minute class which consists of 10 to 16 different stations is the ideal format for enhancing CV strength & endurance, maximizing caloric expenditure, optimizing lean muscle mass & strength, and constantly demanding support from the CORE muscles.  Agility, balance, co-ordination, flexibility and posture also serve to benefit.  In this day and age of too much to do and too little time..... the Kinesis program is the ultimate in multi-tasking with the outcome simple.... results!  

Personal Training is held in the Pennsylvania Martial Arts Academy (609 Washington Ave).
