Personal Trainer - Lynne Labelle-Hickey

This summer I enrolled in boot-camp and let me tell you…it was GREAT!  WOW…what a workout!  Actually, it was just like on t.v. — you know like “the last 10 pounds boot-camp” or “X-Weighted”.  It was crazy.  Our trainer/coach was Lynne Labelle-Hickey, a personal trainer in Sudbury, Ontario. 

Her confidence and physical ability enabled her to coach a large group of people (amateurs and athletes) into lean, mean machines.  In the beginning of the boot-camp, many people were only able to do 1-10 push-ups and after 5 weeks, increased their starting amount by 5-10 push-ups.  This simply goes to show how a good workout twice a week can help you build muscle, strength and lose weight. 

My favourite part of the boot-camp was all the great “gadgets” she had.  We flipped a tire, jumped in and out of a canvas ladder (flat on the ground of course), jumped over these crazy looking metal things, she even had a 12 pound ball with handles on it!  The variety was amazing.  Every week was different, therefore there was no time to get bored!  Lynne led us in a great warm-up and then set us up in stations, followed us through them, came around to each person to either spot or encourage and then she led us in a great cool down which incorporated core exercises and yoga.  All this in 1 hour, twice a week! 

Check out our bootcamp video where Lynne kicks my butt before the rest of the ladies show up!  It’s CRAZY!!!

 

If you have the chance to take up boot-camp in your area, I strongly recommend it and you’re from Sudbury, give Lynne a call at the Health Coach Clinic on Paris Street - 705-674-9111.

Below is more information about Lynne.  I also just want to point out all of her experience.  This is very important when you are looking for a personal trainer/coach.  You want to make sure that before you hire a trainer/coach, you check out the person’s credentials and experience to ensure that you can trust your them and trust that you will not injure yourself due to their lack of knowledge or experience.  Also, please remember to check with a health care practitioner before engaging in any physical activity.
