Kinesiology
Kinesiology is a health related field focusing on the human body in relation to anatomy, physiology and biomechanics.
When you are choosing a personal trainer it can be overwhelming. There are a lot of options out there and it is difficult to know which to choose. When someone has a Kinesiology degree, it separates them from Certified Personal Trainers.
Certified Personal Trainers are often required to take a written exam as well as a practical exam. The process takes about 2-6 months to complete. Many in-home personal training companies hire large quantities of Certified Personal Trainers to service their clients, and follow-up irregularly meaning there can be limited accountability from the company and lack of formal training from their trainers.
When someone has a Kinesiology degree, it separates them from Certified Personal Trainers. Trainer knowledge translates into better results for you!
Kinesiology is a 4 year undergraduate Bachelors of Science degree encompassing various subjects such as: biomechanics, human anatomy, physiology etc.
Fitness and Health promotion is a college diploma involving the practical component of the program focusing on labs and internships, providing real-life application of scientific theories.
The combination of these two programs means you will be in the hands of a highly knowledgeable, educated individual who has the ability to not only train you, but assist with the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries.
I started my training career during second-year University at a soccer fitness academy coaching young athletes. Since then, I gained experience working in a Physiotherapy clinic which allows me to incorporate rehab exercises and techniques into my programming. I also worked at various gyms throughout the city before becoming an in-home personal trainer. I love my job and it translates into the quality of service you will receive. I value all my clients for their individuality and personal achievements and my limited client list allows me to provide excellent, focused attention to each one of my clients.
