Brenda Canning

Active Isolated Stretching, Total Body Conditioning, & Personal Trainer

My name is Brenda Canning, and I am a certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor with over 25 years of experience. I specialize in balance, flexibility, strength, and pre- and post-knee and shoulder rehabilitation. Throughout my life, I have been an athlete and strive for excellence in everything I do.

I am passionate about helping others find happiness and feel good about themselves. My goal is to help clients achieve a happy, well-balanced lifestyle that minimizes the risk of future health-related issues. I specialize in developing simple and effective training routines for busy clients who can’t spend an hour at the gym several times a week.

Most importantly, I deeply care about my clients. Nothing is more valuable to me than helping someone reach their fitness goals and being their personal guide every step of the way.

Yes, it takes motivation, determination, and consistency to succeed. Although it may not always be easy and you may face a few hurdles, you can be sure that you will eventually see your body in a whole new light. You’ll not only look good but also feel better, happier, and more confident. All you have to do is take that first step on the journey to your new life.
