  • Growing up in Niagara, Alyshia played several sports, including soccer and field hockey, which sparked a love of an athletic lifestyle. She has always been an advocate of being active and living a healthy lifestyle and has been a firm believer in aiming high and putting in the work to reach those goals.

    With experience as both a competitive athlete and a coach, Alyshia has the unique skill set to train both high-level athletes and everyday enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re aiming for peak performance or looking to improve your overall health and fitness, she’s got you covered.

Personal Training & Strength Coach – ISSA
Corrective Exercises – ISSA
Athletic Nutrition – ISSA
HIIT Instructor – ISSA

  • Chris grew up as a multi sport athlete, with a strong focus in hockey. In addition to this, much of his free time was spent in the back country on trails, and paddling. Later as an adult, he discovered Strength sports. This reinvigorated his appetite for being competitive where he began competing in Weightlifting, and learning about complex strength programming.

    In his time in sport, Chris has suffered several injuries of varying severity. Being told he may never be able to fully recover made him determined to learn everything he could, so that he could return to a high level of performance. This led him towards learning about the body, movement, and corrective exercises.

    In Chris’s own life, he has a philosophy of being an athlete at any age. With his training, athletic background, and journey through injuries, this has given him a unique insight on how to help others. This led him to becoming a Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning coach.

    Dysfunction, fragility, and loss of mobility most often arises when we avoid movement. Because of this, Chris believes in the importance of practicing movement, building strength and resiliency to be the best versions of ourselves for both today, and tomorrow. Whether it’s increasing performance, or improving ones quality of life, he has a passion for helping others achieve their goals.
