Get Strong.
Move Without Pain.
Stay That Way For Life.

Alchimie combines movement assessment, mobility, coordination and strength training to help you build a body you trust and keep doing what you love.

At 24, a knee condition doctors compared to someone twice my age nearly ended my athletic career. Choosing to rebuild my own strength instead of undergoing surgery is what set me on this path.

Sound familiar?

“I don’t trust my body anymore.”

“I’m tired of working around my pain.”

“I miss doing the things I love.”

Those thoughts are a sign it’s time to approach movement differently.

My job is to help you listen to it

You need a plan that starts with understanding how your body moves and that adjusts to your lifestyle

As we get older, maintaining strength, mobility, balance, and coordination becomes more important. But when pain shows up, it’s easy to start avoiding the movements that bother you. Over time, you may stop doing things you used to enjoy because you don’t trust your body the same way. The goal isn’t to push through pain. It’s to understand how you move, build from where you are, and create a plan that helps you feel stronger and more confident in what your body can do.

The Alchimie method

BUILD A BODY YOU CAN RELY ON

In my point of view, a resilient body is built with the 5 Fundamental Pillars

Balance

“I feel steady.”

Build control and stability to feel more confident before adding greater demands.

Mobility

“I move freely.”

Give your body access to the movement it needs by addressing stiffness and restrictions.

Coordination

“I trust my body.”

Learn to control how your body moves, building greater confidence in what it can do.

Strength

“I feel capable.”

Build strength to prepare your body for the physical demands of life and maintain your

Longevity

“I keep doing what I love.”

Bring it all together to build a strong, capable, and adaptable body that lasts.

MY GOAL IS TO HELP YOU BUILD A BODY THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOUR LIFE.

About me

PAIN TOOK AWAY MY IDENTITY. I LEARNED HOW TO BUILD IT BACK.

I grew up playing sports. In my early 20s, I trained as a dancer, earned a scholarship to study musical theatre in New York, and eventually performed professionally.

Then pain changed everything.

After a demanding dance contract, I returned to New York with severe pain in both knees. I stopped dancing. I stopped playing sports. Even walking up the stairs created fear because I expected pain.

Pain didn’t only take away my movement.
I was losing part of my identity.

Before going down the road of surgery, I started learning how to train my body differently.

Little by little, I started moving again.
Then dancing.
Then playing sports.

But the biggest change?
I claimed my identity back.

My journey isn’t your journey. Your body, your challenges, and what you want to get back to will be different.

But the goal is the same:
Build a body you trust so you can keep doing the things that make you feel like yourself.

The difference a plan makes

THE WORKOUT ISN’T THE GOAL. HOW YOU YOUR LIFE IS.

Without a plan

With Alchimie

How I train

Three ways to work together.

Personal Coaching

Individualized training built around you.

Start with an assessment, then follow a program based on your goals, movement, experience, and lifestyle. Your training adapts as you progress.

Best for:
People who want individual guidance, accountability, and ongoing adjustments.

Group Training

Train alongside others while still having options that meet you where you are.

Small-group coaching combines structured workouts, coaching, community, and individual exercise adjustments when needed.

Best for:
People who enjoy training with others while still receiving coaching and support.

Home & Gym Programs

Follow a structured training program without individualized coaching.

Choose a Home Program designed around common home equipment or a Gym Program designed for a commercial gym.

Best for:
People who feel comfortable training independently but want a clear plan to follow.

WHAT TRAINING WITH ALCHIMIE FEELS LIKE

Coaching built around your body, your goals, and your life.

Case study

One of my clients, managing structural scoliosis, rebuilt a training practice around it, not despite it.

Working with Malcolm has made that process feel possible again. From the beginning, he listened carefully, encouraged me without pushing too hard, and created workouts that felt both manageable and effective.

From day 1, they took time to understand my goals, challenges, lifestyle and created a complete personalized plan that worked perfectly for my life!. Not only I lost weight, but also gained strength, energy and confidence..

Malcolm has helped me recover from injuries by increasing my strength and stability. Each exercise is personalized to me and every workout is both fun and educational!

Working with Coach Malcolm not only improved my back problems, but he has given me hope for the future. After two complex spinal surgeries in the past two years I was hesitant to work with a trainer. Although I could barely walk, Malcolm set up a plan and allowed me to slowly build strength to walk again. One session I told him I had the best day of my life because I could walk around town with a friend pain-free, something I have been unable to do for a long time.

Each week Malcolm shows up and asks how I'm feeling and before we get into our workout routine, he focuses on exercises which address my trouble areas which help significantly and then we can go on to my workout.

Malcolm is like no other coach. He doesn't show up with gimmick ads or billboards promising the world. He just shows up with his heart, listens to your goals and helps you achieve them to the best of your physical abilities.

Malcolm is not your usual personal trainer (I've worked with 2 others). He wanted to understand the pain or problem that caused me to come to him in the first place. He listened and personalized his approach for me, focusing on dynamic movement and core.

He explains the mechanics of each movement so I can get the most out of it and it really helps when I workout on my own. I feel more confident my workouts and I feel less discomfort after them. I highly recommend working with Malcolm!

Simply the best. I've suffered from recurring injuries and have spent time and money with PT's and other help. Malcolm is the most knowledgeable coach I've ever met and I'm stronger now than I have been in decades if not ever.
