Personal trainers at Champlain Heights Fitness Centre

I used to have a fast-paced corporate 9 to 5 job. A car accident in 2018 changed my life and I was left with aches and pains. I started training to recover and now feel stronger than ever before. Now, I want to help others move and feel better!
