All of the personal trainers at The Runner’s Academy are registered kinesiologists with degrees from accredited Canadian Universities, and they also hold certifications with reputable strength training organizations. Our trainers take a personalized, goal centered approach to assessment, program design and motivation.
During your first assessment, our trainers will discuss your health history, your complete exercise/training background and your future training goals. From this, our trainers will prescribe a program based specifically on where you are starting from. Your progress is then tracked throughout the sessions and there is continuous re-evaluation to ensure goal centered training. Whether you are coming back from injury or looking to start your first 5km training plan ever, our trainers are passionate about helping you improve your form, strength, mobility, power and speed.
As kinesiologists, our trainers are well versed in the latest sport rehabilitation and exercise science. With proper exercise progression and evidence based protocols, we will help you integrate a strength plan into your routine, or your busy schedule. Working alongside our chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists, our trainers can deliver complimentary exercise therapy and goal drive strength training.
