“helped me maintain a healthy, long term fitness lifestyle”
Jacquie was my trainer for a number of years. Not only did she help me reach short term goals (running a marathon, training for multi-day hike and bike trips) but she has helped me maintain a healthy, long term fitness lifestyle. One that not only continues to support my fitness goals but also has helped me adapt to other life changes, such as menopause and a serious illness.

“transformed my overall health”
Working with Jacquie as a coach not only helped me see significant improvement in my strength but I also gained valuable knowledge on nutrition that helped transform my overall health. Her personalized approach to training and nutrition has helped me feel stronger and much more energized.

“Changed my life”
At the risk of sounding insincere, I have to say Jacquie changed my life. For over a decade or more I was physically inactive and as a full-time dentist this resulted in almost career-threatening back, hip and neck pain. I spent over $5,000 a year on medical treatments, physio, osteo, massage, chiro but nothing seemed to help. I tried other trainers over the years and never stuck to a consistent plan with them. I was ready to give up until one of the therapists suggested Jacquie. She was the only trainer that was able to uncover the best ways to help me with only 90 minutes of personal training a week. She was also the only one that motivated me to keep going and stay consistent. It didn’t take long for my pain to go from a 9 or a 10 to levels that were very minimal like a 2. Plus I had a lot of fun getting healthy under her direction!

“Always pushed me to be my best, mentally and physically”
I started training with Jacquie in 2018 and can’t say enough good things about her! She helped me achieve my goal of playing University hockey and has always pushed me to be my best mentally and physically.
— Christi M
“Experienced Professional”
I really liked training with Jacquie; she’s an experienced professional who ensured I maintained proper form and kept our sessions enjoyable and productive. When I don’t have her guidance, I tend to lose motivation, so I’m really looking forward to training with her again.

“She is a champion of others no matter where they’re starting from”
I could write a book on how amazing Jacquie is as a coach. First and foremost, she is that warm, friendly and inviting face everyone wants to see. She wants to get to know you not just as another client but as a real person. She is a champion of others no matter where they’re starting from, no matter how far away their goals may seem – she’s the one to get you there. Some trainers push you from afar, others drag you from the front but Jacquie is there WITH you; celebrating all the small wins. But don’t let all that soft talk fool you. She knows when to push and she certainly knows how. This is the special thing about Jacquie and her efforts in creating relationships with her clients; she truly has your best interests at heart and if she tells you to go harder, longer, heavier, you do because of the trust you have in her. She’s never given you a reason not to. Coach Jacquie for the win!

“One of the best trainers I have worked with“
Jacquie is one of the best trainers I have worked with over the years. Not only did she sculpt my body/muscles with lifting weights but she helped me keep fitness as my lifestyle.
While struggling through the start of my healing journey, after divorce, she unknowingly offered insight, intellect and compassion at times I didn’t have a lot and wanted to hide away.
She gave me a safe harbour in fitness, no judgement when lack of money or motivation became stumbling blocks, we figured it out together.
Even after breaking 3 ribs in a running mishap she tailored a plan to allow me to continue being active safely and without injury while my body then healed.
If you ever get the opportunity to work with Jacquie and experience her knowledge, compassion and determination, you are blessed.
