Kris’s work has been featured in the media in The Globe & Mail as well as Canadian Running Magazine. In 2016, Kris received the Tiger Assist Award for outstanding contribution to Dalhousie Athletics.
Over the past ten years, Kris has worked extensively with Dalhousie Athletics as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for several teams, compiling 24 AUS Championships during that time: Men’s swimming (10), Women’s swimming (10), Women’s Volleyball (3), and Men’s basketball (1).

Leanne graduated from Acadia University with a degree in Psychology, and during her final year, found a passion for running. That evolved to include strength training as well, and seeing the real value in knowing how to keep the body strong and healthy, she decided to pursue it in a more professional capacity.
Leanne is a certified Personal Trainer with Canada Fitness Professionals, and has been with Push Fitness since September 2015. As the group fitness lead, she works hard to create fun and challenging workouts each week, as well as staying up-to-date on what’s new and relevant for her clients, and attending conferences when possible.
Keishia fell in love with health and fitness at a young age; it began in the pool as an athlete and later as a coach. She has over 5 years experience coaching her local swim team and later the Halifax Special Olympic Swim Team and Masters Swim Team. She later pursued a competitive swimming career at the varsity level while studying for her BSc in Biology at Dalhousie University.
Her accomplished career as a breaststroker for the Dalhousie Tigers and Halifax Trojans led her to many National finals and to Canadian Olympic Trials in 2012 and 2016. While swimming with Dalhousie, she also began to assist Kris with the team’s strength and conditioning program and quickly realized coaching was one of her passions. She completed her level 1 certification with Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning and is now a Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC). She joined the Push Fitness team in October 2016. Keishia is ecstatic to be working with such great clientele while continuing to enhance her knowledge of personal training!
Max has developed a passion for athletics and fitness when he wanted to increase his performance while playing basketball during high school. He carried on this passion to complete his Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University.
He has since implemented his knowledge to stay fit and healthy while mountain biking, surfing, and snowboarding. He has experience working as a Kinesiologist in a physiotherapy clinic, which helped him foster an awareness of injury prevention, and an appreciation for proactive exercise and functional fitness.
He is a Certified Personal Trainer under the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), and is eager to expand his knowledge with the team at PUSH. He is looking forward to getting to know the the community at PUSH and is excited to continue learning and developing his own skills to help you pursue your goals!
Jolene’s intention for her students is for them to leave her yoga classes with a sense of ease and strength; a feeling of calm and grace. She is earthy and nurturing, while encouraging appropriate physical challenge. Through the process of honouring her students, they come to know that they are their own true teacher; she is just the guide.
Jolene has 14 years and over 1000 hours of teaching experience (E-RYT 500) and each of her classes, is for her, a personal meditation, which brings much fulfillment and joy into her life.
Along with teaching at Push, Jolene continues to teach privately throughout the city and province. Her clients include many athletes like The Halifax Mooseheads, and other athletes/teams (pro and amateur alike). Jolene also teaches the Yoga curriculum at Armbrae Academy and is a part of several Halifax YTT faculty; specializing in prenatal, postnatal, athlete and yin.
