Coach Whitney

I was SO excited to help one of my hard working clients feel better last night after this 90 minute FST stretch session. . . Working 16 hour shifts for the past few weeks requiring him to sit for long periods of time left him in a lot of pain! Last night we worked on releasing his gluteals, low back and hamstrings along with some upper body relaxation to trigger a parasympathetic nervous system response (think relax mode versus fight or flight mode). .... . Post treatment last night he could walk without pain, feel better range of motion AND check out this before & after picture!!! . . I truly love helping my clients feel better whether it be with better movement, fitness, strength, nutrition or just feeling less stressed! * 2021 is going to be better guys, I feel it!!!! . . And special thanks to my client for letting me share his story & pictures and having the trust in me last night - he was dancing out of the studio which made my night! . . #fst #fitness #ygkfitness #ygkstretching #ygkstretch #ygkfst #fascialstretchtherapy #fascialrelease #ygkfitness #ygkpersonaltraining #ygkhealth #ygksmallbusiness #ygk #ygkkingston #ygkhealthandwellness See more

What is fitness and training REALLY all about? It is about THIS. It is about not just aging but aging with vitality and strength.... It is about increasing your health span versus just your life span. We all want to live as long as we can but what do those years look like and what will we be able to accomplish and do? THIS is what fitness, movement, physiotherapy and training IS all about. PS -Thanks so Alwyn Cosgrove for sharing this video and for being such a great mentor and coach in our industry!

Good food. Quality training. Daily movement. Gratitude. . . Tonight I was working with a new client and we both agreed that if 2020 has taught us any lesson it is just how little stuff we need and how truly important it is to take care of our health & the humans we love. .... . For almost a year the world has been paralyzed in fear, massive disruption and turmoil. I am truly grateful for being able to still coach, teach, treat and educate my clients, for the opportunity to take care of my own health AND for my biggest lesson of my year: having gratitude for each day (even the craziest ones...)and appreciation for the incredible humans in my life #mytribe #ygkfitness #gratitude #2020lessons #ygkpersonaltraining #ygk See more

Start today, start this minute start this moment. We all have the power to change our lives with the choices we make each day and the mindset we choose to adopt. Do you focus on what you don’t have or the challenges you have in front of you OR do you focus on what you DO have and what you want to achieve? . . Don’t wait. Don’t put things off. Don’t look back at what could have been, move forward, focus on what you want for your health and fitness and take it day by day. One ...of my clients said to me the other day that he always wanted to be fit and in good shape but never thought it was possible... he told me he can now not only see that IS possible he believes he will be! . . . It doesn’t matter you age or stage in life, anything is possible when you make the decision to just start. . . #ygkkingston #ygkfitness #ygkpersonaltraining #ygkhealth #kingstonontario #fitness #ygkpersonaltrainer #wellness #ygkfascialstretching .#ygkfascialstretchtherapy See more
