About Us

Hi, my name is Val Kirk and I am a Personal Trainer Specialist for my business “Essentially Fitness” based in Warman, Saskatchewan.  I am certified through CSEP (Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology and Can-Fit-Pro).  I am also certified as a Group Aerobic Instructor through SPRA (Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation & Can-Fit-Pro).  I bring a total of 34 years of experience into this profession and I have seen many dietary fads, equipment failures & just plain stupid things that should not be allowed in this profession. My philosophy is just this:  basic movement with functional movement patterns......”there is an athlete in all of us” finding it and keeping it can be a challenge for most people that is why I have chosen to get back to the basics.  There is no equipment purchases, unless you want too, and there is no fad diets to follow or membership fees to pay.  I start with a free consultation followed by a Fitness Assessment, which is a series of tests to find out where you fitness level is.  A very detailed and specific program would be developed, but in order to achieve any fitness GOAL you have to work to get the results.

The following are my qualifications:  CSEP-CPT (Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology – Certified Personal Trainer); CPTS (Certified Personal Trainer Specialist – Can-Fit-Pro); U of S (University of Saskatchewan) Specialty Courses for Aerobic Fitness and Strength Training; Level 1 BOSU Training (Twist Conditioning, Vancouver, B.C.); Level 1 & 11 Yoga (Beginner – Advanced) (Yoga Alliance, Saskatoon, Sk.); Yoga-Fit Level 1 (Can-Fit-Pro, Toronto, Ontario); HIITs Blitz, Blast your Abs, Glutes and Core – A Big HIIT with your Clients, Extreme Equipment-LESS Boot-camp, MATRIX, etc. Certified (IDEA Health & Fitness Association USA); Certified Exercise Cancer Specialist (Cancer Association, Toronto, Ontario); Bone-fit Certified (Osteoporosis Canada); Group Aerobic Instructor (all ages, etc.) SPRA (Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation Association)); Nordic Walking (Vancouver, B.
