Meet Kimberley: Our New Personal Trainer for Seniors in Vaughan

A Trainer Who Understands Your Concerns

If you've been hesitant about starting fitness training, worried about falling, concerned about pain, or anxious after a past injury, you're not alone. Many seniors feel this way. What makes Kimberley exceptional is that she doesn't just understand these concerns intellectually. She approaches every client with genuine patience and the belief that fitness should feel safe, achievable, and confidence-building.

Kimberley specializes in working with older adults who are hesitant or fearful about exercise. She knows how to build trust, adapt movements to your body, and celebrate the small wins that add up to real independence and quality of life.

Credentials Built for Senior Fitness

Kimberley brings serious expertise to her role as a personal trainer for seniors. She holds:

Honours Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology

York University

Geriatric Certificate

McMaster University

Seniors Fitness Instructor Certification

Western University

Beyond these foundational qualifications, she maintains specialized certifications in CPR + AED, First Aid, PIECES, DementiAbility, and Gentle Persuasive Approaches. This means she's equipped to work confidently with clients managing arthritis, balance challenges, dementia, cognitive decline, and complex health needs.

Real-World Experience in Senior Care

Kimberley has worked with hundreds of older adults across leading senior care settings, including Shepherd Village, Newmarket Health Centre, and Scarborough Retirement Residence. In these roles, she designed and delivered both group and one-on-one fitness programs focused on strength, balance, flexibility, and functional movement.

Her programs emphasize real-life mobility. The movements that matter most: standing safely from a chair, navigating stairs confidently, improving your gait, and reducing fall risk. This is fitness designed around what you actually need to do every day.

Personal Experience, Professional Heart

What shapes Kimberley's approach most is her personal caregiving journey. For over a decade, she was an advocate and caregiver for her mother following a serious motor vehicle accident. Through this experience, she gained firsthand understanding of rehabilitation, mobility changes, and navigating the healthcare system. That lived experience translates into authentic empathy with both clients and their families.

Why Kimberley Fits Vintage Fitness

Kimberley's philosophy perfectly aligns with ours: fitness for older adults should never be intimidating or one-size-fits-all. Whether you need balance-focused sessions, exercise modifications for joint pain, or simply a trainer who listens and adapts, she approaches every client with respect, patience, and genuine care.

She's now available for in-home personal training and virtual sessions throughout Vaughan and the greater Toronto area, including North York, Richmond Hill, Etobicoke, and Scarborough.
