About the Presenter:

 

Jody Kennett, SFU HFC, BCRPA Personal Trainer, ACE Clinical Exercise Specialist, 10 years experience leading Joint Replacement Classes

 

Jody has over 10 years experience training joint replacement clients.  She has trained hundreds of individuals both pre and post operation joint replacement.  Her training in this niche market began at the forefront of the development of a joint replacement program being created at the District of West Vancouver in collaboration with Lions Gate Hospital.  This program grew from 1 class of a few participants to now having 6 class time options with the capacity to hold up to 12 registrants.  With the growth of the program, Jody realized the need for a specialized instructor training program.  Therefore, she designed an extensive course manual and one day workshop on Joint Replacement with the goal of other communities building these joint replacement classes at their facilities.  She is now owner of Leap Fit Training Professionals where she continues to be a post rehabilitation specialist, is a wellness coach, and creates training programs for teenage girls.
