"Lisa is an absolutely amazing trainer who is friendly and easy to talk to. She continually checks on how you are doing and is always willing to adapt based on how you are feeling. Exercise routines are created to meet your goals and Lisa is always tweaking things to help you accomplish your goals. Training with Lisa is a great experience and she makes it feel like you are working out with a friend, making the more difficult exercises feel like they aren't so bad. I would highly recommend KW Personal Training and am very grateful to Lisa for all her expertise." - Angela Y.

Meet Lisa - Certified Personal Trainer Specialist

In 1993, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act marked a pivotal moment in medical research by requiring the inclusion of women in all NIH-funded clinical trials. Prior to this, women were routinely excluded from health studies, clinical trials, and drug research. Let that sink in—until 1993, women's health was largely overlooked in medical research in the United States. Meanwhile, in Canada, it wasn’t until 1997 that Health Canada introduced a guideline—just a recommendation—to include women in health studies and trials.

I'm a passionate health and wellness advocate in my mid-40s, dedicated to aging gracefully and living life to the fullest. As a Certified Personal Trainer with Canfitpro, I bring years of experience working with diverse groups, including individuals with disabilities, seniors, and children. Helping people set meaningful goals and achieve them is my true calling. I’m deeply passionate about this phase of life for women because I believe there isn’t enough conversation or understanding about what we truly go through.

I am CPR and First Aid Certified, a Canfitpro Certified Personal Training Specialist, an active member of the Canadian Menopause Society, and I am currently enhancing my skills by becoming a Certified Menopause Coach. I also absolutely adore sports and as such, I work for The Toronto Blue Jays during baseball season. 

Feel free to get in touch - I would love the opportunity to work with you, regardless of your current activity level.
