"I had no idea such drastic body changes could happen. Nick showed me how to work and tone every muscle group (some I didn’t know I had!). He is worth every penny. I feel fantastic!"

"I would highly recommend West Coast Kinesiology for anyone. It was such a treat to work with them. Their enthusiasm and dedication to the field was tremendous. They took care to work with me and were extremely sensitive to the fact that I had hip pain. They gave me excellent suggestions on how to work around my injury and her workout was very gentle yet very effective. They are true professionals and truly take the time to listen and respond to your needs. They really, really love their work and it shows. Thanks West Coast Kinesiology!"

"I am so impressed by the heart of the trainers. I just wanted to say thank-you for a job well done. West Coast Kinesiology and my trainer are changing my life!! I entered their program overweight, tired and frustrated. I needed hope and they gave me hope! From my first consultation with their trainer, I knew we would make a great team. She pushes me like I've never been pushed in my life. I do things that I never thought in my wildest dreams I could make my body do. I love the fact that my workouts are not predictable, so I don't get bored. I came in feeling sorry for myself but they didn't feel sorry for me☺ - they cared for and encouraged me. They see my potential and make sure I reach it every work out. My body and mind have been transformed. These guys care, not just your body but about your whole being!"

" Previous to Mia, my workout experience had not been very effective and I found myself doing the same old thing without any drive. Mia brings a tremendous amount of enthusiasm, energy and experience to the workouts. I am consistently and constantly challenged by new exercises. The variety of exercise and the balanced approach Mia created has helped me in finding new ways to challenge myself. I am amazed at the time and care she puts in to ensure I do things correctly and get the most value from the exercise. Mia has enabled me to do things I was not able to do before and I believe she has created a much more energetic and happier me! I wholeheartedly recommend Mia for all she has done for me and for her energy, professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm!"

"I started with Carol from West Coast Kinesiology three years ago, and since then she has been my trainer and my friend and has cheered me on in my fitness achievements like she was a member of my family! I have been training with her for 3 years now and what makes her different from any other trainer, other than her amazing skills, is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. Carol has seen me through the evolution of my fitness goals using her tools, her knowledge, and, most importantly, her unending understanding and support both physically and emotionally. She's an excellent kinesiologist and an excellent person!"

"West Coast Kinesiology's program has changed my perspective on personal training. They are encouraging and creative. Rather than just pushing me to perform standard exercises longer or with greater intensity they bring a new paradigm. They challenge me with exercises which include balls, Bosu's, and bands that have me working 3, 4, and 5 muscle groups at once while I focus on mastering the form and posture of the routine. I find it much easier to stay mentally fresh while accomplishing a much more complete workout in an hour. I thought that I had a good workout routine before, but they have taken it to a much higher level. I am 48 years old and with West Coast Kinesiology, I have dropped from 25% body fat to 13% while adding strength and flexibility. I work out earlier than I have in the past but it is something that I look forward to in the morning. Thanks."

"Darren will provide you with workouts that will give you the results that you are looking for while making your exercise program so much fun. If you are looking for the perfect personal trainer… that would be Darren. His workouts incorporate strength training, cardio, balance exercises and flexibility in a variety of ways so that they never become boring. His knowledge, professionalism and credentials are so very impressive, but his personal attention and his cheerful, caring manner are unbeatable. His energy and enthusiasm seem to be contagious as he coaches me to do my exercises properly and cheers me on to meet my fitness goals. Darren is an absolute delight to work with, and I highly recommend him. He is a fantastic person and an excellent trainer who will design your exercise program to meet your specific fitness goals. I know that I could never obtain the same results without his guidance, encouragement and support. Thank you, Darren, for accompanying me on my journey to become a happier, healthier and stronger person."

"Daryl is an incredible motivator and source of inspiration. One of my goals in life was to run a marathon, and Daryl eagerly and enthusiastically joined me in this pursuit and made the 4 months of training not only physically rewarding, but also fun. I simply could not have done it without him. His love for fitness, for people, and for helping others achieve their dreams combine to create an energy about him that is infectious. I have been a member of fitness clubs for over 13 years, and Daryl is the best trainer that I know."

"At West Coast Kinesiology, they make exercising more fun, AND I get more out of each workout with them than I would at the gym or with one of my exercise videos because of their continuous support, encouragement, direction, and added resistance! And the best part for me is the stretching session that follows each workout. I never knew my body could be so flexible, and I feet great afterwards. Thank You!"
Kathy P
"Dear Becky, you're a wonderful, talented young woman and a real motivator! Thank you for all you did to help keep me on track and sweating! You helped me rehabilitate my shoulder to 100% and beyond. There is truly nothing like a workout with you. You're focused yet fun, the workout is intense but not overwhelming, and the stretching you provide is one of the best things I've felt in a long time. I felt "complete" and at peace from it ~ it's a great way to end a session. I look forward to the time you'll spend getting my husband back on the exercise bandwagon. With appreciation, Jane"

"When I started with West Coast Kinesiology, I didn’t know quite what to expect from personal training. But Renee is a real joy to work with and brings an enthusiasm with her that makes working out fun. She always gives me a variety of exercises that makes what used to be a boring process actually stimulating and enjoyable. She can always tell me how an exercise is working for me, and explains the process in simple terms so I can concentrate on how to perform it without being confused. Renee has an engaging personality that makes you want to work hard and push yourself past what you thought you could do. Of course, it is hard work, but Renee makes you want to achieve your goals through constant encouragement and tips. I have seen results in a short period and for the first time in a very long time, can see my goals as something I can realistically achieve. She has a wonderful personality and always brings a smile with her. I never feel rushed with her and she makes me feel as if I am her only client. She is organized and moves the sessions along at a good pace without having to pause and think of what to do next. I feel as though Renee has thought and planned the workout for me each time I am with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Renee to anyone looking to start a program or gain more knowledge as to what they are doing. The only thing I regret is not calling Renee sooner!"

"I taught aerobics for many years, but had to stop when we added children to my fulltime job. Exercise became seldom and inconsistent, and I began to have back problems from poor posture and mushy muscles. After just one workout with West Coast Kinesiology, I knew that they could help me be fit again. They are knowledgeable, encouraging and professional. I would recommend them to anyone ready to get into shape."

"Over the past 10 years I have been a member at 4 different gyms throughout the lower mainland. As a member of these gyms I always experienced the same thing.....go consistently for a couple of months, but never made it past 6 months. I found it hard to fit a 1.5 hour workout into my day, so I would either spend all of my time doing cardio or all of my time doing weights. In the end I saw or felt no real results. This was discouraging, not to mention a big waist of money. When I started with West Coast Kinesiology ten months ago, this all changed. Today I recorded my 100th visit to their Adult sport conditioning class, and show no signs of giving up. I am feeling results, I am seeing results. The circuit training workout at Adult sport conditioning uses cardio and strength training that allows me to exercise at the top end of my target heart range, while toning and firming muscle at the same time...all in
60 minutes. And their equipment really does "challenge ALL ages and ALL levels of fitness" as I have worked out beside members that are twice my age and members that are half my age. Thanks! West Coast Kinesiology is truly delivering the best full body workout I have ever experienced."

"I am currently trying to enter the fire department and need to improve my fitness in order to pass. Coming from an athletic background- scouted from several colleges and universities to play volleyball- I was used to exercising and knew the commitment that it took. I knew that I was ready to get going but in order to get started I needed to be accountable to someone who I felt would be a positive, dynamic and a knowledgeable influence.
Gillian McK
"I have been training with West Coast Kinesiology for several months now. Their knowledge of exercise and nutrition has vastly improved my fitness with exercises that at first I thought would be unattainable. I had not seen many of the exercises before but they are all incredibly fun and effective. They have been able to keep me motivated and enthusiastic to reach my goals. I have found that exercising again has made me more energetic, and focused. This experience has reminded me of the lifetime commitment that is needed to succeed and I’m having a great time! Thanks Nick!"

"I came to West Coast Kinesiology on a referral from a friend who had great success recovering from an injury. I'm a full time Pilate’s instructor, and suffered from an acute low back injury for many months. I spent so much money trying various types of yoga, massage, chiropractic, Pilate's, swimming, rest. Nothing worked, only temporary relief. By the time I saw Kerry I couldn't even bend over to brush my teeth or put on my shoes. Within a week of following Kerry's instructions the pain went away, and four years later I'm still pain free! I am so thankful for Kerry's expertise, and continue to utilize the tools he taught me on a daily basis."

“This
program was very rewarding for me. Time was taken to not
only improve me, but to explain why and how it was all
working. Having this knowledge and knowing the importance of
exercise made me feel motivated to continue and made me feel
more energetic in my daily life. It feels great to have all
of my movement back, and I thank this program.” Kirsten

“This
program has been very good for me, particularly with regards
to maintaining a good attitude towards my recovery in spite
of how discouraged I was when I started. The staff at the
facility have been a deciding factor in my case. I will make
my doctor aware of my feelings about this.” Dan W
“I
liked the way they helped me work up to my full fitness
level. I never felt like I was doing too much or too little,
always just right.” Margret K
“My job
entails heavy lifting at odd angles and the therapists have
provided additional ideas on how to stretch out and warm up
muscles before and after lifting. By describing the injuries
it was easier to effectively prevent re-injury. By following
through with my stretching exercises I have been able to
return to work without pain, ahead of schedule. I would
highly recommend this program to anyone who is currently in
pain or in a position where prevention can be the best cure.
I honestly feel that I am stronger and more flexible than I
have been in 15 years. With the knowledge I now have I feel
I will continue to improve and that my injury is a part of
my past and not my future.” Jim P
“There
should be more programs like this in other recreation
centres and more doctors offices should be made aware of the
benefits.” Valerie A
“The
staff are excellent in support and encouragement.” Leslie
M
“The
kinesiology staff is excellent. If it wasn’t for them I’d
still be where I was 2 months ago. They have been so
supportive.” Leigh G
“I was in
so much discomfort when I began the program. My
kinesiologist helped me out so much. I was very
reluctant at first because I was in so much pain. I was
still coping with it. She constantly reassured me that it
was normal and it was the healing process. It made me
feel very comfortable and put a lot of trust in the program.
Thank you very much.” Karen P
“Without West Coast Kinesiology I wouldn’t be the athlete I
am today, both physically and emotionally. They have given
me the inspiration and training I needed to undertake goals
that I used to only dream about.” Cristina S
