Kinesiologist & Specialist Chef
Connor Faiczak R.Kin, CSEP-CPT, B.Sc.Kin
From a young age, Connor demonstrated a passion for helping friends and family achieve their exercise and fitness goals.
His first successful client was his Great Uncle, who wanted to be able to safely hike with his wife, but didn't feel he could handle it. Connor harnessed his Uncle's love of baseball, putting together a plan to ride a stationary bike instead of sitting still while watching his favourite team. Over a few months, his Uncle gained strength while achieving significant weight loss, enabling him to share a lovely trip and great hiking experience with his wife.
Education
Connor earned the Honours Bachelor of Kinesiology at McMaster University, where he had the privilege to work with children and adults with severe developmental disabilities, spinal cord injury patients, and development of his own strength training routines.
He received his Personal Training Certificate from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology in his third year, allowing him to tailor his final year to courses in exercise prescription and nutrition. That led him to
a Specialist Chef Degree from the local, industry leading, Top Toques Institute of Culinary Excellence, allowing him to further assist his clients in their journey to health and wellness.
Serving the Kitchener-Waterloo Community
Connor spent 5 years with the team at the award winning Personal Edge Training Studio, helping many members of the Kitchener-Waterloo community reach their goals, overcome past injuries, and lead healthier lifestyles.
Connor continues helping the people in his life, including providing guidance for his younger sister Jordyn on her way to becoming a national team athlete who recently represented Canada at the World Cup. He's excited to share his passion and offer a truly unique and personalized experience for his clients as he serves as one of the first Personal Trainer/Chef combinations in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
