👋 Get to know Ali

Ali was born in Liechtenstein but has lived in various countries growing up until settling down in Vancouver in 2017. Her passion for sports has been there from a young age, but it wasn’t until she worked with a personal trainer that she realized how much of a positive effect strength training had on her body, physically and mentally. She completed her Personal Trainer Certification in 2017 in London, UK.

Her goal is to replicate the effects her Personal Trainer had on her at the time: to create a fun and safe environment that teaches clients sustainable health and fitness habits.

She loves to cook, travel, explore, and read in her free time.

What our clients say about Ali

Emma G.

Would highly recommend Ali Wanger ! I really felt like she... prioritized the goals that I had and was incredibly supportive in general, but especially in fostering a healthy mindset to all types of food and not "overly pushing" one self. I felt very comfortable talking with her when things would sometimes get off track. She would offer both cheerleading and very practical and specific ways to look at the "stumble" and how to get back on track. I'm happy that I was connected with Ali and ended up working with her for much longer than I had planned because of her support and how empowered I felt.read more

I have been training with coach Ali Wanger for the past two... months. It has been a truly amazing and transformative experience! I cannot recommend Ali enough. I went into the coaching not really knowing what to expect, but I have made huge progress over just two months. When coaching a client through exercises she observes the form super carefully and provides feedback on it. She is very dedicated and specific when it comes to providing nutritional advice. I loved that she looked at pictures of what I already ate day-to-day and worked with me on adjustments, rather than providing broad nutritional guidelines. She even provided suggestions on the specific amount of each type of food I could eat e.g. how many grams of yogurt or sweet potatos for a meal/snack. I personally found this super useful. She was always very accessible and responsive through the trainer app or by text message. The training is very goal-oriented and the progress tracking is very thorough, so you know exactly what you have achieved. Ali is also super positive! I highly recommend Ali and Iron Lab!read more

Ali is an incredibly supportive and understanding trainer,... especially considering the challenges I face as a mother of two young children with mental health challenges. Her patience, encouragement, and flexibility are clearly invaluable assets in helping me navigate.The fact that Ali motivates me not to give up, despite the hurdles I encounter, speaks volumes about her dedication and commitment to my progress. It's evident that she not only recognizes my struggles but also actively works to bring me back to a positive place when I falter, demonstrating a deep level of care and understanding.Moreover, her kindness and ability to understand my unique needs and pace of work are commendable. In a fast-paced environment , having a trainer who is attuned to my individual circumstances and provides tailored support can make all the difference in my success and well-being.I wholeheartedly recommend Ali as a trainer for anyone seeking guidance and support in their weight loss and strength training/ journey. With Ali as your trainer, you'll have a compassionate mentor who will motivate you to overcome obstacles and reach your full potential. I can't recommend her highly enough!read more

Excellent personal training program tailored to your specific... needs and will provide positive results if you do the work. I've been working with Ali for a couple of months and I have only positive things to say 🤩 Ali is a knowledgeable, effective, supportive and wonderful personal trainer, who provides practical guidance to empower the client on their fitness and wellness journey. During the in-person training sessions, Ali pays close attention to the body alignment and will give feedback on how to correct posture to avoid injuries. In the check-ins, Ali always provide encouraging feedback and useful tips and tricks to improve performance, nutrition, recovery, or help with any thing I may be struggling with.I like the holistic approach to personal training at Iron Lab; the coaches have a thorough intake process that involves an initial call with Martin the head coach, followed by a comprehensive questionnaire to understand where you are in terms of the different aspects of health and fitness, then an assessment session, all to understand your own personal needs, motivations, and roadblocks so that they can customize the training program for you.Overall, I'm impressed with the effort and time the coaches put into the program, and I am seeing positive results. I highly recommend Iron Lab for anyone who wants to invest in their health and improve their fitness and wellness 💪read more
