My name is Debbie Shelstad and I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition and wellness specialist. I hold a Mount Royal University Diploma in Leisure Services-Recreation Therapy and have been a level 2 certified gymnastics coach for the past 15 years. 

I  have been involved with competitive sports all my life and have experienced the benefits of working with a personal trainer. I was inspired to become a trainer because I am passionate about exercise and want to educate and motivate others to succeed. 

I will help you:

• Assess your physical condition and track changes
• Set goals                                                                                              
• Make a nutritional plan and learn better eating habits                          
• Learn proper strength training technique                                       
• Improve endurance
• Find motivation                                                                    
• Improve your appearance                                                              
• Feel better
• Improve your health
• Gain muscle and lose fat
• Tone up
• Improve mental alertness
• Reach your goals

I will start with a free 30 min consultation to review your health history, your goals, and answer any questions you may have.  From there I will develop a plan that will work best for you.

Endurance and Strength Training
I will guide you through a program that will develop strength and increase endurance. I ensure that workouts don't get repetitive or boring. I will work with you to achieve maximum results. I will combine weights, cardio, and flexability exercises that will give you optimum results.

Tracking Results
An important part of the process is tracking results. To maximize your progress, we need to continually monitor and adjust your program. This cannot be done effectively without proper monitoring and ongoing assessments. We can continually tailor your program so that you are getting what you need to achieve your goals.

Nutrition Counseling
Eating well is also important. Together we will develop a plan for healthy eating. I will guide you through the process and help you get through hurdles along the way.

Ongoing Training and Support
I will show you techniques to improve strength and endurance for a lifetime. You will learn valuable techniques that can be incorporated into your lifestyle for years to come.
