Experienced Certified Personal Trainer

PJ WREN

CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER & FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

MY STORY

I’ve been a certified personal trainer since 1994 and during that time I have spent the better part of my career helping women over the age of 40 get fit and fierce.

I love squats, lunges, a good burger, and a gin & tonic on ice with a squeeze of lime (the lime is a MUST).

The only three things I love more than fitness are my loving husband (I call him LH), and my fur babies Bella, George and Max.

Enjoys:

N

Making fitness fun & accessible for ALL levels and in the comfort of your home

N

Empowering women 40, 50 & 60+ to get strong & feel good in their bodies

N

Giving the middle finger to the diet culture & those who think there’s an age limit on fitness

Dislikes:

N

Working out longer than you have to

N

Online fitness instructors who put on music & do their own workout without cueing proper form

N

Fad diets and the word ‘can’t’

MY APPROACH

My approach is simple. Give you a workout, with options for where ever you are in your fitness journey, in a fun and inspiring way.

I DON’T BELIEVE IN FADS AND I DON’T DO QUICK FIXES.

Neither work. I prefer my that community see lasting results, rather than quick results with a high degree of drop off.

The exercises, programs and tools I use (and recommend) are based on years of research, my own personal use, and what has worked for the thousands of women I have trained through the decades.

NO GIMMICKS, NO BULLSH*T.

Trainer’s promise.

MY VALUES & BELIEFS

Moderation is the key to happiness & health

Obsessing over calories is not fun. Exercising to burn off calories because you ate poorly is not enjoyable. I preach moderation, not fads or extremes.

Exercise should not hurt, it should make you feel good

There are so many different exercises that there’s no reason why you should be forced to do one if it’s hurting you.

We don't need to change our diets, we need to change our mindset

This not about having the perfect body. It’s about loving the one that you are in RIGHT now. It’s about an attitude shift to appreciate what we have.

MY CREDENTIALS

A BCRPA-certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor since 1994, I hold advanced certification in Fitness Training for the Older Adult through the British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association — one of Canada’s most rigorous fitness designations.

I am also BoneFit™ certified through Osteoporosis Canada, reflecting my deep commitment to bone health and fall prevention.

As a published writer specializing in women’s health, I translate complex exercise science into practical, accessible guidance for the women I serve.
