Julia O’Donoghue

Personal Trainer

Julia has been a CanFitPro certified personal trainer for 8 years and has worked in the fitness industry for over a decade. Originally from Montreal, Julia's interest in movement was sparked while studying professional theatre at Dawson College. 

Julia started her career being mentored in a private gym that heavily focused on strength and condition. Over the years however, she has moved towards focusing on mobility,  calisthenics, and intuitive movement.

Kirsty Exner

Physiotherapist and Personal Trainer

Kirsty has been working as a physiotherapist for over 15 years, and prior to that, she worked as a personal trainer for nearly 10 years which gave her a very solid foundation on which to build her physiotherapy practice on. She worked in various clinical settings in Vancouver and then moved back to Rossland BC where she has been operating her own business, “Kirsty Exner Physiotherapy” for the past 8 years.

With 25 years of personal and professional experience in sports conditioning training, physical rehab, ski coaching, and a competitive sporting background, Kirsty offers a comprehensive and dynamic program that encompassing all that she has learned. 

“As a ski coach with a physiotherapy background, I see the muscle imbalances and structural issues clients have as it comes out in their skiing and limits their ability to perform a certain ski skill or drill. Having the time to assess for these inefficiencies and then balance them in a dryland clinic setting before getting on snow, is an invaluable and rare service to be able to take advantage of. It will give clients more resilience and therefore, less risk of injury setting up their season for success.”
