BIO
My passion is to help people change their lives in the simplest and most realistic way possible. I believe everyone deserves the right to have good health and be satisfied with themselves inside and out.
I was really skinny and weak when I was in high school, and sickness often bothered me. I started going to the gym, and my posture improved, my immune system got stronger, and, most importantly, I became more confident.
After graduating from McMaster University with a degree in Finance, I chose a completely different career path and became a personal trainer. I have helped many of my clients achieve their goals and improve their health, and I will continue to help more people with my skills and knowledge. It’s never too late to start exercising, and I will help you reach your goals in a safe and fun way.

BIO
I began my fitness journey six years ago with the sole intent of being “skinny.” I under-ate and over-exercised, avoiding weightlifting in fear of getting “bulky.” Fast forward to today, I have won gold medals in bodybuilding, and I’ve fallen in love with the process of setting goals, putting in the work, and surpassing even my own expectations.
Throughout my journey, I’ve learned how to effectively train in the gym and diet properly to fuel my body based on my goals. I built muscle, developed physical and mental toughness, and became confident in my body. The gym has taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and believing in oneself.
Let me help you see results faster using a science-based approach to show you how to effectively and efficiently eat and train. I always say, “Work smarter, not harder.” My goal is to have you eating more, exercising less, and finally seeing results. Book a complimentary session with me, and I’ll create a workout program and provide macronutrient advice. Together, we’ll have fun and help you reach your goals. You’ll feel amazing when you start today.

BIO
I am passionate about helping individuals achieve the body they want without food restrictions or spending hours exercising. My goal is to educate others on how to increase their metabolism and ditch dieting for life.
As a woman who struggled with my own body image and relationship with food, I understand how mentally draining it can be. That’s why I am committed to helping individuals overcome these challenges and feel confident in their bodies while enjoying the foods they love.

BIO
As a skinny kid growing up, I wasn’t very confident due to my body image. Working out provided a means of self-improvement. As I grew stronger, my confidence rose exponentially, and I felt more assured in my newly built stature.
From then on, I wanted to help others experience the same satisfaction I found through exercise. Whether it’s getting toned, losing weight, or feeling healthier, I want to help others reach their goals and feel better about themselves.
As a trainer, my clients’ goals are just as important as my own. By holding them accountable and creating a sustainable program tailored to their goals and experience, I aim to introduce them to a new outlook on fitness. With this approach, it’s only a matter of time before we can build a healthier, more reinforced lifestyle together.

BIO
Growing up as a competitive swimmer, I’ve always been interested in and familiar with physical training and health. I further nurtured this interest during my undergraduate studies, where I learned about human anatomy and spent my summers shadowing at a physiotherapy clinic. My experience taught me that any physical journey, whether rehabilitation or weight loss, is gradual and not linear.
I firmly believe that knowledge is the essential foundation for physical training and nutrition. My goal is to guide my clients to reach their goals while simultaneously educating them on important concepts so they can independently sustain their progress.
Having personally struggled with negative body image after gaining weight from stopping swimming, I understand that physical training is also a mental journey. I strive to promote a positive lifestyle for my clients so they can feel confident working out and eating what they enjoy.
As a personal coach, I provide macronutrient advice, create workout programs for both the gym and home, and offer support to help clients reach their goals.
