Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before getting started
-
Not at all. Most of my clients come to me as complete beginners or after years away from exercise. I meet you exactly where you are and build a program safe and appropriate for your current fitness level and health history.

Yes — this is one of my primary specialties. I regularly train adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. I hold an Exercise Therapy Assessment certification (upper and lower body) allowing me to safely work around knee pain, hip problems, lower back issues, osteoporosis, and muscle loss conditions.

Yes. Online programming is available to clients anywhere in Canada. You get a customized weekly training plan, monthly Google Meet check-in, and direct messaging access.
