Maria Gilchrist

Maria grew up in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where she spent more time reading books than moving her body.  By high school, her mother recognized the need for more movement and enrolled Maria in a yoga class.  She fell in love and has practiced and studied yoga ever since, completing trainings in vinyasa and yin.  While yoga was the doorway to movement for Maria, she discovered strength training a few years later and is passionate about the ways that the two practices compliment one another. 

This passion fuelled an interest in the human body and a desire to help people move sustainably in whatever ways they love or need to. Maria connected these dots and eventually decided to pursue a career in Massage Therapy, completing her diploma at Mount Royal University.  She believes in effective, proactive treatment and the combination of movement and manual therapy as medicine.

Chris Lemky

Perfectionists are hard to have around, although often they are necessary. Chris Lemky is no exception. Unwilling to compromise, impossible to bargain with and generally disagreeable. If you have ever had a feeling or emotion: stay at least 10 meters away from this man. Getting coached by Chris is an absolute last resort. Some examples of reasonable motivation to bring this nemesis into your life are:

• You’re getting divorced and have the body of a couch from the late 80’s
• You’re going to prison in 3 months
• You want to actualize as much of your athletic potential as possible and don’t care about the cost to your mental health

Outside of similar parameters, the surgeon general does not recommend consuming this product. Coaching from Chris is comparable to eating liver; you know it’s good for you, highly nutritious and makes you superior to those around you… but the irony blood taste and the horrible mouthfeel make it almost not worth it. He is quoted as saying:

            “Anything that is against the Geneva Convention is a great coaching technique.”

A University background in Behavioural Science and Kinesiology, NCCP Competitive Development Weightlifting Coach certification and a 18+ year career in coaching facilitate a system that uses a balance of scientific and heuristic factors. A balance must be struck in all things and pursued with vigour, if victory is to be achieved. Some testimonials from his athletes:

            “I hate your guts, but god damn do I respect you.”

-MG

            “You just do this to upset me!”

-SK

            “What do you know, you’re just a weightlifting coach.”

-EE

            “They’re just feelings, they’ll heal.”

-RS

            “I’m much stronger, but I’m so depressed.”

-MG

            “I just F—k-ng HATE this!” **throws belt**

Matthew Fordham

I specialize in deep tissue therapeutic treatments. Although I particularly enjoy treating athletes, the reality is that we all have areas that need work. Most of us do far too much sitting for work (or on the couch) which can lead to aches and pains. A specialized deep tissue treatment plan can alleviate chronic upper back and neck pain as well as tension headaches and migraines. Throughout our treatment plan, I will utilize a variety of techniques and modalities to achieve the desired results.
Perhaps you’re an athlete who wants to improve your athletic performance. Or you’ve realized you just worked a little too hard in the gym. Or maybe it’s the aches and pains of everyday life that have you feeling pushed into the corner. Whatever your situation and the reasons for it, I will tailor a unique plan for your specific needs
