Sukhi Kambo - 604-983-6368

Registered Kinesiologist, Personal Trainer

Wellness is defined as “a state in which a human being functions at an optimal level of integration between the elements of body, mind and spirit. Sukhi’s belief is that a “well” individual is one who is happy, healthy, and whole and who perceives his/her life as one with meaning and purpose.” Sukhi prides herself on her high level of knowledge in the nutrition and supplementation field.  While dieting and training may go hand in hand; Sukhi is a true believer in the “no diet” diet. The foods we eat and the way we train should reflect our lifestyles and who we are for life.  

Sukhi’s main pointers for having a healthy and fit figure for life are:

  •  Use resistance training and interval cardio sessions to boost muscle mass, increase cellular metabolism and become fuel efficient.
  •  DON'T DIET! Eat a nutritious well balanced diet to discourage "survival" fat storage.
