Hi everyone! I’m Robin Mackinnon, an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). With a passion for the gym that began in 2014, I’ve put in a great deal of effort and obtained significant experience in training myself, with others, and helping people who lacked the knowledge they needed to be the best version of themselves they can! Now that I obtained my certification my goal is to provide clients with the information and motivation they need to achieve their individual goals and help build those goals even higher. With my extensive personal fitness background I will make sure you have the proper foundation to grow to your full potential and enjoy doing it too.
