Hi, I'm Rikki!
Exercise has always been an important part of my life.
I discovered water exercise during 4th year of university. I loved the buoyant adventure the pool exercise offered me. Since I was working towards a degree in Physical Education, becoming an Aqua fitness instructor was a natural next step. I certified as a personal trainer soon after.
I have worked as a fitness professional since 1991. Services are offered in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
