Always striving to improve!

Certified CrossFit Trainer CCFT and CrossFit Level 3 CF-L3 certificates arrived today. Thanks @crossfittraining !!! #crossfit #crossfitorangeville #ccft #cfl3 #earned

Just because we kip in CrossFit, doesn’t mean we can’t strict pull-up #crossfit #crossfitorangeville #pullups video cred @movanes

Today’s @atlas.strong.training WOD was 15-12-9 Back Squats (225/155) and Bar Muscle-ups. Felt like a few more squats so decided to take 315lbs for a ride. I remember not too long ago when 315 was my 1RM, now I’m hitting it for 5 sets of 5. This is my 5th set. #crossfit #crossfitorangeville #atlasstrongtraining #ageisjustanumber #work #squat #strength #hwpo

Sums up coaching quite well...

"The Certified CrossFit Trainer (CCFT) credential is for an experienced individual who wants to demonstrate a higher level of CrossFit coaching knowledge and ability. The purpose of the CCFT is to ensure that an individual possesses the knowledge and competency required to train clients safely and effectively.” The CCFT (CF-L3) exam is one to be prepared for. It’s a four hour, 160-question test that covers everything from programming, coaching, class management, nutrition science, anatomy, and leadership. It is a notoriously challenging exam. There are not many CF-L3 trainers. In fact, there are just 26 in ALL of Canada. Until now… The interest in this achievement started a couple years ago, as I started the studying process in April 2016. “Studying” took a back seat to a number of other life events (moving, my kids’ activities, birth of my daughter, etc.). Having said that, CrossFit, or more specifically coaching and helping others, is an incredible passion of mine. Ask anyone close to me and you will know that although I “work” my hours in the gym, coaching and programming, I also spend countless hours at home and away from the gym reading research, studying human kinetics, meticulously studying everything to do with nutrition, and striving to improve to help others the best I can. The journey is the destination, and although I am proud of this accomplishment, I know it doesn’t define me one way or another as a coach. I hope that the CCFT displays to others the passion and interest I have to continually learn and grow to improve the lives of others. @crossfittraining @crossfit.orangeville #CCFT #CrossFit #crossfitorangeville

Had an awesome weekend at the CrossFit Gymnastics seminar @cfgymnastics #crossfit #gymnastics #gymnasty #learn #improve #grow #educate

The reason I do what I do...the fact that these 2 very energetic boys get excited to come watch me workout, and actually sit still to watch and cheer me on means the world to me. Remember that you workout for you, but you are also setting an example for others, even those you don’t know are watching. Thanks for the video Lisa! #crossfit #crossfitorangeville #crossfitopen2018 #18point4 #workout #wod @crossfitgames @crossfit @crossfit.orangeville

I first attained my CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) back in 2011, as I wanted to not only differentiate myself from being more than “just” a trainer, but to also prove to my friends, family, and colleagues that this was a career path that meant a lot to me. One of the primary reasons behind attaining my CSCS, beyond the fact that it is considered to be the pinnacle of training certs, was that I loved the idea of trainers being required to continue to pursue up-to-date knowledge and research to grow personally, and professionally. 2017 is a re-certification year (as was 2014), and although it has certainly added a lot to my to-do list, spending countless hours on nights and weekends reading, researching, improving, and growing, I feel as though all of the extra work pays off for not only myself, but my clients as well. I continue to love what I do, and am glad that my 2017 re-certification process is now complete so that I can get back to focusing on some other big goals and ideas that I have planned for the coming months and years! #hardwork #cscs #scholarly #education #certification #improving #selfgrowth #improve #learn #grow #better #betterthanyesterday #excited #morefreetime
