Meet Holly! 

My Story & Philosophy

Hey! My name is Holly Smith, I am a certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT) and have a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology (B.Kin). I currently work as a strength and conditioning coach out of a private gym in London, Ontario. My passion is helping people optimize their health and optimize the way they move.

I finally found a method that allowed me to feel completely energized and constantly get better in the gym. My education and experience taught me if we can optimize our health, and we can master how we move, we can feel better, look better, move better, and we can fall in LOVE with the process. At this time I also discovered the importance of proper nutrition. Food quality became so important to me and I noticed a huge difference in how I felt. Nutrition and my health became top priority - this was a game changer not only for how I felt but my progressions within my training.
