Dr. Derek - Alessi Fitness Inc

Thank Dr. Derek Alessi, after an evaluation and consultation he turned my unhealthy life around. He shared his experience and knowledge to lead me on a life changing path to recovery and success. I couldn’t be happier, I’ve lost 30 pounds, I exercise every day, and I’m very conscious of everything I put in my mouth. I could have never done this without his eye opening conversation. He really knows what he’s talking about and he cares about getting people healthy.

Have been working with the staff at alessi fitness for over a year now! The whole program of training, monitoring eating patterns and then the monthly Dexa Scan is a recipe for success! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you have never worked out before the staff breaks everything down to make the movements easy! Highly recommend!

Have been going for strength training 3 times a week for over a year now. I love how varied the semiprivate training is and how much stronger I’ve grown since I started.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The facilities are clean with extensive workout equipment

Amazing facility and trainers. Dr Derek has mastered the art of fat-loss and no one needs to starve to reach their goals.
Month 6 at Alessi Fitness=
I'm down 30lbs of fat, blood glucose is optimal and balanced, and I've maintained/gained muscle consistently.
I have zero complaints.

Dr. Derek is an informative, engaging, candid and supportive practitioner, who exemplifies the results of his approach to weight and fitness management.

Beginning with the initial consultation, he helps establish realistic expectations and achievable goals, supplies the tools and resources to accomplish them, and closes the loop with monthly results monitoring.

You might find his approach unusual. The idea that the relationship between weight management is more than simply an "energy imbalance" or "calories in vs calories out" or "eat less and move around more" is fairly new. But my experience in weight management and fitness over the last 9 years is absolutely supported by Dr. Derek's philosophy.

Since I started with him just over 90 days ago, his nutritional and exercise method has formed one of the final pieces to my personal puzzle, and helped me shed 10 lbs of stubborn body fat, while adding several pounds of muscle.

To be fair, it's not easy. It requires personal discipline and a willingness to change, which might include reframing your workouts into your most important meeting of the day and accepting that you can't out-train a poor diet.

But if you're prepared to follow a path to proven results, you can achieve them, too. Dr. Derek can help you get there.

Love this Fitness Center. Dr. Derek is highly knowledgeable and helpful. The personal trainers are fantastic. I have achieved wonderful results. Office staff is amazing to work with any scheduling issues. Can't say enough positive things about this place, except to say I highly recommend it!

Accountability for food choices and attending workouts is the key at Alessi Fitness. The apps for tracking food and exercise are easy to use and informative. There are products and personal meetings to help with the journey of reaching your goal.
Lots of positive support from the staff. I love that workouts are varied and proper form is stressed to prevent injury.
I’ve known about Alessi Fitness for years but always felt I could lose weight and get healthier on my own. Wish I had realized the truth sooner but I’m here now working toward a healthier me!

Trainers are amazing, they make you give maximum effort so you reach your goals. The whole program of training, monitoring eating patterns and then the monthly Dexa
Scan is a recipe for success! Highly recommend this program to anyone on the fence…you will not regret it!

In the 6 months I have been a member I have seen results I couldn’t accomplish in the past. The nutrition combined with exercise and guidance have been awesome!

I’ve been with Alessi Fit for 10 months and have NO regrets. The staff is great and really work with you to achieve your goals. If you put the time into this you will NOT regret it. Each month I feel and see improvement in my overall health. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to a great team!

I'm a 71 year old women with arthritic knees and very overweight. The minute I went in for my consultation I knew I was in the right place. I have been going to semi-private training sessions 3 times a week until I got sick with COVID. They kept in touch with me and I hope to be back in a week or two. I highly recommend Alessi Fitness as I know how much it has already helped me to learn the right foods to eat and how to finally quit being a couch potato. Everyone there is great. Sue Webber

This is clearly a 5 star business. Yes, it is a business but one that truly cares about you as a person. You are more than a client here. No matter what your objective (lose weight/body fat, increase stamina/strength, decrease medications, or just get general fitness/nutrition information) there is something here for you. The entire staff is extremely professional. Scheduling and other client logistics needs are taken care of in a quick and efficient manner. Your training will be tailored to you based on your objectives and and considerations you have such as nagging injuries, etc. The trainers are going to coach you through each exercise to refine your form and technique to ensure you get the most benefit and reduce the risk of injury.

If you are on the fence about checking this business out, don’t be. You will not go wrong and you will see that after your first visit.

After relocating back the Buffalo area I needed to get on track with my fitness and nutrition. I knew what to do but I was missing the accountability piece. Alessi Fitness, Inc.has helped me to make smarter food choices and has allowed me to workout on a regular basis. I log food items into an app and I have established a MWF routine for working out. The owner, trainers and staff all help to provide a nurturing environment to help reach your fitness and nutrition goals.

Dr. Derek put the complete package together for me. After years of disjointed efforts, I did the DEXA scan and consult and got introduced to the program. Exercise, nutrition and accountability. I'd been pretty good at exercise and nutrition, but without the accountability, I was floundering. Already making massive strides with the plan. Thanks to Derek and the team for everything.

So far so good. Im feeling better everyday. Thanks Ryan.
All the trainers are caring and want you to succeed.
After workouts I feel thankful im here now.
Thanks.

I’ve been going here for a little over a year and everyone is very professional. The trainers have assisted me through this journey. I enjoy coming here and I highly recommend this place.

I couldn't have made a better decision when I joined Dr. Derek and his team! They couldn't be more informed or supportive in helping to improve my diet and overall health and wellness. With their direction, and ever present drive, I have been able to drop almost 30 pounds of fat in 4 months. More importantly, I feel better and have more energy everyday. As I tell my friends, this Diet and Exercise thing really works! Thanks so much Dr. Derek and Staff. Looking forward to the next challenge!

Dr. Alessi and the trainers have made the start of my fitness/nutrition journey very easy. The staff are encouraging and everyone knows your name. I’m very happy with my choice to work with them.

Updated 10/27/2022: I am grateful for the support and knowledge the Alessi Fitness Family gives to me for my work outs and eating habits. They keep me on target and make me feel like part of their family as well.

UPDATE: This is a great place to get a full body workout each session. The trainers are there to help along the way. They are there to give pointers to help avoid injury and the motivation and positive energy are what keeps me coming back. I am truly happy that I decided to start my journey with them.

UPDATE: Six months in and the positive energy from the trainers is what keeps me coming back. They know my limitations and encourage me to keep going.
UPDATE: Two months later and I still feel the same. I am working towards my goals in a safe environment where I can still participate with my limitations. All the instructors are very knowledgeable about what workouts can be modified regardless of your prior injuries. They seem to truly care about this journey and are extremely encouraging.

If you are looking for a place to work out post a life changing event, this is the place for you. The instructors are very knowledgeable and understand my limitations. They are able to walk me through a modified workout that allows me to participate and feel like I can accomplish my goals without hurting myself further. If your goals are to become a healthier version of yourself, these are your people. They help you understand why you should make these lifestyle changes and support you through the process.

Alessi Fitness was the safe place that I needed to change my life.
I recently completed 1 year at Alessi's and my experience there has been remarkable. I have lost a significant amount of weight and I am no longer in pain. Dr. Derek and his team are professional, kind, & encouraging. If you do the work, you will get the results.

I started the program 4 months ago. It's exactly what I needed and I am onboard with the whole philosophy. The trainers are excellent and they are all great with encouragement. I also love the protein products which I would never have said before about protein drinks. No regrets. I would encourage all to join because of the physical benefits.

Excellent vibe. Excellent equipment and super clean. Dr. Alessi is thorough and gives you a play by play to reach your specific goals. I love it here.

I have been working with Dr. Derek since June and it has been the best decision for me. I have reduced medication and feel much better. Semi private training sessions are great! Chris is motivating and helps with modifications.

Learning a lot from Derek about nutrition. He puts it in a way I understand and backs it up with *my* results. Highly recommend.

Since joining the program I have felt stronger, have more energy, have less pain and sleep better at night. Dr. Derek and his talented team keep me on track and accountable. I look forward to the group classes, the one on one training sessions and improving each day!

Have been a member for 4 months. Very happy with my outcome. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Well worth the investment.

I have been a member for 3+ years, the monthly dexa scans keep you on your healthily diet, I am in the group workout twice a week and throughly enjoy the variety of exercises the people in our class and our trainers, Chris is helpful in explaining the exercises, how to do them correctly, what area were working on and modifications for those of us who need it

I've had a great experience with Dr. Derek and his crew. I'd argue that it's one of the most high-end facilities in WNY. My trainer Ryan is a real pro and great to work with. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option in the Buffalo area.

Every trainer provides excellent varied workouts. They are very supportive and make sure your form is correct which is equally important just a great staff!

They have a reasonable and good quality nutrition program. They also have very encouraging trainers that make sure you're doing well and learning how to take care of yourself.

I started 3weeks ago at Alessi Fitness and have noticed already my energy levels are way up. I am learning more about the good and bad food for me. The team here is very helpful and encouraging in every aspect whether it be in the exercise class or nutrition.

After my Covid weight gain. I went on search for a "real" life alternating health nutrition and exercise program. I found "Dr Derek" right down the street! The Dexa Scans really help you focus on your goals!
The logical explanation of "fat loss" is the best part!
The exercise classes have shown results and are actually fun!
The entire staff is the best around! Thanks to everyone!

Derek has been extremely helpful in cleaning up my eating habits. It is obvious that he does this because he cares. His staff of trainers is excellent. They are fantastic motivators for people of all skill level and ability. I actually look forward to exercising for the first time in my life!

At the age of 70 I decided to get in the best shape I can and stay that way for good. My wife said "Go to Alessi". I said "I can do this myself". So eight months ago I set a goal of losing 25 lbs. Three months later I lost 20 lbs.and prematurely said "I told you so". Three months after that I was still tying to lose the other 5 lbs. She repeated "Go to Alessi". So I did. Two weeks later I lost the 5 lbs.and more. And it was fun! Great staff, personal attention, and proper instruction from real professionals!

Dr Derek’s knowledge of nutrition and what it takes to lose weight is unmatched. He is readily available for questions and encouragement. My trainer Ryan is also very knowledgeable, attentive and motivating. The other trainers are friendly and professional. I’ve had a great, and successful, experience at Alessi Fitness.

If you put in the work the results will be great! Trainers are involved and caring of individual needs.

I thought to drop a few lines to share with you that I started to attend Alessi Fitness at the end of November. I'm very impressed and pleased with Dr. Derek and his team. They are AMAZING people! I'm impressed that Dr. Derek has a lot of patience and cares about me and his clients. I admired him and his teams for their motivation for us. I wish that I joined Alessi Fitness a few years ago. BUT I'm here now. Looking forward to my accomplishments.
Off the point, it's for people who are looking for their health style concerns, nutritions, exercise and other things. I strongly encourage you to visit Alessi Fitness and make an appointment with Dr. Derek. HAVE FAITH!

Started going to Alessi Fitness at the end of January and what a game changer! Dr. Derek and his team are AWESOME. Matt, Ryan, Chris, & Colm are wonderful and continue to challenge me every time. Dr. Derek really cares about his clients and shares his knowledge and truly encourages you to be the best you can as do all the trainers. Wish I joined 10 years ago!

The trainers are great. My personal training session is formatted to me and my abilities. The trainers are extremely personable, very professional and knowledgeable. They always give lots of encouragement. The semi private small group classes are great. They are challenging and fun at the same time. Dr Derek's knowledge of nutrition is superb. I've only been here for a month and I see great results already. I highly recommend coming here.

Dr. Derek and staff are great! They have helped me understand the importance of good nutrition. The training session are amazing, you really get the personalization that is needed to be successful in the journey to becoming fit.
