As a kinesiologist and personal trainer for over 20 years, I believe that having a solid understanding of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics are foundational pieces in helping clients get their bodies into peak physical condition. I also believe a strong passion for "what you do" and the people you serve are incredibly important for a rewarding, long term career, and developing amazing relationships with the people you work with.
Drawing on principles found in a variety of activities such as yoga, pilates, martial arts, climbing, snowboarding etc, and life experiences is a part of how to make health and fitness interesting, enjoyable and FUN. Surprisingly, even rehabilitation can be "fun" (you might have to take a leap of faith with me on this one).
I love the unique intricacies each person brings to the table and by weaving in their personalities, experiences, understanding and attitude towards fitness (and ultimately their lives) I ensure that their fitness program is tailored to THEM.
Personal training and coaching are tools that I use to help clients unlock their potential to doing, being and achieving GREAT things!
