CHRISTINA DI CHIARA

Christina studied Kinesiology and Applied Health at the University of Winnipeg and conducted research in the Exercise Science and Physical Health Education Faculty at the University of Victoria.

I have been working in the fitness industry since 2007, as a certified group fitness, Zumba and Yoga instructor. A CSEP - Certified Personal Trainer and NCCP trained in sports programming. As a dancer and yoga instructor I can attest to the benefits of movement and body weight training, and the strength required for calisthenics.

I enjoy working with various age groups from children to seniors and have previously worked with CIS athletes including soccer, hockey, basketball, and volleyball, as well as national competitive figure skater, dancers, climbers, and surfers.

Currently my focus is on rehabilitation, pre and post surgical, musculoskeletal injuries, post concussion syndrome, senior services including fall prevention and education, mobility and strength training with a focus on proper lifting techniques and biomechanics.
