Personal Training

It’s my passion to help empower people to live healthier, happier, stronger and fitter lives by helping clients identify and reach their goals. I provide the accountability and motivation necessary to keep clients on track and progressing forward. I use my expertise to ensure what you are doing is correct to maximize your results. I can and will push you out of your comfort zones and harder than you would or thought you could push yourself. I work on getting you stronger and fitter by reducing the possibility of injury. We know that an injury can slow you down or derail your workout program, and even lead to a loss in momentum and the determination to continue on. Personal training with me is about personalizing your workouts by customizing your programs based on your individual strengths, weaknesses and goals.

Being the first trainer in Western Canada to achieve full certification with Gym Jones and the principal of Trigger It Personal Training, my speciality is being a Mind, Body & Lifestyle Transformation Specialist. 

My belief is that training for a particular outcome and testing against the demands of that objective proves whether the training is effective or not. If there is no test, no purpose, then it's not training or preparation, it's called exercise.

The focus is to train the body as one-piece to integrate it, and to tie the body, soul and spirit together. Practice makes habit: when we overcome different physical and psychological challenges, we develop the habit of overcoming whatever challenges we may face in sport and life.

Born and raised on a farm in rural Canada, I have learned the values of hard work, ambition, integrity and teamwork from an early age. One of my first introductions into an active lifestyle was learning how to skate and play hockey by the age of four. When I wasn't playing competitive hockey, I was playing football and baseball and working on the family farm. At the age of sixteen, I suffered a major accident that nearly paralyzed me and almost took my life. Since that time, I have had to deal with weight gain and weight loss as well as the side effects of other physical and psychological effects of such an injury.

 I’m currently an active Husband and Dad to two young and energetic boys but still find the time to get my own training and workouts in. I used to be an avid and competitive runner of marathons, half marathons, 10k, 5k, adventure and obstacle races. I have been competing in races in North America, as well as training others to get faster and stronger physically and mentally. My training and programming is directly influenced by my own learning and experiences and the experience with Gym Jones and Bobby Maximus. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is to never give up, "BE committed to DO what it takes, to HAVE what you want" in all areas of one's life.
