Welcome to Online Coaching!

The fitness industry is confusing for most people. Social media, fads, infomercials and quick fix gimmicks haven’t made things any easier. 

In an unregulated fitness industry, many Trainers offer little help. Most are young and inexperienced, failing to address the unique needs of mature clients. Using boxed online software packages, trainers treat exercisers, young and old, all the same. 

With over 30 years of experience, KR integrates post secondary degrees in Physical Education and Human Psychology. KR understands how adults at various stages behave, learn and progress. Anyone can prescribe exercise. Not anyone can develop trust, motivate frustrated clients and produce great results.

Check out the About Us page for a full description of our extensive qualifications.

Many Trainers prescribe nutrition plans - very few are qualified. Those who are qualified tend to focus on confusing calorie counts, weighing food and measuring everything you eat.   

At KR, its less about the food on your plate and more about understanding the mental triggers that lead to emotional binging. We focus on lifestyle choices, shopping habits and coping strategies. If its not in the house, you won’t eat it.

Using free apps such as MyFitnessPal we develop a plan that fosters accountability and sustainable behaviors.

Fitness Centres offer great equipment selection but can be very intimidating. Gyms appeal to people who like gyms. 

Over three decades, we’ve developed and outfitted many public and corporate gyms in addition to condos, resorts and home gyms - everything from multimillion dollar equipment lines to $10 resistance bands purchased for home gyms from the local box store. In the end, its less to do with equipment selection and more about what you do with it.

Chat with us about an equipment option that best suits your budget, space and lifestyle.

Take us with you on your next work trip or vacation. Hotel and resort gyms are simply tools in your gym bag.

Even clients without access to equipment can take advantage of simple but effective body weight exercises. The free MyFitnessPal app gives us access to your food choices so that we can help budget your Pina Coladas.

Rehabilitation is much more than performing a few exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist. Wellness is a lifestyle choice that keeps you vibrant and active for many years. Joint stabilization, flexibility, muscle balance and strength are important for everyone – especially injured, deconditioned or aging clients. 

Using the recommendations of your doctor or rehabilitation practitioner we can help get you back on your feet. Again, proper coaching is about support, guidance and partnership.

Every person who begins an exercise program or starts eating healthy sees improvements. As with most things, success is dependant on your degree of commitment and persistence. In fact, developing perseverance beats the best exercise routine. Exercise is ineffective if you aren’t willing to do it.

Of course, change takes time. For most people, establishing a new habit takes around three months. While we encourage clients to be patient, we wouldn’t want you to be unhappy with your purchase. If you would like to discontinue your monthly service, simply email us 10 days prior to your next billing date.

Beware gimmicks and scams offering big promises. Vibrating machines, elimination diets, cheap home equipment, powders and drinks don’t work. Six week exercise programs that cater to both grandma and the 18 year old football player are too general.

You have a choice. Trust your doctor whose been pleading with you to exercise and start eating properly or listen to the muscly, tanned guy hocking revolutionary fat burning supplements on late night television. 

Here’s a very general rule of thumb: With some hard work, it takes a few months to establish a new habit -  less time to lose weight, less time to build muscle, less time to improve neurological efficiency. Its all specific to the individual, their existing conditioning, genetics and degree of effort.

Many clients swear they feel different within the first week. Its important to remember, however that most exercisers experience initial weight gain as muscle growth often surpasses fat loss. No worries, it’s a good sign! (Unless of course you’re supplementing your new exercise regimen with cake.)     

The good news is, people who reduce calories and start exercising see results.

While we encourage clients to schedule calls according to their service plan, we want you to be successful! Sure, give us a shout. As our busy schedule often has us with other clients, please leave a message or forward an email with your questions. (We find email works better than texts as it facilitates more detailed discussions.)

Clients can upgrade their plan if they feel more frequent dialogue is necessary. You can also purchase additional skype or phone minutes without changing your plan. See Coaching Package details above for more information.
