“My mentor/guru/coach/friend/trainer.

Who would have thought that after one night of searching online for a personal trainer at 2:00am I would find such a gem. Let me put it plain and simple: Jamie isn’t like the rest of them. Jamie was and is my first personal trainer – sure I had several other coaches in soccer, softball, swimming, gymnastics, riding, volleyball the list goes on; but this one I got to pick myself. In all honesty, I got lucky – here I was some 20 year old girl surfing the internet, eager to get abs, his website looked legit, and before I knew it I had sent off an e-mail to meet and start training.
First impressions: 1 Nice guy, 2 Knows what he is talking about, 3 Has a sweet fully-equipped home gym
First week progress: 5% drop in body fat percentage
First month training: exposed to a whole new world of nutrition and training (IIFYM)
First year of training: trained for my first Bikini Competition that took place in September 2015 where Jamie lead me to a 2nd place finish
Second year of training: trained for BC Provincials, July 2016, where I finished top 10

Timeline and statistics aside, what Jamie brings to the table above all else is 110% dedication to me, my training, and my nutrition. Yes, my physical shape has transformed over the past few years but there is so much more that has transformed than that. I was one of those “lazy but talented” kids growing up, which worked out through high school sports, but I knew it wouldn’t get me through training for bodybuilding shows. Jamie has taught me dedication. He taught me that perseverance and a hard work ethic will always pay off. And with that, he has allowed me to flourish and prove myself wrong on numerous occasions; reaching goals and beating PRs time after time again.
Health and fitness is Jamies life. If he isn’t training someone, sleeping, or eating, he is more than likely researching and learning more about health and fitness. Athletes put SO MUCH faith and trust in to their coaches hands, (manipulating your caloric intake, editing your training program, etc…) and this is why I stress the knowledge and dedication that Jamie possesses. The passion he exudes while teaching me about my macros, nutrition tracking, and exercises is fascinating and inspirational beyond words. How grateful am I to have found such amazing human to share my fitness journey with.

The number one reason people don’t invest in a personal trainer is because it’s expensive, but if you ask me, this experience has been priceless.”
