KELLY'S FITNESS JOURNEY

THE BEGINNING

I’ve been active in dance since the age of 5, and have studied many dance forms. I have also, off-and-on since childhood, been involved in different sports ranging from track and field, to dragon boat racing, ultimate frisbee and later on, combat sports like Muay Thai and boxing.

While pursuing my B.A., I recognized the importance of staying active but did not understand the importance of strength training. This mindset followed me through my career and at 29, I decided to go back to school to become a registered nurse. I felt a pull to do something more challenging and rewarding than being a medical secretary and since I've always loved science and helping people, I felt being an RN would be a great natural progression in my career. However, after having done clinical placements in different environments, I realized I did not want to work in hospitals and I wanted nothing to do with night shifts. This was the first time I realized the impact a career of this nature would have on my health.

PERSONAL TRAINING/HEALTH

Upon finishing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I gained 20lbs and finally decided to get a personal trainer. At the same time, I also started to train others as a personal trainer! This was the best thing I ever did! Within 2-3 months I phased out all my nursing hours and focused solely on training clients. Why? Because I realized that personal training is a better avenue to health promotion and disease prevention.

As a personal trainer, I help people with their health in a motivating and positive atmosphere. The skills and knowledge I have learned to become a Registered Nurse coupled with the skills and knowledge learned as a Personal Trainer work hand in hand. With personal training I see peoples improvements and life changing results on a regular basis. It is rewarding to know that I have helped someone learn how they can keep themselves as healthy and strong both physically and mentally for as long as possible.

In my early thirties it didn’t matter how much dancing and running I did, I wasn’t losing weight, because I wasn’t building muscle. I later learned how to correct posture, correct muscle imbalances, and create better movement, mobility and flexibility. Because of my diverse experience and skills, I have a new direction for my business.

FITNESS CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I started working with Kelly so that I could gain confidence in adding physical activity to my life. Kelly was terrific! She met me where I was and worked with my skills and limitations to help me become stronger and more confident. I have a lot of injuries and underlaying health concerns, so Kelly’s experience in health care and her dedication to ongoing education gives me a lot of confidence that every class, workshop, and session with her will help me get stronger while minimizing the risk of injury. Finally, Kelly is so much fun to work with. I laugh a lot in every class and session I do with her. Kelly has built a wonderful community of women who are dedicated to staying healthy. I look forward to all of my classes with Kelly, even if I would rather skip the workout and spend the night on the couch.

Kelly can tap into your motivation and bring about change. She operates out of integrity, knowledge and passion. She is an avid lifelong learner and brings this knowledge to her clients. As a former client, I highly recommend Kelly!

Lisa

Kelly changed my life! After a lifetime of yo-yoing, working with Kelly helped me find a mental and physical strength I still tap into today. To say that I was extremely satisfied with my results is an understatement. She helped me push my body to limits I never thought I could reach and helped me reframe my eating habits. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Kelly. I highly recommend her!

Rhoda

I have been able to keep over 20lbs off over the past two years!. I have a whole new body shape and look healthier overall!. I can now wear clothes that I was never able to wear before. No more loose fitting clothes for me!! My motivation levels to work on healthier nutrition and losing weight have increased, and as a result I have much more energy and less chronic back fatigue. Playing on the floor and lifting my grandchildren is much more enjoyable. Thank you to Kelly for creating an excellent private training atmosphere that allows me to get the best personal training service and results!

Wendy

I can’t express how much my life has changed since meeting Kelly. I am a 40+ woman who has had type 1 diabetes for 33 years and have been overweight most of my life. More than the weight she has helped me lose, it’s the way I feel, the way I move more easily, the way I am now living my life. With Kelly’s nursing background, her nurturing nature and consistent training techniques have made it so easy to enjoy exercise...which is a statement I NEVER thought I would say. I highly recommend Kelly for people who want to make a change in their lives.

Jen

I first started training with Kelly after recovering from an illness that weakened my muscles and joints. Initially she taught me the basics in strengthening to perform exercises that will eventually assist in my recovery. With consistent training we progressed to the point where I not only saw physical changes in my body, but I felt strong and confident. Kelly is not your average personal trainer, she’s vivacious and inspirational and she has supported me through some difficult times by teaching me about mindset and keeping me motivated to achieve my fitness goals. My life has changed because of her endless support and I’m happy that she’s part of my fitness journey. I highly recommend Kelly as a personal trainer!

Kelly You’re awesome! I love training with you! It’s been so many years now....I’ve lost track! You’ve always been so upbeat, encouraging and helpful, always getting me to perform to my best possible level, but also respectful when I’ve hit my limits. Being a dancer yourself, you’ve always been in tune with my needs. Our training sessions are always fun and uplifting! It’s been great being on this journey with you! You’ve kept me in shape for my dancing and fit for my life. You’re not just a great trainer but a wonderful friend! Thank you!

Susan

Kelly listens, watches your body movements, assesses your needs vs your wants with fitness and builds a plan just for you. Tweaking as required. I recommend Kelly as an online personal trainer. She is knowledgeable about fitness and works with you holistically to achieve your goals. Don’t let her quiet demeanour fool you, she works hard to work you hard and you won’t regret it.

Bonnie

Kelly is a fantastic, fun and knowledgeable trainer, able to customize your training and wellness programs to fit your needs. Plus her classes and workshops are great, and some of them are even free. Highly recommend, if you want to maintain, enhance, or reboot your wellness journey.

Rita

I did the More to the Core workshop yesterday with KellyKinetics, and I am feeling it in my core big time today. One of the main reasons I love working with Kelly is that she always makes sure you are using and activating the proper muscles for each move. So important! Her knowledge and experience is vast and always growing. I’ve worked with Kelly over the years both in fitness and belly dancing and she genuinely cares about her clients. I highly recommend her and her services.
