During my years in the kinesiology program at York University, I became very passionate about personal training, methodology of training (particularly Dr. Tudor Bompa's periodization methods), fitness assessment, and nutrition. I was the student of many great professors and coaches (including neurophysiology professor Dr. L. Sergio who has developed fitness tests for NHL draft players, and Olympic Volleyball coach H. Humana). While studying at York, I became certified as a Fitness Consultant with C.S.E.P. (Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology) and a Personal Trainer Specialist with Can-Fit-Pro.
After graduating in 2006, I founded Personal Trainer in Toronto. Over the years, I have trained and/or counseled hundreds of clients of all abilities, ranging from children to elderly. I constantly expand my knowledge base and skills with continuing education (recently completing courses in: older adult fitness, advanced exercise nutrition, and advanced exercise anatomy). in addition to my required professional development, I also do my own research and attend lectures and seminars. I gain more knowledge from networking with many fitness and health professionals (including: fitness trainers, athletes, physiotherapists, chiropractors, holistic health practitioners, massage therapists, and dieticians). My mission is to set the standard of excellence in the fitness industry.
In 2010, I received the designation of Certified Kinesiologist from the Ontario Kinesiology Association. This enables me to train special populations. I am excited because I will be providing my services to a wider population.
