Hey there, I’m Caylee! I’m a certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. That’s just a fancy way of saying that my job is to help you create meaningful changes to your lifestyle that will improve your relationship with food and your body.
“One day, or day one.” We’ve all heard the saying. Here’s my “day one” story.
My story begins over a decade ago when I was the only female bartender in one of those fancy, upscale cocktail bars. The job was fairly physically demanding and I often felt frustrated having to ask my male colleagues for help (have you ever changed a keg? Damn that’s heavy!). I wanted more than anything to feel strong and capable in my own body, and didn’t want to have to depend on others in order to keep up with my job, or in my life in general.
So I started strength training with the purpose of building a strong body - one that felt like home, and that I knew I could always depend on.
Fast forward many years later and my personal journey led me to becoming a Personal Training Specialist and Performance Nutrition Coach.

Phase 1: Goal Identification & Creating an Action Plan
Identification of your current patterns and behaviours that are either bringing you closer to or further away from your goals
Gain an understanding of your activity levels both at work and in leisure
Your workout program is delivered to you based on your training experience, current mobility restrictions, and specific goals.
Phase 2: Building New Habits
Intro to Macro and Calorie tracking using the Cronometer App
If initial focus is building muscle, we enter into a Build phase, increasing calories into a surplus
If initial focus is fat loss, we gradually enter into a muscle sparring calorie deficit
Based on training experience, movement patterns are assessed as we strive for form mastery with a focus on building muscular endurance and tolerance
Phase 3: Growth
At this point you are equipt with all of the tools for success as you continue to work towards reinforcing your new healthy habits
Progress is still carefully tracked to ensure that you are on the right path towards your goals
Muscular strength and hypertrophy (growth) become the focus of your training - new and more challenging movement patterns are introduced as you continue to develop confidence in the gym
