Welcome to PT Launchpad: A Journey to Empower Trainers!

Hello friend,

Welcome to PT Launchpad! I’m so thrilled to have you here as part of this exciting journey to grow, learn, and succeed together as fitness professionals.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Loïse, and I’m a canfitpro Pro Trainer with a PhD in organic chemistry and over 6 years of experience teaching chemistry at the University of Toronto. During my PhD, I was also a circus artist (my fav things to do in the circus were flying trapeze and trampoline)—a path that changed when a shoulder injury required me to work with a personal trainer to regain my strength and mobility. That experience changed my life and led me into the fitness world.

In 2022, while working a full-time corporate job, I attended a fitness conference hoping to gain knowledge and inspiration. Instead, I left feeling disappointed by how little I had learned. After discussing this with my mentor, she encouraged me to consider becoming a Pro Trainer and presenter myself. She believed I had the knowledge to share and the passion to make a difference.

Fast forward two years, and I couldn’t be more excited about where this journey has taken me. In just one year as a Pro Trainer, I’ve trained and certified over 20 students, and in March 2024, I’ll be presenting at my very first fitness conference!

I’m a teacher at heart and a scientist by training. I love breaking down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps, and my goal is to empower trainers like you. By teaching personal training courses, I have the privilege of helping others grow their skills, launch their careers, and ultimately make a greater impact on the lives of their clients.

I specialize in working with older adults—a population I deeply respect and enjoy working with. Older adults bring wisdom and rich life experiences to the table, and I find so much purpose in helping them live not only longer lives but better lives.

In today’s society, older adults are often overlooked, but they deserve to be celebrated, valued, and included. After all, we’re all heading in that direction—if we’re lucky enough. I hope to inspire more trainers to see the value in working with this incredible demographic.
