“I highly recommend her if you are considering some help with recovering from an injury, conditioning to prevent an injury or want to take your performance to a higher level.”

Francesca McKenzie, R.Kin
Owner, FitFx Training

Francesca is a Registered Kinesiologist and Fitness Coach with almost 20 years of experience in the fitness industry. It was her own battles of repeated athletic injuries and being overweight that ignited a career in kinesiology and health science.

Francesca holds an honours degree in Kinesiology and Health Science from York University, and she has taken numerous courses & certifications in the areas of postural restoration, assessment, and disability management/return to work planning.

From gyms to clinical settings, she has extensive experience in personal training, injury management, and strength and conditioning. She believes that exercise can be applied intelligently to help her clients reach new levels of strength, function, and optimal performance.

With a thorough assessment and lifestyle intake, Francesca can help you develop a customized exercise and lifestyle prescription designed to help you reach your fitness and wellness goals. Chronic diseases, athletic/occupational injuries, current lifestyle habits and your level of readiness are all taken into consideration.

Believing that there is always a way to progress, move better and maintain healthy habits are many of Francesca’s fundamentals. She has successfully trained clients across a spectrum of functional limitations and is committed to their success. In her spare time, Francesca enjoys working out/running, reading, sports, and travel.
