Last week, Johnstone finished his daily workout and slouched in a chair at the Bare Hills Racquet and Fitness Club in northern Baltimore, where he has been the head squash pro for more than eight years. Six white-walled squash courts with glass doors sprawled in front of him. His office, which is little more than a desk and burgundy swivel chair, sat behind him.

Allison Woodward Joins Bare Hills Staff

November 2012

The Bare Hills Racquet and Fitness Club is proud to announce the addition of Allison Woodward as our new Group Fitness and Wellness Director! Allison has spent a lifetime combining her passion for exercise and athletics into a career, "a way of life". An athlete from the early age of four to playing two sports in college, she loves to challenge herself to grow stronger - physically, mentally and spiritually. Allison started her career in Health and Wellness right out of college after she earned her BS in Health and Education from Roanoke College. She began a teaching career at The Park School, as well as teaching fitness classes. After a decade as a teacher, she wanted to stay home and raise her children so she worked as The Group Exercise and Personal Trainer Director at Meadow Mill Athletic Club. This allowed her to remain connected to her career, as well as to her four children. Over the past five years, Allison worked as a Wellness Advocate for Corporate Wellness programs. In this position she utilized her fitness, nutrition and motivation expertise to guide employees to make behavior changes to decrease their health risks. Allison holds herself to a high standard, which you will feel through her passion and commitment in each class, workshop, or private training. Her "fullness for life" will become contagious. In 2011, Allison competed in the Lake Placid Ironman in which she qualified for the World Championship Ironman in Kona Hawaii, her lifelong dream, believing that “impossible does not exist!” A Baltimore native, Allison's goal is to empower others to find their own inner athlete and to know that whatever your dream, anything is possible! When she is not training she is spending time with her children Jackson, Mason, Peyton and Grayson, her husband Rob, and their dog Duke.
