Zoe burns

Trainer

I am a graduate with honours from the Algonquin College Health and Fitness Promotion Program, and am super passionate about helping others reach their goals, enjoy their fitness journey, and live their best life! While playing on my high school Rugby team I realized how passionate I was about weight training and it quickly became a big part of my life. Other than being in the gym, I love creating healthy recipes, shopping at a local health food store, and having fun being active outdoors. Along with being a Certified Personal Trainer with experience in several different areas, I am also a Certified Nutrition Coach. I am really excited to meet all the Carleton Place Anytime Fitness members and I can’t wait to help you along on your fitness journey

I love exercising to improve my overall fitness but also to clear my head and feel good mentally. It is my happy place. Training people and sharing my knowledge and love of fitness is such an amazing feeling. I love helping people reach their goals! Another passion of mine is playing and watching hockey. I graduated from Chatham University in Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I also played DIV III hockey while at school. I am a mom to an active almost 3 year old who makes me feel amazing every single day. My greatest accomplishment to date that's for sure.

Allysha Nicholson

Trainer

I recently obtained a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Specialization in Kinesiology from Queens University. Following my degree, I obtained my Personal Trainer Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Growing up I was a very active child, engaged in competitive dance and soccer, and was an avid runner completing the 2014 Ottawa race weekend half-marathon. I have always had a strong passion for the health and well-being of myself and those around me. I believe regular exercise is not only important for physical health but extremely important for mental health as well. Sharing my knowledge on the human body and helping people improve and reach their goals brings me a tremendous amount of joy and satisfaction. I aspire to continue my education in the following areas: registered kinesiologist certification followed by a master’s degree in physiotherapy. I look forward to seeing each and every member around the gym!
