I would highly recommend Sheila’s personal training sessions and online workouts to everyone! I have been working with Sheila for over three years and she is undoubtably the best fitness coach I have ever had.

She is extremely knowledgeable about latest fitness/wellness/nutrition research and keeps current in all her certifications as a fitness coach. I love Sheila’s detail to form.

After having chronic neck issues for many years, I feel safe and confident that I am building strength, endurance, cardio, and balance without compromising my body.

I also appreciate Sheila’s personality as she is clear, encouraging, interesting, and fun as she leads me through workouts.

I have exercised most of my life and have never really enjoyed it, until I met Sheila. Now I look so forward to her weekly sessions and enjoy the convenience of doing online classes in my own home.

Sheila, I wanted to share an experience I had that could have resulted in an injury but fortunately had an opposite effect.

I had been gardening and as I walked towards the top of our steep stairs going along the side of the house, I tripped over a small branch that I didn’t see.

I lost my balance at the top and started to dart forwards but instead of falling down the entire stairway, I skipped all the way to the bottom, landing upright.

This may seem trivial but looking back, I know it could have ended differently.

I attribute my balance and strength to your classes that I have been regularly taking for almost six years now!!  It was a mind/body experience.

Thank you, Sheila, for all your positive coaching!

Thanks for another great training session Sheila. I love our hour of power! I’m so very grateful to be able to get up and down from the floor unaided again. It’s been years since I’ve been able to do that!

Your core and strength training has not only relieved my chronic back pain but given me the energy to dance for hours in my lovely platform boots. I’m looking forward to seeing more improvements over the next 14 months when I turn 80. It’s never too late to be healthy.

Training with Sheila and Lyndsay continues to be a great experience.

I am constantly improving in strength, balance, are cardio. The sessions are always changing and are lots of fun. I go to group sessions. The other clients are inspiring!

Overall, I love it!

My life was too sedentary and I needed a kick-started to getting back in shape. I was a bit hesitant initially because I'd never been to a gym.

But it quickly became clear that Sheila has a genuine interest in helping her clients become more strong and healthy. She is a caring person who is fun to be with!

There have been several improvement to my health. I stronger in every way (e.g. I can now do mini-pushups!). Sheila and her wonderful team are caring and professional in every way.

Sheila is always improving her own practice and is an incredible inspiration! You can trust the team to offer excellent advice regarding how best to approach your fitness activities.

Sheila and her team are genuinely committed to helping others improve their health and well-being through rolling, stretching, strengthening, and cardio.

I am grateful to the Movement Garden team for all your efforts!

Sheila Hamilton has been my primary trainer since the start of 2017. She was recommended by my physiotherapist whose husband was a client. As a team sport, multi-sport athletic person all my life, I let my training go in my 40s while raising young kids and working full time.

My fitness level was down, I lacked strength and endurance and my eating habits were not a priority.

Sheila came into my life at the right time and quickly became more than my trainer. Sheila's warm, friendly, holistic approach to strength and nutrition is generous and supportive.

She is so committed to her health and strength practice that she freely gives shared knowledge during our training session because of her passion.

I learn something new every time and she is helping me build great habits that are now a part of my daily life. She also follows up to keep me on track and accountable.

Sheila has changed my life and my family's. She is an integral part of our lives in the way we talk about nutrition, conditioning, strength and being 'fit' and well.

We have a long way to go before our family becomes the "Incredibles", but with Sheila helping guide us, we are getting there. My husband was slow to get on the personal trainer wagon, but he equally adores and respects her.

Sheila, I have been meaning to email you for awhile, but just haven’t gotten to it. I want to let you know that I am deeply appreciative of your work and support. I really am a stronger version of myself, which I never thought about happening. My left shoulder in particular has become stronger, and I can do the Turkish get up now, even though it’s not pretty! I know I’m stronger overall. Big thanks!

I knew my body was tight and could use some assistance but I had convinced myself that continuing to bike and keeping generally active was "enough". One class with Movement Garden made me realize how wrong I was. The program has made a huge difference to my mobility and started loosening my leg muscles and removing the pain.

About 15 years ago, I met Sheila Hamilton when she became a client of mine at my salon. I was experiencing a lot of debilitating pain in my shoulder and hadn’t been able to get any lasting relief from pain control or physio. As I use my shoulder consistently during the day for my job it was becoming unbearable. My shoulder felt like it was locked into one position.
I mentioned it to Sheila and she told me that she felt that she could help me. I started seeing her on a regular basis, taking baby steps to open my shoulder and increase my mobility.
After several months, I felt less and less pain and had much more flexibility. Eventually I became pain-free, which I hadn’t been in many years.
I had never been a lover of exercise. My history with fitness was sporadic. I never found an activity or fitness program that I would stick with.
Having such positive results from Sheila with my shoulder really opened my eyes, and my mind, to the positive results of being “strong”.
I started taking private classes with Sheila, learning how to move safely and learning a lot about “functional movement”.
Over the years I have learned to enjoy movement and strength, and only have a positive outlook on fitness and nutrition. All because of the passion and wisdom that Sheila shares with those lucky enough to have chosen her to help them build a stronger version of themselves.
Thank you Sheila for always being “my sharp stick.”
