Personal trainers at Creekside Fitness Centre

I am passionate about fitness and enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle with a wide variety of activities including team sports, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, pickleball, tennis, skiing, and of course walking my dog, Marley. 

My other passion is travel. I have trekked through the jungles in South East Asia, cycled the wine regions of Argentina, sailed the Australian Great Barrier Reef, and survived cycling down the world's most dangerous road in Bolivia on a mountain bike! My career highlights include owning and operating a successful luxury dog daycare for small dogs and an organic smoothie company located at the BC Ferries Terminal on Vancouver Island.

Philosophy

Just move!  Moving everyday has the power to improve every part of your body, and your mind, resulting in better overall health. I take a functional and practical approach when it comes to training my clients. The goal is to move in the most fluid, and natural (functional) way, improving everyday living, and the activities or sports you enjoy. I personally, have been a life-long mover, pursing activities such as trail running, mountain biking, hiking, x-country, skate, and alpine skiing, rock climbing, outrigger canoeing, and most recently have taken up stand-up paddle boarding. Invest in your health by moving more and moving better!
