Matt began weight training when he was just 15 years old. He later decided to pursue his passion by studying Fitness and Health and thereafter earned his degree in Kinesiology. He was overjoyed when he helped a Nielsen Fitness client get into shape before a total knee replacement surgery and build strength after the surgery. This client’s operated knee grew to be equal with the unoperated knee, and now they continue with a healthy lifestyle while being in their 70’s! Matt’s future goals include pursuing a Master’s in Kinesiology to have a role in changing the fitness industry for the better and helping to spread the correct knowledge and information to those who don’t have access to it.
Darbie’s interest in fitness began during childhood, including competing extensively in equestrian sports while in high school. Now, Darbie aspires to create a safe and comfortable place for those who are new to fitness and are inexperienced. She holds a degree in Kinesiology and health sciences and is a certified personal trainer, and she uses this knowledge to empower others. When her clients feel unmotivated, Darbie emphasizes the importance of committing to doing at least one set of exercises and focusing on consistency over quantity. This mindset helps her clients stay focused, and to see exercise as an investment in their health and overall well-being.
Lizette grew up participating in both team and solo sports such as basketball, soccer, and gymnastics, which was an important part of her upbringing. This, along with her father (who is a doctor and career runner), encouraged her to pursue the same passion for health and fitness by graduating as a certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist. Her ideal clients are those who are kind to themselves and enjoy variety and creative movement. She looks forward to be climbing mountains in her 60’s and she hopes some of her clients would like to do the same!
