Who it's for

Women 50+ who want to get stronger, steadier and more confident
People who have never lifted, or who are starting again after a break
Anyone with a building gym who isn't sure where to begin

Where we train

We train in your building's gym, at home with your body weight and what you already have (a sturdy chair, a counter, grocery bags), or at your own gym where its rules allow. If you'd like to buy equipment, I'll suggest a short, affordable list, with no obligation.

What a session looks like

1
Warm-up and mobility
We prepare your joints and check in on how you feel today.
2
Strength
Foundational movements, such as standing up, pushing, pulling and carrying, with the right load.
3
Balance and function
Exercises that make daily life easier and steadier.
4
Habit of the week
One small, concrete target to take into the week.

A careful process

Before your first session, you complete a screening questionnaire. We start where you are, with a fitness baseline and careful progressions. When a situation calls for a health professional, I refer you to your doctor, a physiotherapist, or a registered dietitian (ODNQ).

Habits and meal prep

Strong & Steady includes an in-kitchen meal-prep coaching session, and every program includes habit check-ins. Results are measured in strength, function and habits.

Common questions

I've never lifted weights. Is this for me?

Yes. We start with screening and a Fitness Baseline, then adapt progressions to your starting point.

Can you train me in my building's gym?

Where do you train? Is there a travel fee?

No travel fees. Core areas: Westmount, Downtown (Golden Square Mile), Nuns' Island, Griffintown & Old Montreal, Outremont & Town of Mount Royal and NDG, Côte-Saint-Luc & Hampstead. The West Island, Laval and South Shore are served through a Building Circle or The Private Rebuild.

I have osteoporosis or arthritis. Can I train?

It depends on screening and, where needed, clearance from your doctor. I offer adapted progressions, not diagnosis or treatment. When a situation calls for a health professional, I refer you to your doctor, a physiotherapist, or a registered dietitian (ODNQ).

What happens if I miss a session?

With at least 24 hours' notice, the session is rescheduled within the same 4-week period. Illness or a medical reason notified any time before the session: it is rescheduled, never forfeited. Otherwise, a late cancellation or no-show counts as a delivered session. You also get one life-happens pass every 12 weeks.

Can I cancel? What does it cost?

Yes, any time. Before your first session it costs nothing. Afterwards, only services already delivered at your contract rate are owed. I waive the cancellation penalty the law allows. Use the Cancel my program button, the contract form or written notice. Refunds are issued within 10 days.
