Allison Pickford

With years of sales and marketing experience in the corporate world, Allison made a successful move into the fitness industry 12 years ago. She applied her business savvy, entrepreneurial spirit, and health and fitness know-how to the launch of a home-based HYPOXI Training business.

Following a thriving year and a strong belief in the effectiveness of HYPOXI Training Allison approached the Hayya! Club and the Middle East’s first HYPOXI Studio was born in May 2006. From what began as a team of three is now twenty-strong with a second centre opened in Umm Suqeim in February 2009.

During her seven years in Dubai, Allison has built up a wealth of Middle East-specific experience, while her exposure to a multitude of nationalities has created an understanding of different genetic body types and varying diets.

Allison’s approach is very hands-on and customer focused, this coupled with an intense dedication to providing exceptional service is what sets her apart from others. Her forte is interacting with people and she prides herself on being accessible to her clientele. Allison places great emphasis on training her staff to ensure that they achieve and maintain high standards of customer service. Her motto is that she is only as strong as her team – and her staff’s dynamism and dedication is testament to this ethos.

Allison has successfully completed Master Training in Austria – HYPOXI’s country of origin – becoming the first Master Trainer in the Middle East. She has transferred her expertise to the dedicated HYPOXI team who are continuously upskilled through a variety of health, nutrition and fitness courses conducted through recognized educational institutions.
