“I had the pleasure of working with Carol-Ann Cook, who was my personal trainer, for five and one-half years following knee-replacement surgery and subsequently hip replacement surgery. My recovery has been virtually complete to the extent that I can now walk the golf course normally and pain free.  Carol-Ann is very intuitive and understands that we all have limits which we can’t exceed. She is fun to work with and has an infectious laugh. She is a very experienced senior trainer who is always thinking of her client’s needs.  I recommend Carol-Ann to anyone who needs a personal trainer but also to any organization which may be interested in employing her.”

“Warren Scott is a trainer who thinks outside the box.  He creates specialized programs that get me ready for outdoor adventures, like mountain climbing. And along the way he helped me drop thirty pounds too. Warren’s workouts can be real killers. Some days I think that I must be nuts to train with him. But I keep coming back every week now for four years.”

Warren’s positive approach to training has been nothing short of awesome for me.”

The programs combine conditioning, agility, balance and flexibility.  When I sail at winter regattas the ongoing training allows me to step on the boat in the same shape as at the end of the summer.  Warren very quickly understands what the sport requires and designs fun and interesting exercises which directly improve my performance."
