I am passionate about fitness training and have been working out for over 20 years in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.

I am part of the Soul Fitness Independent Trainer studio. The gym is well equipped and has a quieter and more personal feel. Its a great place to get introduced to weight training if the busier gyms aren't the right fit for you.

Training at any level can help you achieve and maintain a better quality of life, both physically and mentally. Working with me will allow you to fill all of the different and most important aspects of weight lifting so you get the most from your time, and most importantly your dollar value.

I am very engaged with you in our time together. And I pride myself on both challenging my clients appropriately but also paying attention to how much they want to push themselves day to day.

With my decades of personal experience and 4 years of certification's through respected vendors of personal training education, I bring you a product that will get you your moneys worth.


Beginner and middle level gym goers of all ages is who I am looking to train with (ages 13 to seniors). I am comfortable with both weight loss and and muscle gain goals. And know how to build a program for both.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
 
Above is Eicosapentanoic / Docosahexaenoic (EPA/DHA) fatty acids. Healthy fat is a great way to accompany your dieting needs. One of the main issues of the day for health being that we are eating processed food that has lifeless calories. By choosing nutritionally strong fat sources we compliment our eating, and gain many health benefits. EPA/DHA is linked to weight management, cognitive function and showing relation to benefits in mild Alzheimer's dementia (It simply helps with focus!). Just by making simple choices like this in the long run we gain health and that's my job, to advise you. Essential Fatty acids is one of the many parts that is the equation of optimal nutrition, that helps you become healthier, and in doing so changes composition and healthy life span longevity.
