FAQs with Farrantina

  • I became interested in fitness after years of varsity wrestling in university. After I retired from the sport, I was struggling with some injuries and maintaining a healthy balanced diet. It took some time, but I overcame these obstacles through proper nutrition and resistance training. I discovered that exercise is medicine, and I wanted to help others achieve their own fitness and health goals.

  • My favourite part about being a trainer is helping my clients achieve their goals. Whether that be overcoming an injury or losing weight, I feel just as good as my clients when they reach their end goal. It never fails to amaze me to look back on how far they have come. 

  • My favourite exercise is the pull-up. I love training back!

  • My go to healthy snack is chopped up bell peppers/carrots with hummus.

  • The most common type of client that I work with are those who are new to strength training and looking to become leaner. These are people of all ages who are looking to gain strength and are new to training with weights. It is never too late to learn about all of the benefits that come from strength training.
