1 on 1 Strength Training

What does a One - on - One Progressive Strength program look like?

  • Customized weight training program designed to meet your unique situation and goals.

  • Technical support - ie how to do the exercise.

  • Regular meetings to discuss your weight training program and to make changes as needed.
    (monthly in-person or online meetings)

  • Access to an app to record your strength training workouts, and to ask questions.

Why Build Strength?

  • Build up capacity to lift heavier things, ie. groceries, children, grandchildren, kayaks, items around the house.... what ever you need to lift.

  • Build stronger bones. Lifting weights puts stress on the bones. This stress causes the bones to increase bone density which is helpful to avoid osteoporosis.

  • It can help improve balance.

  • It can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.

  • Some studies show that it can improve your cognitive abilities.

What you will need.

During our initial meeting we will discuss what you are wanting to get out of your strength building program. Your program will be built around these desires. Your current strength level, and mobility level will be factored into your program.

You will need to have access to some weights of varying sizes. Alternatively you have access to a home or community gym. Your access to equipment will also be factored into your program.

Typically we will meet monthly to discuss your progress. More frequent sessions are also available for an increased charge. Use of the Sunflower fitness studio is also available - feel free to reach out to discuss the possibilities.

Private one on one strength training for people that don't like gyms. Available in Maple Ridge or online.

About the Jane

Jane has been actively teaching and learning about movement modalities for 15 years.

As a Movement and Self Care Coach she has developed a keen body awareness, both of herself and her clients.

Four years ago Jane experienced a series of physical challenges that affected her mobility. Although her yoga practice was still very helpful she felt she needed something more. This coupled with an osteoporosis diagnoses lead her to start a progressive strength training program. She had been studying with Kathryn of Mindful Strength for many years. Kathryn is a formal yoga teacher that turned to strength training to assist her to recover from various injuries. Kathryn went on to become an Olympic weight lifter and a personal mentor.

Jane started to incorporate more light strength training into her yoga classes. She found this helpful but also felt that a more specific weight training program was necessary. She has been working on building her own strength for a couple of years now and is thrilled with the results. She started sharing the progressive strength training with small groups in her studio, while continuing to train under Kathryn.

She has now completed a 6 month coach strength training program and is ready to offer one - on - one sessions. The benefits that she has felt in her own body, as well as those she has witnessed in her group strength classes inspires her to bring this program to others.
