Welcome to Oasis Training! My name is Colleen, and I'm excited to share how I can help you achieve your fitness goals. With over 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, I started my career in the computer industry in 1990. I later transitioned into the fitness industry after a horseback riding accident led me to extensive physiotherapy.

From 1990 to 2004, I worked as a writer and computer instructor, teaching Microsoft Certification Courses all over BC and Nunavut. After the accident, I pursued a career as a Certified Personal Trainer, obtaining my certifications from Douglas College Sport-Sciences. I opened my first gym in 2004 and grew the business to 3 locations with 12 trainers and staff in the Tri-City area by 2012.

Despite facing challenges, including closing all my gyms in 2012, I persevered. In 2014, I established Oasis Training for athletes, injured individuals, and those dealing with aging or weight issues to receive intensive training. As a trauma-informed trainer, I specialize in working with frontline workers, military personnel, and injured extreme athletes.

At Oasis Training, we prioritize building deep relationships with clients and the community through mentorship, education, and volunteering. We believe in providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their potential. Our approach involves setting goals, creating action plans, and celebrating milestones on the path to success for everyone.

In addition to training, I also serve as the Nomination Policy Advisor for the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame, where I ensure a transparent and fair process to honour individuals in the snowsport industry in Canada.

My passion is helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals. I look forward to being a part of your success journey. If you want to learn more, please visit our website for testimonials.

Eat Well. Sleep Well. Train Well.
