Nicola Gildersleeve - Personal Trainer

I would like to take the time to introduce Nicola Gildersleeve, a personal trainer who's passion and determination for success have rendered her well sought after and an asset to all who work with her. Nicola and I grew up together living 5 houses apart. Even as children we worked together, competed together and motivated each other to be the best that we could be, Nicola extends that same passion to her clients, supporting them every step of the way.

Nicola Gildersleeve is a Can-Fit-Pro certified Personal Trainer who holds a Bachelor in Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia.

Nicola has a strong passion for health and fitness. She truly cares about the health and well-being of her clients. She will do whatever it takes to see that her clients achieve their goals, no matter how big they may seem. She understands that health and fitness is a lifestyle, not something one does every now and again to lose weight.

Not one to stand on the side lines, Nicola practices what she preaches and has been an athlete all her life. She stays fit and healthy by running, cycling, skiing, climbing, and adventuring in the North Shore Mountains. She has a passion for life that can not be replicated.

Nicola delivers high energy, challenging, and fun workouts in an environment that promotes success. She has experience training a wide variety of clientele (seniors, youth, athletes, weight loss, and rehabilitation).

Positive thinking

Sometimes we feel its hopeless, eating right, exercising, loosing that weight. Sometimes we say and think its not worth it, we can't succeed because we haven't before, we will fall off the wagon time and time again. What makes this time different then last time?

I feel that we physic ourselves up for monday... "I'll start monday" and it never happens... and then ten monday have gone by and you are still not at the gym and still reaching for that chocolate bar at 3:00.

Try to be positive about the changes you are going to make, and set realistic results, and know that it is not going to happen over night! Be patient with yourself and know that you will fall off the band wagon, but having the strength power and motivation to get right back on the wagon again, instead of throwing your hands up in the air and saying "its too hard, I give up!" Surround yourself with people who want you to succeed and help you to get back on track, support you. Find a gym buddy or a partner to train with, Personal Trainers are often willing to partner train... I know a few if you need any good ones!

The most important thing is to have positive support around you, but also within you. Don't beat yourself up for not going to the gym one day, don't eat something and then regret it. Regret in the body will manifest itself and the food won't be digested properly, instead it will be turned into fat and stored. So if you are going to eat something unhealthy choose to eat it... don't sit there thinking about how bad it is for you and how bad it is that you are eating it, and how you regret eating it.. ect.

A positive outlook will do wonders for the body, mind and spirit! Nourish yourself.
