Lisa Armstrong

I have spent most of my life cultivating and preparing myself in the field of health and nutrition. I am a 2007 graduate of the Physical Health and Education program at Queen's University, and upon finishing my degree I was hired by Queens as the head personal trainer and nutrition consultant. This role consisted of conducting fitness and nutrition consultations, planning individualized training programs, instructing group fitness classes for Queen's faculty members, leading outdoor bootcamps, managing the seniors "Fit for Life" program as well developing and implementing new fitness programs for the Queen's Recreation and Athletics Department. I worked happily in this position for a year and a half, until I transferred into the Applied Human Nutrition program at the University of Guelph to further my learning in the context of human health. Throughout this undergraduate nutrition degree, I taught several classes a week in my spare time at the Guelph Athletic Club, such as Innovative Interval, BOSU athletic conditioning, Interval Box and the occasional spin class. I am currently completing my Masters of Nutrition at the University of Guelph and continue to teach a variety of classes on a regular basis. This past summer I created my own business through the "Summer Company Entrepreneur Program" where I developed and advertised my own summer company. I provided individualized services to help clients improve their lifestyle by offering a wide variety of programs in including exercise programs, bootcamps in the park, in-home personal training and nutritional guidance. I am an innovative, positive and energetic young professional looking for unique opportunities to share my fitness passion around the world! I am very organized and have excellent time management skills. My education and past work experiences have given me the opportunity to teach fitness in diverse settings with unique populations, and I am confident that I possess the traits necessary to promote and lead challenging but fun fitness classes for active individuals on vacation (looking to squeeze in a few good workouts while they are away)! Thank for your consideration, I look forward to your response!
