Natatia, certified personal trainer, nutrition coach and fitness enthusiast for over seventeen years. As a member of the largest fitness and nutrition organizations both in Canada and the United States has given me the opportunity to learn from experts in the health and fitness industry from around the world. These experiences gave me the knowledge to work with people who have different goals and needs.
Continued education in exercise science, nutrition, corrective exercises, older adult programming and Sports Conditioning is my focus each year. Health and fitness is a journey and nothing feels better than knowing I can help someone increase mobility with corrective exercises and feel better with a good nutrition plan along their fitness journey.
My goal is to help my clients eat better, exercise smarter and move well like I have done myself for many years. I believe corrective exercises and well-balanced nutrition is the foundation of any exercise program.
My love for food and exercising has helped me transform my physique in many fitness competitions across Canada placing second and third in the figure, sports athletics, muscle, and fitness modelling category.
I founded Natatia’s One On One Fitness in 2004 in our home basement and at the time offered one on one and couples personal training. I later had the opportunity to work with the largest fitness company in Canada. In 2010 I was recognized as one of the top personal trainers in the region. In August of 2011, I left the company for the birth of my second child and a few months later, I started to train clients in my home studio again.
In 2014, I relocated Natatia’s One On One Fitness from my home to a studio at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls On, where I had the ability to serve more people. I then added a specialty group program (group personal training) as another option.
After two years of relocating, it was time to reassess my “why” and my “purpose”. I wanted to reach more people and I couldn’t do it alone. I wanted a team that is passionate about fitness and have similar goals.
In 2018, I rebranded Natatia’s One On One Fitness to Functional Performance Fitness and now a team of nine instructors and coaches. I could not have done this without a team; the support of my husband & children, many mentors, my clients and my circle of influence. Functional Performance Fitness, formerly know as Natatia’s One On One Fitness is now operating as a 24-hour fitness club, offering an open gym, personal training, group classes, senior fitness, yoga and childminding.
Aside from my passion to train individuals with injuries, those of special needs, and training the average Joes like professional athletes, I love having quality time with my family, I love to travel, l love listening to motivational and inspirational podcasts and audiobooks.
My Favorite quote “Perfection is not attainable but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence” “Vince Lombardi”
