Pricing varies based on where the training takes place. In-person training at Anytime Fitness False Creek and West 4th follows the clubs’ specific pricing structure and depends on commitment. In-home training (only for Vancouver residents) is $105 (incl. tax) for 60 min, which includes a $5 travel fee. Online training prices vary - please contact me for info.

Weight loss is largely dependent on nutrition, and although muscle building is a cornerstone of healthy, sustainable weight loss and can be done with my pre-written programs (coming soon!), nutrition accounts for a huge portion of the results you’ll get. In other words, muscle building is always a good bet, but for significant fat loss, dietary changes are almost usually needed.
If you’d like guidance from me on weight loss, specifically, hold on for a little while as I get my nutrition certification completed, then contact me for online training + nutrition coaching, and we will get started.

As of right now, I can only provide nutrition guidance in the form of education, feedback on food logs and general recommendations, but cannot write meal plans until I have completed my nutritionist certification.

I take a flexible and client centered approach to training, and work with you and your needs to make sure we create an exercise program that feels fun and easy to adhere to. I happily edit and modify programs to accommodate travel, cycle changes, schedule changes, chronic pain flare ups, and other unpredictable factors that impact training. I do not employ a one size fits all approach, and expect there to be phases where training is more difficult. I always aim for long term work with clients, and see these ups and downs as part of the process.
I value open communication, collaboration, honesty, and self-acceptance. I care about results, but I care just as much about you enjoying the process, and my goal is to help you find a way to make exercise something you value and prioritize in your everyday life.
