Strength Training for Longevity

I don't want you to just live longer. I want you to live well longer.

That means hiking the trails around Vancouver Island at 75. Skiing with your grandkids at 80. Getting up from the floor without thinking twice at 90.

The secret isn't complicated: strength training 2x per week + high-intensity work 1-2x per week. That's it. That's the formula backed by the largest longevity studies.

But most gyms and programs don't teach you how to train for the long game. They focus on short-term goals—lose weight, look good, hit a PR—then you're on your own.

I take a different approach. As a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, I build programs that strengthen your body now while protecting it for decades to come. Injury prevention isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation.

Whether you're 35 or 65, the best time to invest in your future strength is today.

Performance Coaching for Event Preparation

I don't want you to just cross the finish line. I want you to cross it knowing you did everything you could.

Here's what most athletes don't realize: it's not the hardest workout that makes you fastest. It's the workouts you actually do—consistently—that build performance.

Research shows consistency beats intensity every time. In fact, it takes about 66 days to solidify a new behaviour into a habit. The difference between hitting your race goals and falling short often comes down to this: did you show up when it mattered, even on the days you didn't feel like it?

That's where coaching makes the difference.

After years of training Olympic rowers and national team Nordic skiers, I've learned that the best training plan in the world means nothing if you can't stick to it. Life gets busy. Motivation fades. Doubt creeps in. Your body doesn't always cooperate.

Research is clear: having a coach provides accountability, helps you set clear goals, creates action plans, and keeps you motivated when things get tough. In endurance sports specifically, coaches who help athletes set personal goals foster the kind of intrinsic motivation that supports long-term commitment and resilience.

I've watched athletes achieve things they didn't think possible—not because they found some secret workout, but because someone believed in them on the days they stopped believing in themselves.

My Performance Coaching isn't about cookie-cutter plans. It's about building a training program that fits your life, your schedule, and your goals—then supporting you through the inevitable ups and downs of race preparation.

I keep you consistent. I keep you motivated. I keep you on track.

Whether you're chasing your first podium or your fastest time, you don't have to figure it out alone. Let's build the training consistency that turns race day preparation into race day success.
