Testimonials
"Emma is the personal trainer you deserve. What really sets her apart is her ability to create a safe and energizing environment where you can work your butt off. I began working with Emma with a very clear objective: to rehabilitate from a chronic knee injury that prevented me from playing football at a high intensity. What amazed me was her ability to adapt and adjust exercises on the spot depending on the type of day my knee was having. She took the initiative to contact my physiotherapist to understand the nature of my injury to tailor her programs to better to my rehabilitation. She has a real drive and ambition to improve her programming and on her own effort and time, she took part in many workshops and courses to further her knowledge. I see that knowledge is then immediately reflected in my programs. After a year of working together, I was able to complete my first full season since 2018. Look no further, she’s the real deal.”

"I have been Emma’s client for a year. As someone who has never stepped into a gym and has some body image issues, I felt very fortunate to have a body-positive trainer. I never thought that I could become a person who enjoys working out, but thanks to Emma, who is non-judgmental and warm, I no longer feel scared to work out in the gym.
My main goal for training was to make everyday movements easier. After a year with Emma, we have exceeded our goals. What I found to be more valuable than achieving my goals is that Emma assisted me in my journey of understanding my body: what I can do with ease and what I need to do with more caution. Moreover, my relationship with my body has also improved. I no longer blindly use my weight as a goal but have learned to look out for other health indicators. I no longer use diet as my only pathway to a healthy body, instead, I know what my body needs.
I have been recommending Emma to most of my friends, especially those who have zero experience in training and/or have some fear about going to a gym. Emma is a wonderful, supportive, and professional trainer. She has guided me through the past year, she can also help you."

"I have had a number of trainers throughout my fitness journey. Unfortunately, I easily fell off the programs they set up for me. After coming back from a vacation and feeling dissatisfied with how I looked in a bathing suit, I wanted to start this fitness journey again. But this time, I wanted a trainer that I could connect with, one who would have a better understanding of what I was trying to achieve. In September 2021, I met Emma. I will never forget how much I talked about her to my partner after our first training session. I immediately knew this was a good fit. She really listened to what I had to say, was super positive, and more importantly, created a safe space where I felt comfortable explaining why I wanted to restart this journey. The encouragement and health teachings she has given me has helped me gain so much strength in the gym and has helped me manage my stress in my everyday life - especially when it comes to my job. I am amazed at the changes I have seen in my body, and proud of how I learned a new way to manage stress. Emma is one of a kind and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! You will not be disappointed."

"Emma is one of the best trainers I've had honor to train with, she is very good at understanding what exactly you need and then communicating it, which is not easy. She doesn't shy away from questions and has this amazing ability to make you believe in "the process." She celebrates the little milestones you hit which goes a long way in keeping motivational levels high! And she is always up for a laugh, which after a long, heavy set is much needed!"

"Emma is not just an amazing trainer but a great human being as well. She is attuned to your needs, requirements and abilities when designing a program and will adjust depending on how you feel day to day. She is caring and compassionate providing an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on during your low moments while encouraging you all the way.
After working with Emma, I feel the best I ever have with regards to my body! She considered all my body goals and helped me reach them in an adequate period of time. Emma was not just my trainer but I now consider her a lifelong friend."

I often struggle to get myself to the gym. I know the benefits but sometimes it’s hard for me to feel brave enough to walk into a space that often feels intimidating and unwelcoming to 4’11” girl that can barely fit on the gym equipment. However, I have never felt out of place while working out with Emma. She has gone out of her way to make the gym a safe space for me. I look forward to our sessions every week, knowing that she has designed a program to fit my goals and that I’m going to have a great time. Emma is that rare kind of trainer that understands her client's aesthetic and physical goals and the person behind the numbers and assessments. She understands her clients, genuinely wants to know them and cares for them, and is the best trainer because of that. Thanks to Emma's expertise and support, I feel better about going to the gym, I feel safer in the space, I understand the equipment, and I feel great about myself and my body. I am proud of everything I have accomplished so far with Emma. I can’t wait to continue to learn from her and feel amazing while doing it… even if I feel sore sometimes!
