“The whole team is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Rachel worked very hard to accommodate my schedule and took a holistic approach to my needs. As an aging athlete, it helped that her approach factored in my own personal strengths and weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. As an added benefit, navigating training through COVID was done with the utmost care and personal respect.”

- Shu Sanatani, Pediatric Cardiologist, BC Children’s Hospital

“Three words to describe Integrated Fitness: care, quality and expertise. The team at Integrated Fitness have been integral in my journey towards a healthier lifestyle. They deeply care about my progress, health and habits. Their facility is clean, well organised and ventilated for a stress-free workout. They push me during the workout yet respect my boundaries at the same time. They are incredibly attentive and pay close attention to details in each movement. I feel incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon this studio. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a personal trainer to live a healthier lifestyle.”

- Michael Uy, CEO Oakwyn Realty

“Working with Rachel and Billy has been fantastic. They are knowledgable, engaging and clearly have a passion for what they do. The Integrated Fitness studio space feels safe and inviting and equipment is excellent. I am looking forward to healthy, long lasting results!”

- Laura Hume, Family Physician

“I'm really grateful to have started training with Rachel, Billy and JC in December 2021. I was exercising a lot but rarely did any strength/resistance training. Although deep down I knew it was an integral part of my fitness, I just ignored it (as most people are prone to do!) When I signed up for my first full marathon and decided I would need help with strength/resistance training so I reached out and the rest (as they say) is history! Instead of just one trainer, I feel like I have an all-star team helping me achieve my goals and I'm learning a lot about all sorts of different things (eg. technique/form/function/exercise science) from each. I've experience actual marked, measured improvements in everything from my body mass, skeletal muscle mass, VO2max and lactate threshold. I would definitely recommend the Integrated Fitness team to anyone looking for help in achieving their health and fitness goals!”

- Jonathan Ma, Business Development Manager, C&O Apparel Inc.

“I highly recommend Integrated Fitness. My trainer Rachel has helped me reach goals I didn’t think were possible. She has also given me the tools and confidence to be able to do the workouts even when I’m on my own. I still have some way to go before I reach my goal, but I now know that it’s possible without the training and knowledge I’ve gained from working out with Integrated Fitness.”

— Amber Truesdell, Mum of Two

“Integrated Fitness has been supportive and consistent throughout the six months we've been a client. JC is an excellent trainer and our thrice weekly sessions for us (a couple in our late 50s and early 60s) are always innovative, challenging and appropriate to our fitness goals and abilities. Rachel is flexible and accommodates time and schedule changes to fit our unpredictable calendar - supplying us with additional trainers to fill in - a big shout out to Billy! The cleanliness and comprehensively equipped studio is a pleasure to train in. The added Peloton time I book weekly adds to the cardio portion of my fitness regime. We are beyond pleased and look forward to a long relationship.”

— Suzanne Perry and Georg Albrecht, Retired

“Integrated Fitness is a pleasure to train with. I have very specific goals I want to achieve - I want to have functional core strength, good balance, and I want to be able to do a pull up. I have been training with Integrated Fitness twice a week for 2 months and a I'm seeing greater balance while riding my bike and running. I can also see myself getting closer and closer to doing a pull up and that is very exciting.  The trainers at Integrated Fitness push you to achieve what you want and they explain why they choose particular exercises. In short, they make me a smarter gymer! I feel great after each training session and I look forward to the next one every time I’m done.”

— Juhi Jaferii, Software Designer

“I am a person about to turn 60 with chronic back pain due to a bicycle accident a decade ago. I also harbour the aches and pains of somewhat beat up knees and truly wonky ankles from endless twists and turns in the sports I played growing up. Over the last number of years, I have struggled to create and maintain a consistent and beneficial exercise routine. Once I engaged Integrated Fitness, success in terms of both my exercise consistency and quality took off. They create fun and challenging workouts that support me in achieving my exercise goals while at the same time relieving the unhealthy pain I carry in my body. It’s a gift how Rachel is able to find just the right set of exercises and intensities for each individual workout as it supports my longer term goals. I feel like my inner athlete is reawakened and I am on my way to adding new challenges to my fitness hopes and dreams. I fully and without hesitation recommend Integrated Fitness!”

— David Vickars, IT Management Consultant

“I have known Rachel Nelson for the better part of 15 years and, having trained with her for numerous marathons and ultramarathons, I have witnessed first hand her incredible dedication to excellence, her drive, her perseverance and her discipline. When I suffered a severe injury that required surgery, I could think of no better person than Rachel, with her tremendous skill set and experience, to help me craft a well-thought-out, sensible and practical rehabilitation program. And she does all this with a wonderful sense of humour, compassion and enormous personal warmth. I can't recommend her and Integrated Fitness highly enough.”

— Vince Hemingson, Photographer

“​Integrated Fitness has a lovely space for a personalized workout with a trainer. I always eagerly look forward to my sessions. Rachel is very professional and checks on you every month to see the progress or address any concerns. I would highly recommend Integrated Fitness to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals with help from a qualified, knowledgeable trainer.”

— Siddharth Boobna, Software Engineer

“Thank you so much Rachel and Integrated Fitness for making me feel so beautiful and healthy from the inside out. Thanks to you, I look better and feel AMAZING. As someone who has always been a bit 'soft', it's surreal seeing definition in my arms and my abs. I would not have looked as amazing as I did on my wedding day without the force, motivation and support you gave me at our workouts leading up to my big day! Forever grateful.”

— Hayley Bridger (Hudson), Digital Media Specialist

“​I love the team at Integrated Fitness. I have been extremely challenged, physically and emotionally, since undergoing spinal surgery to remove a tumour in my back. This resulted in some major nerve damage to both legs, particularly on my left side, leaving me with very limited mobility. In just six months, I have regained some strength and motion in both legs and my upper body. Rachel and Billy have been extremely encouraging, and together with her incredible knowledge and patience, they has given me a new lease on life.”

— Trish Keating, Retired Costume Designer

“Rachel's patience and warmth go a long way to making workouts relaxed and enjoyable and health goals feel attainable. I especially appreciated her care in assessing all aspects of my fitness, from flexibility to trouble spots, before we got going.”

— Daniel Maté, Composer and Playwright

“​Thank you so much to Integrated Fitness for getting me back into fitness and exercise. It had been years since I had regularly exercised and I now look forward to my sessions every week! I initially went to Integrated Fitness to get in shape for my wedding but it has done so much more for my mental and physical health. I am extremely happy with my progress and Rachel has been amazing at keeping me excited and motivated to exercise!”

— Emily Sapsford, Project Engineer, Fisheries and Oceans Canada

“​I am a relatively new client to Integrated Fitness and had just settled into a once a week guided session at the gym in our building when the COVID-19 pandemic closed the facility and, with it, our sessions.  I look forward to the time when I can resume this.  It provided not only a solid weekly workout, but guidance and incentive for additional exercising during the week. My trainer was knowledgeable and took care to ensure that I was doing the right exercises with the right form. A solid service and well worth the cost.”

— Tanner Elton, Lawyer

“​In August 2020 I started working out with Integrated Fitness after no workouts in years. I never thought I would have such great results. In 14 months, I have gained strength and balance, increased energy, corrected my posture and had wonderful weight loss: 18 pounds!! Rachel is very attentive, observant and professional. She is also very friendly and always positive and encouraging.”
