FAQs

Most people know what a personal trainer is and what they do. They help people to lose weight, build muscle, trim, tone and get fit and healthy. Both Exercise Physiologists and personal trainers can work with those who want to improve their health and well-being. Exercise Physiologists are university trained and have extensive training in treating people with chronic conditions in addition to those without any known conditions. I can work with all kinds of people and are different from personal trainers and other health professionals due to my extensive knowledge, skills and experience in exercise delivery, provision on health modification counselling and understanding of complex and chronic health conditions. While Exercise Physiologist are more likely to work mostly with some form of pain, injury, illness or disease, I also work with people without any known health conditions and help them to achieve their fitness goals and prevent disease like diabetes or cancer. In fact, I am dual qualified as personal trainer also!
