My name is Tess, and I have been an athlete my whole life. I was a gymnast as well as a nationally ranked track and field athlete until a severe knee injury ended my career. I went from being extremely active to no activity, which took a toll on my mental and physical health.

I knew I needed to do something, and that is when I fell in love with weight training. I have been lifting for about 4 years now and I have learned so much. My goal is to provide you with easy-to-follow workouts and help you show yourself what you are capable of.

Getting in shape shouldn’t be a punishment. It’s an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that anyone can make. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of fitness; and while there may be a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of fitness are worth the challenge. I am a certified personal trainer through ACE and have a diploma from Fanshawe College in Fitness and Health Promotion.
