“Our instructor provided a class suited for men and women.  We also like that he was changing his routine and sometimes adds yoga to stretch.  He also listened to people’s needs, body pains, etc.  He was friendly and tough at the same time, and he pushed the ones in better shape and explained more to the (those who needed it).”

Trina is already getting accolades for her new venture:

“If you ever meet Trina, you probably will remember her not just by the energy she brings in to a room, but also the enthusiasm that she has towards her job.

“I had always prided myself for being in shape, for being active and fit. I’ve run half marathons, biked 100 miles, and mountain biked in the mountains. As a student, I had always found it easy to find time to work out. But now, as a working professional, I find it harder to find the time, and the time I have, I really want to make it count. It was once said that “When people don’t have an objective, there is much less dynamic effort, and that makes life a lot less interesting”. Train by Trina has given me that objective, and has made all my workouts count much further. I feel fitter, stronger and more motivated to work hard. Being on a personalized training program has helped me to focus my goals not only athletically, but also by helping me to incorporate working out into my busy schedule. Thank you, Train by Trina and my trainer Bisa Dobson, for making working out a lot more interesting!”Angela Lin
“One of the best things I ever did was to contact Trina about getting a personal trainer. I had been thinking about it for a long time, but didn’t know how to find someone to suit my needs. Enter “Train by Trina”! From our first conversation, I knew I had come to the right place. Trina set up an appointment with me, assessed my fitness level, listened to my requirements and concerns, and then put me in touch with my trainer. This experience has exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Trina! You’re doing a great job and I am delighted that I got in touch with you and got back on the road to fitness.”Irene Krestell
“In my day-to-day life, no one really takes Health and Fitness seriously – No one works out, no one eats healthy and no one even CARES about those things. Without you in my life, it would be real easy to fall into that too. Since I’ve been working out with you, my daughter has started to work out and she has her own ‘routine’ – so you’ve helped me be a better parent too by setting a good example. Thank you Trina”Hard Working MOM
“Trina is an inspiration. She looks absolutely amazing so, you feel inspired while hating her at the same time! She has such a wonderful and positive attitude and makes the dreaded task of working out fun. Her custom programs are easy to follow and you see results. She is committed to her clients and has a sense of humor which is so important on the days you don’t feel like training!”Donna Lidster

“After training with Trina for four months, I have better strength, tone, flexibility and posture. Trina’s national ranking as a cyclist is evident in the drive and discipline she incorporates in my training program, yet her background as a Registered Massage Therapist means she is very sensitive to injuries I’ve had in the past. Trina is all about research: at the beginning of winter, she modified my training to make me ready for the ski slopes and when I told her about my goal of a first triathlon, she emailed me info on races in my area and ideas to improve my swimming. Her fun spirit and positive energy make training with her inspiring.”Sybil Taylor,
