How I train different downtown clients
Same system for everyone. What changes is how I fit it around your life.
Entrepreneurs
Unpredictable schedule
What gets in the way
Your schedule is unpredictable, and a rigid plan breaks the first busy week.
What I do
I'm happy to book our sessions week to week or on a consistent schedule, whatever works best. Every client is month to month, so in slow stretches we can train more, then scale back when things get crazy and keep you moving with short workouts in the app. I also build a diet plan that works even when most of your meals are eating out for work.
Parents
Limited time and energy
What gets in the way
You don't have the time or energy to train five days a week.
What I do
We set your goals carefully, prioritize what matters most, and build a plan that gets the most out of the time you have. I keep up to date with the latest science so I can create the most efficient plan possible.
Desk workers
Office, home or hybrid
What gets in the way
Sitting for that long creates imbalances in your body.
What I do
I carefully assess each client, then we work on strength and mobility movements that help reverse the long days of sitting. We design your diet and training around your 9-5 schedule, so training makes your days feel easier, not longer and harder.
Where I train across downtown

Training at my private studio, plus in-home training in Yaletown condos.
Yaletown trainer →Coal Harbour
In-home and building-gym training in the waterfront towers.
Coal Harbour trainer →West End

Downtown questions
How much does it cost?
1-on-1 training starts at $600 CAD per month plus GST. The price depends on how often we train. It's month-to-month with no contract, and it's the same price in your building or at my studio.
Is there a travel fee downtown?
No. I don't charge travel fees anywhere downtown.
What if my building doesn't allow outside trainers?
Then we train in your suite or at my Yaletown studio. The coaching and the price stay the same.
Which is better, my building's gym or your studio?
Neither is better. The studio gives you a full set of equipment in a private space, and your building's gym saves you the commute. We can talk through which fits your schedule in your free consultation.
Do I need a gym membership?
No. You don't need a gym membership to train with me at my studio. Current personal training clients can also use the studio on their own, without me, for a monthly fee.
What happens in the free consultation?
We go over your goals, training history, injuries and schedule by phone or Zoom, then figure out which kind of coaching makes the most sense. It's free, with no obligation.
I live outside downtown. Can you still help?
Yes. Online coaching works from anywhere, and you are welcome to train at my Yaletown studio. In-home training is for downtown Vancouver.
What should I bring to the first session?
Comfortable training clothes, shoes and water.
