Hey!  Thanks for checking out my website — I appreciate it!  Here’s a little bit about me:

I have a straightforward, honest, realistic approach to health and fitness. It’s my proven philosophies that will create lasting healthy lifestyle habits.  I’ve developed a practical system to help get you into the best and healthiest shape using simple everyday skills you can easily apply. My focus is holistic — targeting both the physical and mental changes you need to achieve your fitness goals and maintaining a healthy life balance. I work with all clients on nutrition, training and life skills — I believe you can’t change one without the other!

I won my IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilders) Pro Card in Figure in 2006, and then went on to compete in 3 professional figure shows, totalling 16 competitive figure and fitness shows. Placing either first or second in all amateur shows. I went on to have a very competitive career as a Pro Athlete, gaining valuable experiences along the way. After a 7 year hiatus and a major transformation of my own, I gave the stage one more shot placing 4th at my “rookie” debut and winning my second professional show 5 weeks later, earning me a spot at the Olympia 2015.

I completed my undergrad (Bachelor of Physical Education in Exercise Rehabilitation) from the University of Alberta in 2005 and went directly into an accelerated after-degree program in Nutrition, focusing in Sports Nutrition, including extensive research in metabolic disorders. I have also completed the following:

• Personal Training (PTS) and Nutrition and Wellness (NWS) through Can-Fit Pro
• Certified Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP)
• International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) – In Progress
• National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) – In Progress
• Certified Coaches Federation – Life Coaching (CCF)

With the skills and experience I have as a professional Athlete, along with a comprehensive education, I’m confident I’m able to help others desiring change. Teaching people how to be healthy, how simple it can be, and how to maintain balance are key principles that drive my passion to inspire my clients. These are the key foundational elements of 212 Fitness and what my business is based on.

My clients are all friends to me, I invest in their journey and well-being.  I truly want to see my clients succeed and believe leading by example is the best way to do so! I’m not just a coach, I walk the walk and talk the talk . . . this is how I live my life and want to do my best to inspire you to live your best life as well!

What is 212 Fitness?  What makes it different?

Simply put, I strive to bring out that one degree of separation in every person… that one thing that propels them towards greatness.  My goal is to not only help you get fit, healthy, achieve goals, etc… my goal is to help YOU find that little hidden motivation inside of you that guides you into your ultimate potential. By using health/fitness goals as a tool to better yourself, I want to teach you the unlimited empowerment this can bring… what it is that is going to “separate the good from the great.” We all want to live a great life – this is how: by finding our potential and living our lives to their fullest.

212 Fitness encompasses much more than just health and fitness.  Anyone can follow a diet or training program… but what makes it “stick”?  What makes it become who you are, so that your goal can become your new reality?  So you can really live your life?

Simple.  One extra degree, one extra step, one statement can be all you need to change your life. I help you find that separating factor, to take you from where you are now  to where you want to be.  A better you.  An unstoppable locomotive powered by one extra degree.

The company name 212 Fitness, and several of the 212 Principles were inspired by the best selling book, “212° The Extra Degree” ~ by Sam Parker
