Krystyn Diane Macatangay

Completed my Bachelors of Science (BSc.) degree in Kinesiology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Focusing on human anatomy, biomechanics, training and injury rehabilitation solidified my decision in becoming a Registered Kinesiologist through the College of Kinesiologists Ontario post graduation, as well as a Certified Personal Trainer. Both roles allow me to educate and motivate others, as well as progressing in my own knowledge and skills in this industry.

In the past, I have worked and am still working with a variety of individuals ranging from factors in age, athletic background, health conditions, physical ability, injuries and ultimate goals. As a trainer, I implement a lot of strength building through progressive overload, high intensity interval training, circuit-based, rehabilitation, and functional movements all through resistance training. However, programs are always cut and modified based on each individual. In addition, understanding the use of proper form, technique and recovery is something I teach clients to value as much as strength training.

The importance of a healthy and active lifestyle had been instilled into my mind as soon as movement coordinated. Being involved in a variety of sports wasn't only to keep up this lifestyle, but became a large basis of my growth in the ability to socialize well with those around me. Confidence is the top characteristic that truly helps us realize who we are as a person, which should be comfortable to show off to the world - no matter what. The best thing about being in the fitness industry is reminding anyone that being healthy is not just a physical aspect. Working with variating clients, I'm most proud to see each of them grow from only coming into the gym for training sessions to feeling comfortable enough to go in on their own and loving it.

My top priority is to make sure clients achieve all their fitness goals; the best way to get this done is first making sure they commit to a healthy lifestyle on their own with complete confidence.
