Victoria, BC · in person & online
Personal training with a NASM-certified trainer: in person, online, or written as a program you run yourself. We start with a free 30-minute call about your goals — no obligation, no sales pitch.
I'm Connie, a NASM-certified personal trainer in Victoria, BC. I did not arrive here in a straight line.
I grew up in a small town near Nuremberg, Germany, and trained as a conference interpreter for German, English and French. For a couple of years I worked as a translator for the German military's language service — a job that included a deployment to northern Afghanistan. It was during the basic training for that role that I first noticed how out of shape I was. I started running. I joined a gym.
Somewhere in those years I found the barbell. I moved to Canada in 2011 and to Vancouver Island in 2019, and I have been lifting ever since — most of it in my own garage gym.
More recently, I have rediscovered my love of running. I built up from a 5k to a half marathon, and now the marathon. Some days life is hard and running is easy; other days it is the other way round. Either way, if I can run a marathon, I can do life.
Through the struggles and the ups and downs, training is what has kept me grounded.
I train around an eleven-year-old's schedule, so I have a realistic idea of what fitting workouts into an actual week looks like. Not the version with two spare hours and a perfect gym.
I know what it is to start from scratch as an adult, in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by people who look like they already know what they are doing. What I want most is to help you discover what exercise can do: build confidence in your own body, and give a busy mind a break.
Four steps from first conversation to a program you can start on.
We talk about what you want to achieve and I check I can get to you. No obligation, nothing to prepare.
Choose what you would like to start and your invoice arrives by email. Pay by Interac e-Transfer.
A health questionnaire, and one about the equipment and space you have to train in.
Built around what you actually have, whether it is at home with a set of bands or at a fully equipped gym.
These prices are available until 30 November 2026, after which they rise to the regular rate. Start before then and you keep the founding rate for as long as you train with me. All prices plus GST.

Connie's training plan simply feels good.
Before our first call I had my doubts, because I'm not exactly very fit, and Connie runs marathons and lifts weights, so she's in really great shape. But Connie really listens. She asks questions and tries to make room for whatever you enjoy most about exercise. The plan fits completely into my everyday life and suits me. It offers variations. I was impressed by how much appreciation Connie shows you, and how much she enjoys putting together an individual training plan for me. I really recommend her. I'm glad I had the courage to give this training a try.
Translated from German
Highly recommended! I love training with Connie! She is incredibly warm, super friendly and motivates me every single time, while tailoring everything to my needs.
As a working mom of three boys, my days are often packed. Connie built the training plan perfectly around that, so I can do the exercises flexibly at home, and on some days that makes all the difference. The balance is always right: never too much, never too little, and real, noticeable progress.
A real highlight is the client portal on her website: tap an exercise to watch the video, log the reps or weight you managed, done. You can tell right away that you're training with a well-thought-out, structured plan.
The training is so much fun, the time flies by, and it's the perfect way to switch off and unwind. Thank you so much for looking after me so well, Connie!
