A little about myself- I have been strength
training for over 6 years now and have only been grateful since the day I started. It has
taught me so much and helped me a ton while growing up by creating strength,
resilience, and passion physically and mentally towards myself. I went to school at
Georgian College in the “Personal Health and fitness” course along with my CanfitPro
“Personal Training Specialist” certification course. I continue to extend my knowledge by
taking courses that I feel will benefit my clients.
