Favourite Way to Get Active: Running and jogging for lower body, pull-ups and arm workouts for upper body, and swimming for full-body!
Passionate About: Drawing, playing video games, swimming and mountain biking, and I want to write a book series with 100 books!
David was a Participant in Coach Sherry's MOVE Class before joining our team as a Support Agent!
Experience with MOVE: It’s a great way to connect to people and converse with them. It is a great experience – you don’t feel uncomfortable. It helps you not feel alone; it is more than just a screen and computer. Exercises help with your body but it helps with your mind too, it gives you motivation to keep going.

Favourite Way to Get Active: I enjoy walking my dog and gardening. I look forward to my weekly MOVE classes.
Passionate About: My favorite animal is the Koala and my favorite singer is Alan Doyle
Kathleen was a Participant in Coach Deep's MOVE Class before joining our team as a Support Agent!
Experience with MOVE: I enjoy the MOVE program because I have discovered many new exercises that I have never done before. There is very limited exercise programs to support me with my disability. This is the first program that is consistent three times a week and Coach Deep supports me in adapting different exercises to my abilities. Providing a virtual platform has been an excellent experience during the COVID restrictions.

Favourite Way to Get Active: I'm absolutely a morning person and love getting my workouts done first thing to kickstart my day. Strength training is my favourite way to get active as it makes me feel strong, not only physically, but mentally. I'm the best version of myself when I move my body.
Passionate About: I love learning, and think podcasts are such a great tool to learn from others on many topics. Some topics I'm passionate about are leadership, health & fitness, and self-development. One of my favourite podcasts to listen to on my daily walk is, "On Purpose with Jay Shetty". I love podcasts so much that I hope to have my own one day soon!

Are you ready to COACH?
Did you know that youth with special needs often face additional barriers to participation in physical activity? Many typical youth programs don’t offer additional support – or the cost is prohibitive to families. MOVE has been designed to deliver a live online workout and to address a number of the barriers youth face in order to get moving.
MOVE Virtual Coaches are responsible for providing exceptional participant experience through adaptive and progressive workouts delivered over Zoom.
We will provide training on how to work with youth with special needs – if you have a passion for helping everyone thrive through physical activity and fitness, this could be the job for you!
