“My personal training session was fantastic. My personal trainer was very informative, very personable and my new workout routine is a breath of fresh air.”
— R. Matthews, Burnaby

Reach Your Goals

No matter what your ability, level of fitness or specific training goals, we will match a trainer to your specific needs and goals. Learn safe and correct training techniques by working with a personal trainer!

The City of Burnaby personal trainers come from a variety of educational backgrounds. All are certified through BC Recreation Parks Association (BCRPA) and/or Can Fit Pro.

The Process

Your personal trainer will begin by charting your current fitness level and lifestyle habits. Each of us will have our own particular goals, and these can range from gaining a greater sense of well-being to improving sleep patterns, overcoming aches and pains, or shedding excess pounds.

Based on your current fitness level and long-term fitness goal, your personal trainer will help you to create, develop and maintain a long-term exercise/fitness plan geared towards helping your overall health including muscle tone, flexibility, strength, stamina and circulation. The right program will even reduce stress and tension in the body while also developing core strength and decreasing body fat.
