Shoulder Injury Recovery Takes More Than Physical Therapy. Build Resilience.
Our SE Portland studio | NE Portland at Me Fitness | Online Coaching
Maybe you've been discharged from PT but your shoulders still hurt and have limited movement. Maybe you have what Allison calls menopause shoulder, when progesterone declines and inflammation increases.
Allison Pelot is a personal trainer in SE Portland specializing in injury recovery, post-rehab, and injury prevention strength training. We work with everyday athletes who refuse to let pain define what's possible.
Allison has worked with countless clients to rebuild their shoulders post injury or just everyday wear and tear. Oftentimes shoulder pain could be a call for more strength.
Our Approach
Our approach to injury recovery is rooted in full-range-of-motion strength training through the ATG (Knees Over Toes) method, combined with Allison's background in exercise science and holistic health.
Instead of avoiding the areas that hurt, we train them -- progressively, safely, and intentionally. We restore joint integrity, rebuild tendon and ligament resilience, and develop the kind of real-world strength that lets you move without fear.
Every program is fully personalized. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or bridging the gap after physical therapy, we meet you exactly where you are and build from there.
Injury Recovery
What makes Pure Energy Different
We focus on joint health, mobility, and full range of motion -- not just muscles
We rebuild strength in the exact areas that have been weakened, neglected, or compensated around
We create lasting results, not just temporary relief
Qualifications
What is ATG?
Allison holds a BS in Exercise Science from GA State University, and is a certified ATG Level 3 Coach and a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Practitioner.
ATG Focuses on joint integrity, tendon and ligament health, and pain-free mobility. ATG helps you build resilience and strength. This is most important as we go through hormonal changes which directly affects the health of your connective tissue.
The result? A more athletic, capable, and liberated body--so you can be the athlete you want to be and live the active, pain-free life you deserve.
Using a proven system, we strengthen the shoulder girdle, improve mobility, and build the kind of durable strength that supports you for life.

"I started working with her after shoulder and knee injuries sidelined me from the gym. She created a custom plan to help me get moving again, and I achieved steady gains in flexibility and strength with the Knees Over Toes program. Additionally, she addressed areas of muscle weakness vs. overcompensating ones and as a result my form has improved. Allison is great to work with and is positive and encouraging too. I am feeling confident in my body again and ready for adventure travels."
"Allison Pelot at Pure Energy Wellness is a fantastic trainer and I highly recommend her for people of all fitness levels! She has helped to bring me from a very low physical point in 2022 to hitting regular strength and stability goals! We've progressed from weakness/ability assessment through flexibility & balance, endurance, and this past winter I started hitting solid core-strength and stability goals with weights and resistance. I also know she has never let me anywhere near an injury from over-extending myself, and she has always guided me to maintainable goals."
"Training with Allison has been a game-changer for us."
"We've had the pleasure of working with Allison for many years and have become noticeably stronger, healthier, and more mobile as a result. Our flexibility and mobility have improved significantly, and we feel better in our bodies every day. One of the biggest transformations has been the strength and stability we've gained in our backs and knees. This has set us up for success during ski season--we enjoy skiing so much more now because our knees no longer hurt afterwards, and we feel significantly stronger on the slopes. Allison's workouts are thoughtfully personalized, always challenging, and never boring. She knows exactly how to push us in the best way possible. What sets her apart is her unwavering positivity, genuine encouragement, and deep care for our overall well-being--both physical and mental. If you're ready to make a real change and want a coach who will support you every step of the way, look no further than Allison."
-Shelly & Dave"Feeling Stronger, More Energetic, and Excited to Move Again"
"Before training with Allison, I struggled with balance, had become quite sedentary, and felt anxious--especially about using certain equipment or doing movements I didn't feel confident in. Since working with Allison, I've noticed huge improvements. I feel much more stable during movements and far less anxious trying new workouts--even those involving equipment I hadn't used before. I'm beginning to regain my strength, and I feel more energetic overall with a growing desire to stay active. This shift has changed my life. I'm moving more throughout the day, walking longer distances, and I feel stronger when handling everyday tasks like lifting heavier items. Most importantly, I feel more confident in my body and what it's capable of. Allison is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and encouraging. She adapts movements to my body and gives honest, positive feedback. Her supportive, kind presence makes every session feel safe and empowering."
