Our Clients & Testimonials
“In 2022 I decided I wanted to take part in a body building competition as part of my self-love journey. When I began looking for a coach to help guide me through the process, I found Jackie through a recommendation of a friend. My initial consult with Jackie was through a phone call and I was bursting with excitement to share my story with her. Jackie listened closely, asked questions, and took the time to determine whether we would a good fit working together. She was honest and discussed realistic goals within the timeframe of when I wanted to compete.
After reviewing my options and setting up a budget I initially signed up to work with Jackie for 8 months through my first competition prep as a WNBF Bikini Novice competitor, ambitiously scheduled to take the stage in May 2023. I had never lifted weights, dieted, or been around this unique lifestyle. Jackie took me under her wing, and created a weightlifting program designed specifically for me utilizing my home gym equipment and provided feedback on my form when sending videos back and forth. Jackie was patient when I began learning about nutrition and macros, encouraging me, and provided a cookbook with macro-friendly recipes.
I had to opportunity to meet with Jackie for in-person posing sessions. She was detailed oriented and helped me learn the correct positions and feminine transitions between each pose. After each session, Jackie always took a few extra minutes to check in, chat and to ensure I had everything I needed. On the day of the competition, Jackie was a bundle of positive energy. She made sure to have a presence and was nearby to help steady the nerves. Jackie cheered the loudest as I stepped on stage, and I felt so supported and prepared to be there. Since this competition I have now signed up to work with Jackie once again for a full year, with the goal of hitting the WNBF stage in 2024.
Overall, Jackie is an incredible coach. I have always appreciated her honesty and transparency. She doesn’t always say the “nice thing” or just tell me what I want to hear. Rather she tells me what I need in that moment. Jackie is kind, thoughtful and took the time to get to know me beyond just being a competitor. She is knowledgeable, health focused and always make certain I am feeling my best both physically and emotionally. Jackie is my biggest cheerleader, and I value all she has brought into my life. I am a better, stronger person because of Jackie.”
LIFESTYLE CLIENTS
I’m Claire, and I’m a registered nurse!
I started working with Jackie in October, after I always felt tired and starving after my shift (cravings sugar so hardcore!)
Working with Jackie has been such a great experience - I’ve learned lots about nutrition, food tracking, and maintaining a work out schedule.
She hasn’t required me to quit or cut out anything, I’ve just been able to learn how to incorporate the foods I love into a much healthier diet.
I have much more energy after work now, and find myself overall happier!
“Working with Jackie has restored my faith in good coaches again!”
“Working with you ladies has made me become stronger physically and mentally and I’m forever grateful.”
If anyone is stuck and looking for help Jackie is amazing.
I initially met Jackie in Vancouver Starbucks when she was competing in the Vancouver WNBF Show.
I then had an incline to follow her on Instagram and that was no mistake! She has the drive and ambition you would want someone to have when you are looking for a trainer.
At the beginning of this year I made the decision to take my health back in to my own hands. I started going to the gym, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. Jackie was offering a free month challenge and there were no questions asked that this is when I made the decision to hire her as my Personal Trainer.
She helped me define my goals and provided me with amazing knowledge, workouts, nutrition guidance and much more. I could not be happier!
Jackie puts in so much effort to help reach my goals through nutrition, goal setting, mindset, and fitness. She has helped me with confidence, knowledge, routine, and overall well-being. I look forward to the variety of workouts and the nutrition advice and ideas as well as how to get out of my own head and realize I can do anything I want to!
We share several phone calls, text messages, and chats on her App (YES! She has an app that is amazing!) to help with motivation, encouragement, determination, routine, and the drive. Everyone has bad days where they either fall off track or get discouraged and I message her with my feelings and Jackie is so quick to respond to help boost that confidence and reassure me these days are normal, and progress comes over a period of time and doesn’t happen overnight. Not only that, but if you need help with nutrition, she’s quick to provide ideas, tips, and anything else you could think of.
None of my goals would be possible without the motivation and encouragement Jackie provides. My Personal Trainer now feels like part of my family and Jackie is one of the greatest people with her fitting personality and passion to make success happen. I think there is no need to mention that I would and have recommended Jackie to everyone!
