Eric has a very holistic approach to his coaching, aiming to see all of his clients reach a higher quality in all aspects of their physical fitness. Specializing in improving overall function, performance and health of the human body you can be sure training with Eric you will be well taken care of.
Exercise has been the foundation for most of the growth in my life. I first experienced physical training in my late teens and instantly fell in love with it. Being able to challenge your body against resistance day after day until you begin to see yourself transform, all that hard work paying off. Your new body becomes a symbol for all the sacrifice, discipline and hours of work you put in, worth every single rep.
For me exercise and a healthy lifestyle not only allowed me to achieve the body I desired but it also gave me the strength , mind. Fighting through years of deep depression in my youth, exercise has been an anchor, my lighthouse if you will, a reference point that even while battling through a storm would be able to guide me home to still waters. It taught me the power of setting goals, developing discipline, embracing the challenge and most of all never giving up on the things you desire even when times get hard.
Exercise has undoubtedly changed and shaped my whole life and I know it is my purpose to use my experiences, knowledge, and passion to change the lives of as many other people as I can. This is a life long journey, I embrace each and every day and I cannot wait to help you along your journey!

Athletics have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up playing on every sports team that would have me and recreationally playing every other sport on the planet so naturally exercise and fitness have always been a driving force in my life.
It wasn't until just a few short years ago that I decided I wanted to push forward and have the body I always dreamed of having, so I decided to give weightlifting and the gym a chance to capture and captivate me. That did not take long once I started training with Eric, I started seeing results and was instantly hooked and willing to anything and everything to continue my progress and keep moving forward.
Fitness then started leaking in to all other areas of my life, it taught me how to set goals and micro goals within those goals to stay accountable which then made me more disciplined and dedicated for constant growth in and out of the gym. Even when things became very hard and life threw curveballs at me fitness taught me to embrace challenges and know that I could get through anything and come out stronger on the other side.
Exercise has been and will continue to be the backbone of growth in my life and has become such a passion, I feel it's now become my calling to share this gift with the world and use my knowledge to help others reach their true potential. I think the greatest gift I could ever receive, would be knowing that I positively impacted the world anci was able to give back and improve lives.

GGS-1 Certified woman’s coaching specialist, Coach CanfitPro Certified, Precision Nutrition Level I Certified, CPR, NCCP Coach, Softball and Ringette
I spent the majority of my youth involved in a variety of sports including swimming on a competitive swim team and figure skating
My father was an athletic trainer involved with lacrosse, football and especially hockey, working with a franchise in the WHA before it merged with the NHL. I inherited my father, love for sport.
I have coached ringette as well as softball, taking a few of my teams to provincial play-offs as well as managing a youth softball team that participated at the national championship level. As an adult, I took up playing ringette and dragonboat paddling. I enjoy participating in all types of sports having run a number of half-marathons. Recently, my adult daughter and I competed in a couple of Highland Games in the heavy games events.
After starting to workout with Eric at EMF Fitness, a fire was ignited within me. I am in the best shape of my life, and I want to share my journey with others. So, at the age of 55, I became a certified personal training specialist.
Exercise is and will continue to be a very important part of my life. I look forward to being able to be a positive role model for my clients and will be with them every step of the way on their journey towards a fitter, healthier lifestyle.

Fitness has been a long road for me.
Struggling with weight and self esteem issues for most of my life, I always had this feeling that “fitness” just wasn’t my thing.Then, a few years ago, I walked into EMF. At the time, I was tired and depressed. I felt lost. There were pieces missing, but I didn’t know what they were, or how to find them. I just knew that life had become unbearable. So, I struggled through my first session with Eric - red faced and dripping sweat by the end, I knew without a doubt that I had to come back. I had to make a change.
The next few years brought me so much more than I could have dreamed when I walked through the doors. Through strength training, I found respect for myself. I found passion, my voice, and a sense of wonder at the mind-body connection. I started to recognize that I am someone that has to push boundaries, that I am happiest when I follow my heart, and that I needed to help others find their voice. I needed to create change.
If there is one statement I would stand by, it is that people are amazing. My goal as a coach is not just to open doors into the world of fitness, but to also help my clients find what is uniquely them. I believe that to cultivate a strong body, we must also cultivate a strong mind.
