Meet Lily
​Hey! I’m Lily, a fourth-year kinesiology student here at York with a WITS Personal Training Level 2 certification! My love for wellness began with my own fitness journey 3 years ago. I started off like you, with my own personal trainer along with participating in group classes and now, I want to make that same positive influence on other people’s lives through physical activity. What matters most to me as a trainer is to provide my clients with lifelong skills, knowledge, and habits that can easily be done outside of our training time, as well as lead them towards a happier and healthier life. You can expect a warm, inclusive, and stimulating experience when training with me!
