Ally Norton

Hey ya'll! My name is Ally and I am the owner and founder of Built with Brains. I have been an athlete from a young age, playing over 10 different sports growing up. My life has always centered around being active and fueling my body for optimum performance. I was a collegiate field hockey and rugby athlete while I pursued my Bachelor's of Science in Biology. With little competitive sports left for a washed up college athlete, I started running half marathons and triathlons. I have ran over 13 races and loved my endurance training. During my time as an endurance athlete I continued to prioritize weight lifting and fell more in love with fitness. I became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer in 2018 and started Built with Brains. In 2019 I switched gears and decided to try my hand at bodybuilding. I am now a 3 time nationally qualified figure competitor with dreams of obtaining my pro card. Aside from fitness, I am also a physician assistant. Healthcare has always been a passion of mine and it has taught me so much about the human body and performance along the way. I look forward to helping guide you on the journey to becoming a healthier you!

Jason McAlister

My name is Jason and I am a coach for Built with Brains. I was a football player and track athlete in high school, and went on to college to obtain my Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition and Fitness from Clarion University in Pennsylvania. While in college, I started my bodybuilding career in Men's Physique. I won my class and placed 2nd overall at Teen Nationals in 2017 and have competed at multiple shows since then. If you can't find me in the gym, you can definitely find me on the golf course as I love a good day on the green. I have over a decade of weight lifting experience that I would share with all of you.
