Goal: summit Kilimanjaro

Training with Mylene for my climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro was the best thing I did to prepare myself. In a situation where altitude sickness, sleep deprivation and exhaustion came into play, I felt great knowing I had the physical strength and endurance to overcome these difficulties and could face each day with confidence and energy.

Mylene has been by three-times-a-week trainer. At 67 I didn’t think I could jump a rope, lift a 1000-pound dumbbell or stand on one foot on top of a wobbly rubber thing. And yet I can – and I look forward to it each and every time (that’s a tiny white lie, but don’t tell M). She’s very good at what she does and loves counting past 12 (“just give me three more”). If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be out there rain or shine, moaning and sweating – and feeling more and more like the former governor of California with every day. For that I am grateful – and so is my cardiologist and my girlfriend.

Goal: stand-up paddle board conditioning

I started training with Equilibrium because I had a goal of competing in stand-up paddle board races and I knew I had to improve my stamina and strength.  After a very short period of time training with Mylene, I already started seeing results.   Mylene designed an impressive gym workout that totally replicated all the stand-up paddle movements and allowed me to condition my body for the sport, even when I wasn't in the water.  My workouts were varied, fun and challenging.  They sure have proven their effectiveness when I finished 3rd in Victoria and Comox races and 1st in my age category for the "Paddle Around The Rock", a 21-mile race around Mercer Island in Seattle.  I couldn't have done it without Mylene's precious expertise and guidance.  I highly recommend Equilibrium to anybody wanting to have... just a little more fun out there!

Goal: Golf Conditioning

After undergoing cervical disc surgery and fusion in 2003 I was unable to swing a golf club for over three years……so disappointing when golf had been the major activity that my husband and I shared. Working with Mylene as my personal trainer for the past three and a half years has helped me to deal with chronic pain and my fitness goals in a way that I could not have ever foreseen! Now I am back golfing eighteen holes and my game is almost where it was prior to the surgery. I credit Mylene’s expertise, patience and positive energy with my return to the game I love. Mylene has pushed me to go to my limits while maintaining respect for the ongoing reality of chronic pain and the possibility of flare-ups. Mylene’s enthusiasm and new ideas always make workout sessions fun. I feel very fortunate to work with Mylene – her encouragement, her optimistic attitude as well as her detailed knowledge are invaluable!

Goal: weight loss & strength

I just wanted to let you know how much good your program is doing for me.  I feel so energetic, I am running the stairs and bouncing around like a puppy on caffeine.  My mind is clear, I sleep like a log and handle the stress every day.  I am still the King of Everything.  Its still difficult to make time to exercise but its worth it.

Goal: weight loss / general health

I started working out with Mylene of Equilibrium Fitness four years ago when my fitness level was in a big slump. I was bored of my gym workout that didn't change or give me the results I was looking for. When I started working out with Mylene we discussed what my fitness goals were and what type of program I would like. She has surpassed my expectations! My workouts are always challenging, interesting, fun, exciting and of course give me great results in my fitness and weight loss plan. Mylene's program's challenge my brain as well as my body. Just as my body and brain have started to get used to a workout, she changes it up! Always keeping it interesting and fun! Mylene's training style is a balance of slightly pushing me out of my comfort zone (when I need it) and easing back when I've been injuryed or phsyically challenged. She is great at reading your body, mood and strength for that day. I would highly recommed Mylene as a trainer, she has done amazing things for my health and fitness level!

Age: 61
Goal: general health / golf conditioning

I turned 61 this year and for the first time I started to feel my age. I have always been strong and healthy and the program that I have followed with Mylene is helping me to regain that strong healthy feeling once again. She is a great health instructor and she is teaching my wife and I how to become and stay fit. What is even more important, I am seeing the benefits of increased strength and flexibility in my golf game.

Goal: general health

My biggest accomplishment in participating in Equilibrium training program is that I fell in love with working out! It is really nothing like what you think, even in undesirable weather, I have fun. I would challenge you to come with me, just once, and see what Equilibrium can do for you. Mylene is helping me not only with the workouts outdoors but with food portions and at home tips to get fit. I absolutely love this type of training.

Mylene is a great motivator, who makes you feel like even small fitness goals are worthwhile. She's always enthusiastic about getting outside and doing something active; one of my favourite moments during the teacher strike was when she gathered us all up on an impromptu workout while we were walking the picket line. We got some funny looks from passing motorists, but it showed me that you can take time here and there for fitness - it doesn't have to be complicated to feel good.

I have gained a sense of my capacity and regained a sense that I can increase muscle strength. It just took some non-judgmental support, which Mylene provides, and having someone with enough knowledge and flexibility to suggest alternatives. Thank you for taking the time to patiently guide me to increase my awareness in which muscles to focus on. You are a miracle in my life.  Your guidance, your expertise, your patience and your beautiful spirit have changed my life.  I have my life back!  With gratitude.  Delaney.
