| ABOUT LOOP FITNESS & PILATES | |
Kristen Sheehan Kristen is an alumni ambassador for Lululemon and the owner/operator of Loop Fitness & Pilates studio in White Rock. Raised in the sunny Okanagan valley, I have a passion for outdoor fitness and like to share my passion for fitness with those around me. Working in the fitness industry has been a dream, balancing home, family and work I feel I have the ideal setting. British Columbia is our natural playground; we have hills for climbing and running, oceans and bays for kayaking and swimming, trails for blazing, mountains for skiing and snowboarding. "Fitness is for both every age and fitness level. I personally believe everyone can be fit and healthy!" Working as both a fitness trainer and Pilates Mat/Reformer trainer for the past 14 years I have diversified my training with Yoga, Spinning and sport specific training.
I believe fitness is both body and mind, both incorporating each other for a complete ideal workout. Maintaining a positive outlook on life and reaching beyond your expectations for yourself provides the ultimate rewards in life. Taking fitness to the next level is not only physical but mental. Incorporating Yoga and Pilates into any routine is a must for not only physical strength and flexibility but mental strength and flexibility.
My passion for fitness started at a young age and has only become stronger over the years. I was always very active and involved in sporting activities both indoor and outdoor. To this day I love hiking, scuba diving, skiing, running and biking, but most of all pilates.
The first day I experienced the reformer I was hooked! It was everything I was looking for. It has managed my pain and brought balance back into my life. After experiencing the endless benefits of pilates I want to share my knowledge and help others reach their goals. I studied at the Physicalmind Institute of Vancouver learning Matwork Pilates, Advanced Standing Mat Pilates, Reformer, Cadillac and Chair and am continually taking courses and expanding my knowledge. I want to be able to assist those who are looking to advance their current fitness level as well as those with physical limitations, and disabilities to enjoy a better quality of life by incorporating movements learned and practiced in the studio, and apply them in everyday life. I look forward to continuing along this incredible journey and what the future may hold!

We all face challenges in our life time; one of my hardest challenges for me was losing the 120lbs I gained after my son was born. Diligence and hard work is what it takes."effort in .. results out", so when clients tell me there is no way they can ever trim down and get fit I let them know their mind and body balance each other. Both need to be in agreement to reach a goal so if you set your attainable goal the sky is the limit~mentally and physically!
A few years ago I became a certified personal trainer. Shortly afterwards, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which left me with extensive shoulder and back injuries. Everyday activities turned into a struggle. After trying many rehabilitation methods such as dry needle physiotherapy (IMS), massage, and acupuncture, my family physician recommended pilates. More specifically the Pilates Reformers at Loop Fitness and Pilates under the instruction of Kristen Sheehan.
