Pauline Helmke - South Granville
I am passionate about exercise as a means to improve quality of life, and the importance of developing a positive relationship to working out by experiencing it as fun and rewarding. I specialize in working on strength retention, mobility and improved daily physical function, as well as prevention of disease and cognitive decline caused by physical inactivity. I tailor my approach to each individual client, focusing on what is important to them and helping them improve their overall health in a way that is enjoyable, and that they look forward to.

Kseniya Yakovenko - Downtown, Kitsilano
I am a registered kinesiologist that's passionate about promoting movement for all. I completed my Kin degree at UBC and have since devoted my career to helping older adults maintain their independence, strength, and vitality. My previous experience includes working with older adults, and individuals with spinal cord injuries, stroke, MS, Parkinson's, and dementia. Whether it's fall prevention, strength building, or injury recovery, I personalize and tailor each program to improve overall health in a way that is fun and safe.
Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga/pilates, or you might find me outdoors, hiking or skiing on the North Shore!

Paige Reinhard- North Vancouver
I completed my Master’s in Kinesiology in 2021 at the University of British Columbia and have spent the last few years working as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I believe movement should be enjoyable so I create individualized plans with strategies for behaviour change to help my clients reach their goals.
Education is key to my approach—I want my clients to feel confident and capable on their own. As a collegiate lightweight rower, I earned two national titles, and now I channel my energy into boxing and Muay Thai!
