“Boot camp class:
Tanya exhibits exceptional knowledge, motivating participants with a dynamic teaching style. Her clear communication, personalized feedback, and ability to create a supportive atmosphere makes the experience effective and enjoyable. Her varied routines are catered to all fitness levels. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a results-driven fitness program. ”

“Tanya Jones worked with me to develop and implement a training and racing nutritional plan. She reviewed my current diet, gently identified the gaps and deficiencies, and provided my with a nutritional plan that ensured I had sufficient fueling for my marathon training.

Tanya is a very knowledgeable expert in both nutrition and endurance sports. I feel lucky to have connected with her. Her knowledge is second to none and I recommend her to anyone and any stage in their training, however it’s probably best to engage with her as early as possible.

She also provided me with a plan with race week recommendations and a race day plan that eliminated any anxiety I had in this area.”

“There are so many reasons why I think you are a great coach. As a novice Triathlete I wasn’t sure where to start. You took my through the training, the warm ups and stretching, the nutrition, the Tri Camps and the races. You did it in a professional yet caring way so I always felt supported. You worked with my injury and helped me go from not running to completing the Ironman. You are a major reason why I was successful.

Thank you for your excellent coaching, always present support and caring. I could not have do it without you. I’ll borrowed the following words from another one of my fellow trainees, “You are the whole package!”

“The Covid-19 lifestyle that has been thrust upon us all made working out by myself hazardous during my recovery from a MVA.

I contacted Tanya, did the necessary Par-Q’s and sent her a picture of my mediocre equipment in my small condo. Working out virtually with Tanya has been great. Using a social media app and my iPad, I have her set on a small table where she can see my full body on the matt or standing. I sweat just the same as when I am with her, she modifies things that don’t work for me after receiving feedback from me via text or email. The isolation has not really made a difference in the quality of the workouts I have always received from Tanya. I still feel safe with her guide and my body awareness. I also feel like I will keep making babysteps back to strong physical health instead of slowly declining during the isolation period. Thank you Tanya!”

“I originally approached Tanya because I saw how much fun my friend was having training with her... and now I don’t know what I’d do without her! Tanya has helped me get back into the groove of running, racing, and weight training. She has customized my programs through several injuries and life changes - always ensuring the best possible outcome for me! Tanya is a great listener, has a great response time when you need her, and is hella supportive”

“Tanya is a coaches coach. If your looking for training and help with your event, Tanya sure can help. Tanya also can bring to the table what you really are looking for, guidance and support. I’ve had a few coaches for different events I’ve done over time, no one helped prepare me for the mentally tough parts of the events the way Tanya has. Training is the physical part of a event, but not a lot of coaches want to spend the time or effort to check that mentally you are prepared for your event. I know for a fact Tanya is always improving her Craft, through courses, training camps and she studies her art, all to benefit the athletes she works with. I really believe if Tanya ever stood still she would fall over, her continuous movement mentality and physically will be the reward of any future athletes.”

“I brought my teenage daughter, who has never been very excited about exercise, to Tanya for personal training. I was hoping that, with some guidance, my daughter could learn to appreciate physical fitness. And wow, Tanya has really motivated and inspired her. My daughter has grown so strong and fit. And she really enjoys and looks forward to her workouts. Training with Tanya has been a wonderfully empowering experience. ”

“Tanya is a high quality sport coach. She is competent, personable and professional. She knows how to assess a client’s fitness, and develops a program that allow the client to progress. She motivates and challenges her clients to improve their fitness.”

“I have been a client of Tanya’s since the fall of 2013. Her infectious, positive energy keeps you motivated. Don’t be fooled by her deceptively easygoing personality; before you know it, she has you working harder than you thought you could! Tanya really listens and tailors your workouts to achieve your goals within your schedule and time that you have available for training. Her workouts are challenging, creative and enjoyable. I am so lucky to have been introduced to Tanya; her support and encouragement is invaluable and I can’t imagine working with any other trainer!

I would wholeheartedly recommend her anyone who is interested in improving their fitness, achieving their goals and living a healthier lifestyle!”

“I can highly recommend Tanya Jones as coach and personal trainer.

Tanya has been my triathlon coach over the past year and has taken me from barely running 5 miles to qualifying in my age group (60-64 years old) for the national triathlon long distance world championships. We worked closely together on my training plan and I’ve gotten to know her well. When my colleagues at work saw the change in me they were enthusiastic about doing circuit training with Tanya at our worksite. Tanya set up a 12-week boot camp challenge for my office. My colleagues are all women ranging in age from 40 to 60 years and with varying goals from enhancing sport performance to just feeling better. Twice a week we convert our patient waiting area in to our personal gym. Tanya brings a range of equipment for each “station” then directs us on the movement goal for the station. Tanya understands each exercise and the reasons to include it or modify it for each person. She has a sound knowledge of training and fitness and she is passionate about safe, effective technique.

Tanya likes data! She recorded our pre-workout abilities on certain exercises to get a baseline which we will perform again this week for comparison. The workouts are tough but fun with Tanya’s good humor and support. My colleagues come to the workout even on their days off because they “don’t want to miss a workout”. Needless to say you can image the team building effect this has had on our office.

Tanya is well respected , reliable, knowledgeable and always working on increasing her skills as a mentor, coach and trainer.

“Tanya has been training my family members and I since May 2016.
Tanya has a friendly and personable demeanor and always conducts herself in a professional manner. From working with my family members (ages 22-75) it is evident that Tanya has the ability to effectively work with many types of personalities, age groups and fitness levels. Tanya is currently training three generations in our house with varying physical capabilities.
Each one of us is at a different physical fitness level and has different goals that we are working towards. However, this seems to pose little challenge for Tanya as she is able to tailor her exercises for each individual and has been a great support system in helping us achieve our goals. Some of us have had surgeries and reoccurring back problems and Tanya has always been able to modify exercises on the spot to enable us to work out without injuring ourselves.
Tanya is the type of individual who goes above and beyond. For example, my youngest daughter who trained with us over the summer recently moved to Victoria. Yet, Tanya continues to provide her with support by emailing her customized work out plans and providing nutrition information and support. This demonstrates Tanya’s willingness to help others achieve their goals, even if it means going the extra mile.
My family members and I are very pleased with Tanya’s capabilities, knowledge and work ethic. The fact she arrives at our house consistently on time for 5:30 am work outs to accommodate my family’s needs proves her commitment and discipline.
I would recommend Tanya for any endeavor that she wishes to pursue as I know her work ethic and determination will enable her to achieve her goals and excel. ”

“Tanya has been our family trainer for the past two years. During our sessions she has the task of training up to all six family members (wife and I, three daughters and my son). Our ages differ by thirty-seven years and our abilities and fitness levels are also wide ranging. Despite this Tanya has been able to effectively plan and execute a comprehensive, integrated system of training so we get the most from our sessions whether it be weight training or cardio focused.

Tanya is very knowledgeable about the human body and kinetics and offers valuable information regarding injury assessment and exercise and healing strategies for areas that may be of concern.

She is positive, enthusiastic and genuine person and this makes her a strong motivator. She has and still does play a vital role in the rehabilitation of my Son who is recovering from cancer in 2015 and we are grateful to have her as our family trainer.”

“Tanya is a rare trainer who is thoroughly knowledgable in body mechanics and rehabilitation and is easily approachable and clear in her explanations. It is evident that I am not just a number, she genuinely cares about how I am doing. I appreciate her check ins and willingness to make changes to my program for me in between sessions. I have had a tremendous amount of injuries and am confident that her program continues to help me get healthy and strong.”

“Tanya was my coach for my second Ironman and I would not hesitate for a SECOND to work with her again. Tanya is the quintessential coach – knowledgeable, well rounded, flexible and caring. Tanya coaches you to be your best for YOU and not to reflect well on her coaching skill (which it does anyway) She is incredibly supportive and understanding. She will work you hard, but it will pay off in the end. She is also a great role model and an amazing athlete that always has a smile on her face and a supportive word. I will never forget when she drove up to Whistler to see her athletes finish even after coaching all day. I cannot say enough positive stuff about Tanya and would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“I hired Tanya to be my triathlon coach in preparation for my first Half Ironman race. She prepared me in every way possible: workouts were sent and monitored via Training Peaks, she helped me dial in my race nutrition, she accompanied me on lake swims, rides, we practiced transitions, she monitored my progress and adjusted workouts accordingly. She was always professional, friendly, encouraging, positive, and I would highly recommend her to anyone embarking on triathlon from the sprint distance right up to Ironman distance. She has the years of experience and knowledge, as well as the certifications.”

“I have been working with Tanya Jones for the past two years and have found
her insight to be extremely valuable both from a rehabilitation viewpoint as
well as from a personal growth perspective. Tanya quickly ascertained the
best method of communication with me so we were able to tackle both physical
and mindset challenges in a timely manner. Tanya’s positive attitude is
contagious and her belief in my success was instrumental in breaking through
barriers, allowing me to reach my goals while helping me to eliminate
stressors that previously would have stopped any forward momentum. Thank
you, Tanya for your knowledge, expertise, and life transforming perspective.
”

“Tanya has the ability to customize her coaching style and training programs to specifically meet individual needs. She coaches athletes of all levels and as a beginner she made me feel like my training and goals were just as important to her personally, as any of her other athletes.”

“If you are looking for a coach for any distance or a coach who can help you achieve your fitness goals, I would strongly recommend you call Tanya and set up an appointment. I have already hired her for 2015 season.
I believe Tanya is one of the best new coaches out there and her care and concern for her athletes is second to none.”

“Tanya has been working with me to improve my fitness level. She has worked out a program that suits me well without being too strenuous (for my age :) ) and I enjoy it. She has a high standard for her clients, is strict but not overbearing. She wants the best for me and her clients and shows it with great integrity and skill. I would recommend her at any time to anyone who wants to improve physical fitness”
