I’m a BCRPA certified personal trainer with specialty training in older adults and pre/post-natal fitness, and I train clients one-on-one in my private Coquitlam studio. I started training women in their 50s and 60s because I saw how much confidence comes from feeling strong, and I wanted to give them a space where they never feel out of place.
“Marcela makes every session feel like it was designed just for us. We look forward to training each week, and we feel stronger and more capable than we have in years.”
“I was nervous about starting at 58. Marcela made it feel easy and safe from day one, and now I carry my own groceries up the stairs without a second thought.”
“The private studio was exactly what I needed. No crowds, no mirrors full of strangers, just focused, friendly coaching.”
“After my baby, I didn’t know where to start. Marcela built a gentle plan around my doctor’s advice, and I feel like myself again.”
“Marcela worked alongside my physiotherapist after my knee surgery. I’m back on my hiking trails with more energy than before.”
Please check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you are pregnant, postpartum, or managing an injury or health condition. Personal training complements, and does not replace, medical or physiotherapy care.
