High Level Fitness

My goal is to help people achieve their fitness and weight loss goals through a positive, confidence building, and evidence-based approach. I have worked in the exercise and fitness industry for over 15 years, hold a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology, am an active CSEP member with CEP designation, and am in the process of completing a Masters of Public Health, in Health Promotion. I offer personalized fitness coaching either face to face or online for those who are not in the same city. In the warmer months of the year I offer outdoor fitness classes including Dogilates which is a dog-friendly group walk and fitness class in the park. Based on my training and experience I am able to work with clients who have injuries or medical conditions (additional medical clearance may be required) and offer general evidence-based nutritional advice as outlined in the CSEP-CEP scope of practice. I believe that that fitness industry is fraught with gimmicks, false advertising, and unrealistic promises which cause people frustration when their expectations are not met. This is partially due to advertising in magazines, TV programs, celebrities, and MLM marketing scams that are not required to back up their claims except with anecdotal stories. My aim is to help people navigate through the minefield of information, examine the available evidence, and set personalized, realistic goals, with a focus on sustainable results, and to have fun doing it! Because if you're not having fun, then what is the point of it all?
