Columbia Integrated Health Centre is excited to provide personal training with a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).
Our Certified Personal Trainers are highly skilled and knowledgeable in the most comprehensive exercise protocols for those looking to improve their strength and conditioning and increase mobility and stability. They will motivate you and educate you on the best functional exercises. We know that exercise is a fundamental aspect of proper health, and our CPTs are trained to recognize the best exercises for you and motivate and support you throughout your program. In addition, they’ll work directly with your healthcare practitioner to ensure that you are ready and capable of a rehab program. They will modify any aspect of the training program to provide maximum benefits with minimal risk of injury. To that effect, all of our CPTs are practicing Kinesiologists having gone through 4 years of rigorous training at either UBC or Simon Fraser University. Some even have advanced training in Functional Movement Screens (FMS) and Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST).
Numerous studies have shown that even a modest increase in exercise can significantly reduce any chances of cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes. It can also quickly reduce your risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis. There is also a strong correlation between exercise and improved sleep, higher levels of energy, and normalization of our bodies’ hormone levels. As a result, you will look and feel better!
With the guidance of a Certified Personal Trainer, you can train with us onsite and apply what you learn at your home gym or facility. The benefits of a CPT may include the following:
- Critical guidance on posture, form, and technique!
- An invaluable wealth of knowledge and experience with how the body moves!
- Access various exercises and training protocols to keep it fun, fresh, and interesting!
- Ongoing support and motivation to help you reach your fitness goals!
