In 2014, Alison was named “Best Personal Trainer” in the Northeast, along with fellow Empire Tri Club Coach Chris Mosier on Competitor.com. Alison is a national fitness expert who has been featured in Fitness Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fox 5 News, TRI Magazine, The Active Times, Well & Good and more. She has been competing in triathlons for 19 years, ranging from Sprint to Ironman distance and is a multi-time overall female champion at local and regional races. Alison has completed the infamous swim from Alcatraz to mainland San Fransisco, the 2.4 mile Ironman Lake Placid swim in 1:06 and frequently exits the swim in the top 5% of the field in triathlon events. She is an American Red Cross Lifeguard with other certifications including USAT, CPR, First, Aid & AED.

Marty Munson is a USAT Level 1 coach and a US Master’s Swimming-certified coach. She was a late-onset athlete, coming to triathlon in her 40s. Life hasn’t been the same since—in a good way. She stopped counting triathlons completed—from sprints to 70.3s—at around 30.
In 2013, she did the Manhattan Island Marathon swim as a relay, which was the gateway drug for a new addiction to marathon swimming. She’s since swum around Manhattan solo (28.5 miles), and has completed the Swim Around Charleston, Swim Around Key West, and the 17-mile Rose Pitonof Swim from Manhattan to Coney Island, and many more.
She’s a wellness and communications expert who’s written about health, fitness, and triathlon for outlets including Triathlete, Competitor, Marie Claire, Dr. Oz The Good Life, Prevention, Shape, and O, the Oprah Magazine.
