{"bio":"Alison is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She helps clients heal from disordered eating behaviors and navigate nutrition in a healthy, non-restrictive way. She always wanted to incorporate a fitness certification into her nutrition work. Alison believes Pilates can help us find new ways to appreciate the amazing things our bodies are capable of doing rather than focusing on what we dislike.\n\nWhile exercise has been a part of Alison’s life since her college days, she started practicing Pilates later when the Club Pilates Garden City studio opened. She loves the endless variety that Pilates has to offer, and how it can challenge us both physically and mentally. Eager to start teaching Pilates, Alison completed the comprehensive teacher training program through Club Pilates. She now incorporates teaching Pilates with her nutrition work.\n\nWhat else does Alison enjoy besides a good plank? Spending time with her husband, two boys, and her Goldendoodle. She loves the Adirondacks in summer, sitting on any beach, writing, and waking up early to enjoy her coffee in silence before anyone else in the house wakes up.","clubready_id":"85846708","headshot":{"url":"https://a.mktgcdn.com/p/KE7Kvztuw8jds7J9aqRklaR-Prj4JkGDqdkrcOl08hs/480x480.jpg","altText":"","type":"image"},"hero":{"altText":"","type":"image"},"hs_child_table_id":0,"hs_created_at":1647243097601,"hs_deleted_at":0,"hs_id":68451149626,"hs_initial_published_at":1732208961440,"hs_is_edited":false,"hs_name":"Alison Barkman","hs_path":"gardencity-clubpilates-garden-city-ny-alison-barkman","hs_published_at":1732347149287,"hs_updated_at":1672213821441,"hs_updated_by_user_id":9702202,"is_external":0,"locations":[{"id":23699012715,"isPublished":true,"name":"Garden City","type":"foreignid"}],"name":"Alison Barkman","seq":82,"show_bio":1,"site_slug":"clubpilates-garden-city-ny-alison-barkman","slug":"clubpilates-garden-city-ny-alison-barkman","title":"Instructor","yext_id":"4532035800266374304"}
