Strength Coaching, Guided by One Standard

Petra, nutritionist and certified strength coach at Intisar Fitness

Petra

Nutritionist & Certified Strength Coach

“There’s no late stage to start strength training — whether you’re 20 or 70, fitness will always have a place in your health journey.”

Petra has a strong focus on women’s health, strength and sustainable lifestyle habits. She’s passionate about supporting women through every stage of life — including perimenopause and menopause — by helping them prioritize strength training, nutrition, movement and long-term wellbeing.

Having trained consistently since her 20s, Petra knows first-hand how strength training supports women through their 40s and beyond. Now navigating perimenopause herself, she understands the changes this stage can bring, and she’s dedicated to helping women build a strong foundation for their health, confidence and wellbeing for years to come.

Morgan, certified personal trainer at Intisar Fitness

Morgan

Certified Personal Trainer, BSc Nutrition & Dietetics

“I’m excited to give women the opportunity to have autonomy and independence as they go through life — as well as confidence in the gym.”

Before she ever stepped into a gym as a trainer, Morgan spent years studying how the body works: how to fuel it, how habits stick, and how closely what you eat and how you train are connected. She brings that knowledge into every session — and as an avid runner and triathlete, she lives it too.

Morgan believes getting strong isn’t just about what happens in the gym, it’s about what it gives you outside of it: the ability to move freely, feel capable and stay independent on your own terms, now and as you age. Her approach is science-backed and built around you — your goals, your schedule, your life.

Jana, certified personal trainer at Intisar Fitness

Jana

Certified Personal Trainer, Physiotherapist Assistant

“I combine strength training with my experience in rehabilitation, pain management and injury prevention.”

Her training is evidence-based, with a strong focus on injury prevention, mobility, recovery and progressive overload. Whether you’re new to the gym, returning after an injury or looking to improve your overall health, Jana will help you move better, feel better and see lasting results.

Jewel, Certified Personal Trainer at Intisar Fitness

Jewel

Certified Personal Trainer, MSc Kinesiology Candidate

“I’d love to bring my knowledge of Kinesiology to help clients move their bodies in an athletic way and improve their functionality.”

Jewel is a Certified Personal Trainer completing her MSc in Kinesiology at the University of Toronto, after graduating from York University with a BSc in Kinesiology. As a former varsity field hockey athlete, she spent years working with Strength and Conditioning coaches, which deepened her understanding of performance, injury prevention and the role of movement in overall well-being.

She has several years of experience coaching sports, focusing on confidence, skill development and a positive relationship with physical activity. Whether you’re new to exercise or returning from injury, Jewel brings an approachable, supportive style, with an emphasis on sustainable and enjoyable movement habits.
