Terminal City Training Vancouver Personal Trainer Strength & Conditioning

Finally found a space in East Vancouver to set up a little garage gym facility.

It should be open sometime in October 2010. I have yet to take posession as they are cleaning it up. I am sharing a triple-wide industrial garage with a pre-existing computer-geek project called The Hackery. If you want a computer re-built or other electronics trouble-shooting done, they seem like the cool folks to go to.

Right now I'm number crunching and figuring out the best equipment for the initial acquisitions. Things will only be getting better and better.

The big focus will be on group training. I will start with a women's group, a group for strength & conditioning for daily life, and a group for sports performance. Women are welcome in any group by-the-way. There has been interest in women's only training so I am making it a priority. Drop me a line if you are interested in one of the groups. If there is sufficient interest then other groups will be formed. I hope to cutivate interest in an olympic-lifts group for sure.

The atmosphere and training are going to be awesome.

I am just now in the process of completing an intensive course to become trained as a Club Coach in Olympic-style weightlifting. The course was developed by the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) and the national body for weightlifting in Canada (CWFHC) and delivered by the British Columbia Weightlifting Association (BCWA). I have a lot  of new acronyms to throw around. As the training comes to completion the next stage will be to find athletes who are interested in weightlifting and begin to train them up for competition.

Currently the sport of weightlifting includes two lifts: the snatch and the  clean & jerk. These lifts develop a tremendous amount of power-production
and are very well suited for athletic-style training for athletes of most any sport. They are technical and challenging lifts and therefore provide a very rewarding path of study.

I look forward to nurturing the development of future performers, to constantly improving my abilities as a coach, and also to develop my own qualities as a competitor myself.
