Private Trainers

Kimberly Boudreau

Through years of experience, I grew to learn it is important to believe in yourself, as we are all capable of reaching our wildest dreams.

I have always believed in following our hearts and working in something that gives us complete satisfaction and peace. For me that job is to help people feel good about themselves from the inside out. I love to help people succeed and gain confidence while giving them a challenge. I am a personal trainer whose passion is working with people for weight loss. I offer private, semi-private or group training with 3-4 people. I guarantee that working with me will allow you to push beyond your limits and reach your goals.

Why have a personal trainer help you lose weight or adopt a healthier lifestyle? Imagine you are on a journey, and think of the trainer as your GPS. Just like the guidance system in your vehicle keeps you from taking the wrong turn and helps you arrive at your destination without stress, personal training guides you throughout the process of reaching your objectives.

I myself have struggled with my weight and from personal experience, I strive to make the process easier. If you train with me, you'll be training in a small group of three to four participants. You will be surrounded by like-minded individuals and have the support of others who share the same vision as well as seek to build positive relationships.

Nadine El Yafi

It is always gratifying to help others feel better and more empowered. This is what led me to teach Yoga, Pilates and become a Thai Yoga Massage Therapist.

I took my first yoga teacher’s training certification at Val Morin. Then, I traveled to Bali and diversified my knowledge and technique with many inspiring teachers. Along that path, I discovered Thai Yoga Massage. Since then, I have been sharing these passions with others. It would be a great pleasure to help you discover the numerous health benefits of Yoga, Pilates and Thai Yoga Massage, which helped me achieve, among other things, more inner peace, awareness, patience, joy, gratefulness, balance, and strength.

Chris Latham

Being someone who enjoys helping others and enjoys staying in shape, it only seemed natural that I would eventually grow into the domain of health and fitness. Having played sports throughout my life I enjoy bringing an athletic feel to my training sessions. I believe that we are all athletes, and it is with such a mentality that I treat our time together. An athlete is someone constantly striving towards achieving new goals. That inner athlete is something I enjoy finding in others. I view our relationship as something monumental in which we both grow together.
