Why train at home
Knowing what to do, with someone beside you.
Most women I talk to already know strength training is good for them. What holds them back is not knowing where to start, worrying about getting hurt, or feeling out of place in a gym.
Training at home takes a lot of that away. I'm right there with you, watching how you move, adjusting as we go, and making sure every exercise feels safe for your body. Bit by bit, you learn the movements well enough to do them on your own.
What you get
What you can count on.
You'll know what to do
I show you each movement, explain why it matters, and make sure you can do it without me.
You'll move safely
Every exercise is matched to your body, your history and the space you have.
You'll stay motivated
It's much easier to keep going when someone is expecting you on Tuesday morning.
Someone in your corner
Good days, tired days and off weeks. I'm with you for all of them.
A typical week
Two sessions together. One on your own.
This is the rhythm I usually suggest. We'll choose your days together on the call, around your life.

I know what it's like to start over.
I lost 110 pounds over about 18 months, and a personal trainer who inspired and motivated me was a big part of that. Now I want to be that person for you.

What you'll need.
Less than you might think.
A little floor space
Enough room to lie down and take a step in each direction.
A sturdy chair
One of the most useful pieces of equipment in your home.
Comfortable clothes
Clothes you can move in and supportive shoes.
Equipment is optional
If you have dumbbells or bands, we'll use them. If not, I'll bring what we need.
Safety first. Every client completes a health screening before we begin. We work around old injuries, joint replacements, arthritis or osteoporosis where it's safe to, and I'll ask for your doctor's clearance when it's needed.
Who it is for
Is in-home training right for you?
A good fit
You'll probably do well here if…
- You're a woman over 50 who wants to feel stronger and more capable
- You've never lifted weights, or it's been a long time
- You'd feel more comfortable training at home than in a gym
- You want to understand what you're doing, not just follow along
- You'd like someone to keep you motivated and on track
- You live in Kelowna, West Kelowna or Peachland
Not a good fit
This may not be the right fit if…
- You're looking for very rapid or extreme weight loss
- You'd rather train in a gym with other people around
- You don't want strength training to be part of your routine
- You live outside the area. Online coaching may suit you better.
