Kathleen is a long-time fitness enthusiast and Lift Fitness workout participant. She is a Certified Personal Fitness and Weight Trainer, registered with BCRPA and certified by Douglas College in 2016. She is a former secondary school teacher, university level instructor, and teacher union president. After retirement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in 2015, she decided to fulfill her long-held ambition to certify as a fitness trainer. Kathleen has a particular interest in fitness and resistance training for older adults because she knows firsthand the enormous everyday health benefits that accrue from having improved muscular strength, greater aerobic capacity, and leaner body mass. She wants to help older adults achieve their healthiest, happiest life through progressive training programs adapted to every participant’s unique fitness and lifestyle goals.
In addition to weight training three times a week, Kathleen also runs at least two times a week and takes long daily walks with her greyhound. She loves reading, gardening, art, travel and being out in nature. Kathleen welcomes you to the LIFT experience.
