"Alliwo" is a nickname that combines Allison Wojtowecz's first and last names. It was created by her 1st-grade art teacher, and somehow she's never been able to shake it since.

About
Alliwo grew up in a suburb of Austin, Texas and ended up attending college at The University of Texas at Austin. She received two degrees in her 4 years there: a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre & Dance, and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a Health Fitness Instructor minor.

She remains in Austin, Texas where she works a "real job" during the week and spends her evenings doing standup comedy and weekends performing Shakespeare. It's a grind, but someone's gotta do it!

Knowledge Base
As a certified personal trainer, certified nutrition coach, and professional actor - "Alliwo" has a variety of topics she likes to discuss.

She is a purveyor of finding what works for your long-term health by testing out what foods make you feel great, finding the ones that don't, and knowing how to eat so that you perform your best long-term. Food is a behavior, and by changing some simple habits in your life - it's suddenly routine to remain healthy. She encourages people to eat as naturally as possible and source from organic & cruelty-free As for workouts, her training at UT taught her that multi-planar movement is the training style of the future. We move forward and backward in almost any "traditional" workout, so she likes to focus on getting people to move side to side as well as adding some rotations in there. She promotes using your legs to take you places whenever possible, and going for a bike rather than a car when walking takes too long.

On the performance front, Alliwo's focus has largely been in classical theatre, particularly Shakespeare. She is also an amateur standup comic, attending 5 or more open mic a week to try new material. Her degree in theatre from UT helped build a solid analytical background in plays of many varieties, as well as analyzing the performance of a show. She is still working in the space, with performances for a regular Shakespeare troupe in Austin.
