“After suffering two back-to-back injuries, I could not complete my daily tasks. Alec helped me regain my strength and confidence with a tailored program that prioritized safety and gradual progression. With his help and guidance, I’ve made a swift recovery! The absolute best physical fitness trainer in Missoula!” -Tracy P.
 
“I’ve been working with Alec for about a year now and couldn’t be happier with both the process and the results. The improvement in my strength and athletic performance has been remarkable. My body feels great and a lot of nagging discomforts have disappeared entirely.”   -Matt G.
 
“Working with Alec has been an incredible experience; he makes every session engaging while pushing me to achieve things I never thought possible. His passion for training is contagious, it has not only helped me reach my fitness goals but has also made the journey fun and inspiriting along the way!” -Kymra A. 
 
“I have had over the past 14 months the distinct pleasure of working with Alec McNeill at The PEAK Blue Mountain. I have trained with 6 prior trainers in Missoula, having minimal results and lacking consistent continuity and guidance with progression and motivation. Through his guidance and experience I am transforming my life and my carcass! I’m adding muscle where I didn’t know it existed and am seeing vascularity that in 54 years has never seen daylight! I can’t even come close to saying what he means to me and my family! Alec is the real deal when it comes to making lasting changes. Rigor, routine and relationship have made my existence more palatable and rewarding.”       –Kirk E.
 
“Alec’s enthusiasm for his craft is downright contagious and his skills and knowledge are vast. After a good half-century of failed effort, I no longer have to drag myself to workouts, and I am seeing significant results. Alec is a great Personal Trainer, an all-around good person, and a tremendous asset to the training profession.” -Marie B.
 
“Alec is an amazing motivator, pushing me to reach new fitness goals while keeping sessions fun and engaging. His friendly attitude and dedication have been key to my success.” -Dean A.

Jessica Van Atta

Personal Trainer
Jessi has a true passion for helping people unlock their full potential. Fitness isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling strong, confident, and empowered in your own skin.
 
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build muscle, train for a specific event, or simply develop healthier habits, Jessi will work with you to create a plan that fits your goals, lifestyle, and fitness level. 
 
Her fitness journey really took off when she realized how crucial strength and conditioning were to her own fieldwork as a wildlife biologist. She carried heavy loads, navigated rugged terrain, and pushed her body to its limits day in and day out. It taught her the importance of staying physically fit to tackle any challenge—lessons she brings into every training session.
 
When Jessi is not personal training, she enjoys training for and competing in long-distance triathlons.
 
“I believe that everyone has the ability to transform, and I’m here to guide you through that journey.”
