William's story is about his journey after experiencing two heart attacks.

TESTIMONIAL

Equality Fitness changed my life. Two years ago Bobbi-Jo Atchison suggested I sign up for a woman's fitness challenge called Femsport. I chuckled and said, "I don't think so." Bobbi-Jo recognized my hesitation and immediately offered her support.

 

Bobbi-Jo's expertise, consistent support, and caring spirit helped me achieve what I never thought possible. Bobbi-Jo set me up with a detailed and clear and specific program to condition me for the event. She monitored my progress and critiqued my form to ensure I was receiving the best treatment for my body.

 

Bobbi-Jo changed and tweaked my program as she saw fit and consistently checked in with me with specific questions for the 7 months leading up to the event.

 

I showed up at Fem Sport prepared mentally and physically thanks to Bobbi-Jo's amazing ability to prepare me. Flipping a 280 pound tire at this event was life changing for me and I 100% thank Bobbi-Jo for making this possible for me. I highly recommend using Equality Fitness.

Have nothing but wonderful things to say about Equality Fitness & Recreation. The difference in our Dad since receiving their services is remarkable. He used to fall daily in his care facility. Now after a few months of the program - his falls are less than once every month or two.  It's incredible!  

 

They are professional and extremely well run. Dad loves his time with Bobbi-Jo. The care facility now spends time exercising with him as well, as they've seen the benefits of everything she does with him. Can't say it enough... well worth it!

​Bobbi-Jo has been a blessing to my family.  Not only is she helping my father regain body strength, but she showers him with kindness, patience, and compassion. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

TESTIMONIAL

Equality Fitness changed how fitness and "training" have always been for my son. By first getting to know him, then really seeing where his strengths were and then leaning into those strengths so that he started to build confidence and self esteem regarding fitness, to see he was capable and able, and then to take that and adapt it to his needs.

 

This has allowed my son, to go from a supported fitness program once a week, to achieving a 10km run, to a half marathon in Vancouver, to a half marathon in Edmonton to then climbing a mountain.  As a Mom, I needed someone to see what I saw and turn that into a reality is an once-in-a-lifetime dream came true.  They will rise up to wherever you set the bar at.  Dream big, and Equality Fitness is at our side to ensure it happens.

TESTIMONIAL

Hiring Equality Fitness to work with our mom has been the best decision for her and our family.

​

Amanda, Lauren, Chelsea and Nate have all worked with her over the past couple of years and I cannot say enough good things about each of them. The sessions they plan are fun and engaging, both physically and cognitively. Visits from the team are an absolute highlight of Mom’s week!

 

As she is in a care home, days can be very long and lonely, and having her visits to look forward to are such a blessing. Seeing her laugh and have fun again has been amazing! I highly recommend the therapists from Equality Fitness. They have become more like family than companions for Mom.

TESTIMONIAL

Our son has been working with Equality Fitness for over five years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. As expected, their trainers are highly knowledgeable and skilled in physical training. But what truly sets them apart is their heart.

​

Our son lives with both intellectual and physical challenges, and as such, he connects best with a very specific type of individual—someone who’s not only patient and understanding but genuinely engaging and uplifting. Every trainer we’ve worked with at Equality Fitness has been just that. These are young, outgoing adults who recognize the importance of making physical fitness not just effective, but enjoyable—dare I say, even fun.

​

What makes Equality Fitness truly exceptional is how they go beyond the physical training. Knowing that our son often lacks opportunities for organic peer interaction, the trainers and volunteers have taken it upon themselves to become more than just instructors. They’ve learned his favorite music, his favorite sports teams, and they weave those interests into their workouts and conversations. This attention to detail and genuine connection fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion that can’t be overstated.

​

Equality Fitness isn’t just a training service—they’ve become peers, friends, confidants, and yes, workout partners for our son. Their impact on his confidence, happiness, and overall wellbeing has been immeasurable.

We highly recommend Equality Fitness to anyone looking not just for at-home physical training, but for a deeply caring, community-minded support system.
