As a part of our effort to provide a diverse array of wellness home care services, we have recently partnered with Penny Stratas. Penny is a personal trainer with experience training older adults and will serve our North Vancouver and West Vancouver clients. Welcome aboard Penny! Below is her biography…
With over 35 years in the fitness industry, Penny Stratas is the owner of “Now’s the Time Fitness and Coaching” – a personal training practice based on a commitment to informed, supportive guidance to her clients. Her philosophy is to encourage lifelong fitness, a ‘healthy body/healthy mind’ approach with emphasis on regular exercise, sound nutrition and balanced lifestyle choices.
As a fitness instructor first in Ottawa and, since 1999, in North and West Vancouver, she is BCRPA certified in Group Fitness, Weight Training and Personal Training. She has extensive additional training, including specialized training with seniors – the Third Age population.
A talented presenter on fitness, nutrition, balance and fitness for healthy aging, Penny has presented to “Eldercollege” at Capilano University and at the Mollie Nye Seniors Centre in Lynn Valley. Presentations on “Walking for Fitness” and “Mindful Eating” are scheduled for Fall 2011 at the West Vancouver Seniors Centre.
Penny has volunteered with the Vancouver Sun Run “Learn to Run” and “Walk 10K” clinics since arriving in BC in 1999 and particularly likes engaging novices of all ages.
