Health:

  • Innovative Fitness in Whistler is offering a NEW and Very Unique Program for Individuals at risk for or who are currently living with chronic disease. I have worked as a clinical exercise specialist/ kinesiologist in the interior and have a huge passion for helping individuals improve their health and wellness, and manage their disease. I feel there is a gap here in whistler, many individuals go to St. Pauls for the Healthy heart program, but then have nothing to continue with when they are finished at St Pauls and return to Whistler.
