Testimonials
"I began working with Emma with a very clear objective: to rehabilitate from a chronic knee injury that prevented me from playing football at a high intensity. What amazed me was Emma's ability to adapt and adjust exercises on the spot depending on the type of day my knee was having. She took the initiative to contact my physiotherapist to understand the nature of my injury and to tailor her programs to better my rehabilitation. After a year of working together, I completed my first full season since 2018. Look no further, she’s the real deal.”

"As someone who had never stepped into a gym and had some body image issues, I felt very fortunate to have a body-positive trainer. I never thought I could enjoy working out, but thanks to Emma, who is non-judgmental and warm, I no longer feel scared to work out in the gym. I no longer blindly use my weight as a goal but have learned to look for other health indicators. I no longer use diet as my only pathway to a healthy body, instead, I know what my body needs. Emma is a wonderful, supportive, and professional trainer. She has guided me through the past year, she can also help you."
Patricia
"She really listened to what I had to say, was super positive, and, more importantly, created a safe space where I felt comfortable explaining why I wanted to restart this journey. The encouragement and health teachings she has given me have helped me gain so much strength in the gym and have helped me manage my stress in my everyday life - especially when it comes to my job. I am amazed at the changes I have seen in my body and proud that I learned a new way to manage stress. Emma is one of a kind, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!"

"Emma is one of the best trainers I've had honor to train with, she is very good at understanding what exactly you need and then communicating it, which is not easy. She doesn't shy away from questions and has this amazing ability to make you believe in "the process." She celebrates the little milestones you hit which goes a long way in keeping motivation levels high! And she is always up for a laugh, which after a long, heavy set is much needed!"

"Emma is not just an amazing trainer but a great human being as well. She is attuned to your needs, requirements and abilities when designing a program and will adjust depending on how you feel day to day. She is caring and compassionate providing an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on during your low moments while encouraging you all the way.
After working with Emma, I feel the best I ever have with regards to my body! She considered all my body goals and helped me reach them in an adequate period of time. Emma was not just my trainer but I now consider her a lifelong friend."

"I often struggle to get myself to the gym. It’s hard for me to feel brave enough to walk into a space that often feels intimidating and unwelcoming to 4’11” girl that can barely fit on the gym equipment. However, I have never felt out of place while working out with Emma. She has gone out of her way to make the gym a safe space for me. She understands her clients, genuinely wants to know them and cares for them, and is the best trainer because of that. Thanks to Emma's expertise and support, I feel better about going to the gym, I feel safer in the space, I understand the equipment, and I feel great about myself and my body."
