é-quivalence
Training for just you and only you.
Personal training is personal.
Work and family with no time to workout? Recovering from an Injury? Menopause making your fitness difficult?
I don't work in generalities. I work with and for you.
If you have only 30 minutes a day, or 30 minutes in a week, if you are recovering from an injury, if body changes due to age are getting to you, if what always worked isn't working anymore I can help.
Why é-quivalence?
I like this word, it is the condition of being equal or equivalent in value. For your fitness it means my fitness programs are equal to your goals, your lifestyle. your body.
I help you work for sustainable and balanced change.
No more crash diets with tons of restrictions, no more workout routines that worked well but now they don't because you have changed, your life has changed.
That's why equivalence is more sensible than balance.
Balance, equilibrium isn't possible in your fitness lifetime because life isn't static.
We have kids that need us, sickness in the family, job changes, injuries, metabolic changes, end of the month stress, relationship problems...you get the idea. The scale always swings between our individual needs, our responsibilities and our jobs.
In short, I adapt your programs to you- your fitness program is unique to you and what you are living right now. It is equal to the time and energy you can give at this moment for change in your life.
About Me: AC
I am a working mom of two teenage boys and a dog. They all keep me on my toes. I have been in and out of shape like most humans. I know personally how challenging it can be to start moving again. So no worries, from me you will get support, encouragement and understanding. I had started my personal training and coaching with CrossFit Leman for 6 years, and delved into nutrition with a Level 2 PN Masters and have since started e-quivalence. love seeing my clients progress and change their mindset, and they now train in ways that are sustainable. I'd love to share with you what I have learned working with them.
My Programs
First Evaluation and Assessment
I will spend about 45 minutes getting to know about your nutrition and sleeping habits, setting some realistic goals with you and assessing your movement patterns and general mobility. Based on your results, you will then receive an assessment video outlining your program. This will include what mobility and stretching routines you should incorporate in your day.
Nutrition Weekly Check-Ins
Using the application PT Distinction, I will observe your nutrition. With this app you can use MyFitness Pal or take photos of your meals. I monitor them weekly and give you written feedback to keep you motivated and on-track with your fitness goals!
Nutrition Package
You and I will work on changing your nutrition in-line with your goals but doing it in a way that works for you! In general, you will give me all the data you can on what you eat (there are several ways to do this), how you feel about it and if the both of us feel that there is a need to change we implement it in a reasonable, realistic way. I highly recommend that you plan on working with me for at least 3 months to get effective change.
BASIC On-Line Program Package
Using the application PT Distinction, I will give you programmed workouts to do each week that is specifically designed for you. Included in them is a warmup, cool down and mobility exercises specific to your body. You also will receive a weekly 20 min call from me to check in.

Nutrition & Fitness Programming
You get both the online mentor programming and nutritional support as described above. Combining the two means daily monitoring of your nutrition, weekly conversations and daily check ins for your nutrition and workouts! I work with you on making sure you are happy with yourself every time you eat. and having the workouts designed basically by you due to your feedback and my accessibility. This ensures that you will never get bored, I will be there when you do, and we monitor together your process to achieve your goal. That includes making certain you don’t over train and that we monitor closely your body and take care of it properly.

Code of Ethics
Vision and Mission
e-quivalence seeks to create a welcoming and safe space so that clients can accomplish their fitness goals. The fitness programs implemented are evidence based and tailored exactly to a client’s needs and wishes. In sum, the core values of e-quivalence focus on you the client and the collaboration we will have together.
Core Values
Collaboration: I can not attain your fitness goals, without you. You have come to e-quivalence motivated and willing. That’s why one of my core values is collaboration. You have come her for a tailored fitness and nutrition program. I will work for honest and open communication with you to promote your change.
Integrity: Although fitness programs are similar in their general outlines, I will never propose a program or a way of eating as the definitive way. My sense of integrity is based on solution-based thinking and humility. I don’t have the ultimate answer, no one does in fitness but I will work with you until we find yours.
Honesty: I believe that truth can be blunt, abrupt, and emotionally tough to hear. But I don’t know any other way to success. If I don’t know something I will tell you, if I think something isn’t working or is unsafe; if we aren’t going in the direction you told me you wanted to go, I will tell you.
After so many years of coaching, I will say this it’s never just about eating right and exercising.
Workplace safety and health
Attentiveness: I am always attentive to the work performed by my clients, to reduce risk and ensure the proper execution of the exercises.
I am, furthermore, extremely focused on knowing the health condition of my client and what they are physically capable of on a day of training and will adjust the program as I see fit.
Equipment: I will ensure that all equipment is used in a safe and correct manner and meets up to standards of safety, maintenance, and performance.
Confidentiality and Privacy
My client’s privacy will be protected. I will not give out personal information about my clients to the public, or about their condition or treatment to anyone without their permission. Nor will I post any photos of them on social media without written permission.
Working Methodology:
No Harm
All my decisions, actions and words related to the prescription of physical exercise and your physical assessment are based on the principle of doing no harm and are evidence based. Furthermore, I am morally and professionally obliged to advise within my scope and will refer to a medical professional when I am out of it.
Professional Scope
My programs and suggestions are based on my professional competences and in no way can I prescribe medication, psychoanalysis, nutritional supplements and or make a medical diagnosis.
Consent
I proceed with planned work based on my client’s consent. This is fundamental to creating a partnership with my clients.
CPR/AED
As a personal trainer I can give first aid when necessary and my certification in CPR/AED is up to date.
Gym Hygiene
I regularly disinfect and clean all working surfaces daily. Furthermore, if I believe I am infected with a virus or other serious infectious agents that might be communicated to clients, I will make sure they are aware of this and take the steps necessary to avoid any possibility (cancelling, wearing an FSP mask, maintaining a social distance).
Billing and transparency
Bills to my clients will reflect appropriate charges and based on services provided. Before commencing work together, my clients will be aware and agree upon what services I will be offering, the costs and when bills are sent.
Environmental stewardship
As far as possible, I attempt to work and live with the smallest carbon footprint possible. There is still much to improve on, and any suggestions are welcome.
