Pauline is a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach dedicated to transforming lives through health & fitness. Her journey began with CrossFit in 2010 and then several years specifically training in Olympic lifting in 2017.

With experience in both group fitness classes and one-on-one training, she understands that every individual is unique. She enjoys building genuine relationships with clients, tailoring workouts and nutrition plans to suit their specific goals, needs and lifestyles.

Outside the gym, Pauline is a foodie (she really enjoys eating!) and stays active through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and scuba diving when possible. Her dedication to these pursuits has led to gold medals in both Olympic lifting and Jiu-Jitsu, fueling her passion for pushing boundaries and achieving goals.

If Pauline were a superhero she’d pick Black Widow because she has a dark past, yet chooses to fight for good, is a martial artist with psychological powers and is just a strong badass woman. #lookout

As an undersized “husky” kid who loved to play sports, Kingsley was always obsessed with improving athleticism and fitness. Movement was always in his DNA. However, his passion for sports led to chronic, overuse injuries that often sidelined him as a youngster.

Kingsley believes that overall wellness – being fit and pain-free, is attainable, no matter what age you are. He has the unwavering optimism that we all can do something today to create a better version of ourselves.

Whether he’s working with an athlete, treating sports-related injuries or the everyday individual who wants to optimize the quality of their life, Kingsley has this goal in mind: promote and influence the body’s natural ability to heal, re-learn and be savage.
