This highly popular program is for you if you are new to the gym, strength training or are looking to get back in shape after a long break from training. It is also great for anyone who wants to keep their strength training to 2-3 days per week.

You will learn the basic strength training moves, some fun, new exercises, and how to navigate the gym if need be. You will work on any muscular imbalances or weaknesses you may have (almost everyone has them) with a focus on core strength. This is a great, allover program for the novice or busy person, and is wonderful for partner training.

If you are completely new to strength training and looking to lose weight, you can expect that to happen after the first month or two of training.

(Recommended: 12 weeks minimum. Six weeks if you have a good understanding of basic strength moves. Most clients start with Kickstart and go on to train for 9-12+ months.)

Tone and Tighten is my second most requested training program. This training program is for you if you don't have much fat to lose (10-15 Ibs or less), if any, and want to improve or increase your strength and conditioning.

This is the perfect program to practice the proper techniques for body weight and resistance moves and... have fun and support while doing so.

Also, an excellent program to do as partner training with a friend, parent, sister or spouse.

(Recommended 8-12 Weeks minimum)

Fat will not keep winning this battle! Some women have tried everything and realize that they need some extra one on one professional support and tools to finally gain victory over their extra fat.

Yes, it can be more difficult for some women to lose weight than for others. Especially, if you have certain medical conditions, but IT CAN BE DONE! You will learn how to become a warrior in this, and other, areas of your life through exercise, nutrition and habit-based coaching.

(Recommended: 12-16 Weeks minimum)

Are you recovering from an old or new injury, have a frozen shoulder? What about tight hips, a painful back, weak knees, ankles or core? It's amazing how many conditions you can improve or even fix through a proper fitness program. This is program is where fitness truly meets real life.

Stop spending thousands of dollars on chiropractic, massage and physio, going back month after month, or even year after year, with the same painful issues or injuries. Chiro, massage and physio are often an important and necessary part of your overall treatment. I love and use these services myself, but you don't want to stop there. It is crucial to strengthen the weak areas of your body for change and lasting results.

Many people have found relief from chronic pain after beginning a Beyond Basics training program. (And exercise can also be a natural painkiller.)

Use the massage appointments as a reward for working hard on your physical fitness instead 🙂

Note: This program often works best with treatment and input from your physiotherapist, medical practitioner or chiropractor.

(Recommended: 8-12 Weeks minimum. Length of programming depends on severity of muscle weakness, imbalance or injury. Not recommended for partner training.)

This program is recommended for clients wanting to make fitness a way of life and remain strong and injury free. They might also have just a little extra fat around their waist they want to lose. This fun and challenging program includes all components of fitness, and can take place inside as well as outside, and might even include sports and other activities.

Suitable and a great fit for partner training.

(Recommended 12 Weeks to 1-2 Years)

This program is perfect for but not only for the expecting mother. The training and principles can apply to any woman who wants to become pregnant or has ever had children and now struggles with pelvic floor issues such as incontinence or sexual dysfunction, a weak core or diastasis recti.

Postnatal Training can include women up to menopause who may or may not have realized that they had retained some issues from their past pregnancies (such as minor incontinence), or thought it was just a fact of life and something to be accepted. Not true! There are often many things that can be done to improve these conditions.

True fitness starts from the inside out. From nutrition to deep core strengthening. This belief is finally catching on but often sorely lacking in fitness programs. One reason for this missing component is because the majority of strength programs have been developed and tested on young, male athletes.

While core strength is an important part of male fitness as well, it is often neglected or minimized because the overall training focus is on muscle gain and athletic development. Men haven't experienced the hormonal and enormous physical changes of carrying a baby. So, stop training like a man and become truly Girl Strong!

(Recommended: 6-12 weeks minimum. Ideal length of time for the expecting mom is 3 months prior to conception, through pregnancy and 4 months after birth. But even a 12 session package can go a long way to developing a stronger core.)

Fit for 2 involves Pre and Post Natal fitness and nutrition coaching for strength, conditioning and recovery for what is often one of the most special times and important time of your life! Not only are you responsible for your own health and preparing your body for its toughest challenge ever, but also for a tiny person who is completely dependent on you for everything. It can be challenging to balance the needs of your baby with your changing body, especially if you struggle with such conditions as morning sickness, gestational diabetes, diastasis recti or postpartum depression. We aren't meant to do this crazy, awesome journey alone.

(Ideal Training Time: 3 month prior to conception to 4 months postnatal but even 6 weeks can help.)

This super fun program includes all the major components of fitness for real life and athletic fitness. It has also been heavily influenced by one of my favourite physiotherapists who trains and rehabs top athletes. Extra core strength exercises are included to build a solid foundation so you can train safely and much more effectively than you can with most training programs.

Workouts include Reaction & Power, Resistance and Energy Systems (specialized cardio) Training. Personal trainers typically know how to develop good strength programs but get very little training in cardio or conditioning programming. Combine that with the current trend that cardio isn't even all that important to overall health and all you will often see is a little treadmill thrown into the client's program. I have some clients that love running or playing sports. I wanted to help them improve their performance. I also didn't like that I was missing education in such an important area of fitness. So, I took a conditioning course by one of the top coaches in the US who has trained some of their best athletes. You might not be interested in specific athletic training but you will love the health benefits from this type of programming. Even my older clients love the increased stamina, practical strength, improved balance and reaction power they obtain from this program. At the very least it's just plain fun compared to most strength programs.
