Lisa Giesbrecht's Iron Works

I’ve been working with Lisa for almost 4 months and I don’t think I could’ve made a better decision. I started working with Lisa at a rocky time and she’s been able to get me back on track with working out and staying motivated. Lisa knows how hard to push me in the gym and pushes me to lift heavier because she knows I’m stronger than I think. Lisa is such a fantastic trainer but also a great person to have as your cheerleader. You da bomb, Lisa! Thanks for pushing me past my limits and helping me stay accountable!!

I can recommend Lisa without reserve. My wife and I chose to work with Lisa after hearing of her from other members of our gym. We started with her early for a competition 10 months away. She produced meal and work out plans specifically for us. Any time there was an issue she helped us through it and we realized our goal with great success. I have and will continue to recommend Lisa to people looking to achieve health goals whether that is weight loss or bodybuilding competition prep. Thank you Lisa, I look forward to working with you again.

I am a senior and never tried personal training before. Knowing I was losing strength and fitness during this Covid year, I was encouraged by my daughter to try working with Lisa. There are not enough superlatives for me to describe my training experience with Lisa....she encourages, she corrects body alignment,she made me enthusiastic about weight training ....such that I am working up a personal gym at home. It is not sophisticated with a lot of equipment....but Lisa has shown me how to work with what I have for a home fitness regime. She keeps in touch to ensure she tailors the routine to what you want or need to work on.You will feel fabulous after a workout with Lisa. Highly recommended for all ages!

My husband and I started working with Lisa in mid September 2018. We had been struggling to lose weight and build, despite trying to eat our best and getting to the gym regularly. Lisa set us up with an eating plan and some guidelines and we started on our journey. Throughout it, my husband and I realized that there is no 'one size fits all' diet, as Lisa would tailor each of our eating plans to accommodate our bodies and make them respond. I lost weight at a nice and steady pace, but consistently. After the first 12 weeks, I was down 20 lbs :). We continued on as we knew we wanted to compete in the Vancouver Island Showdown in June of 2019.All the way to competition time, Lisa had an eating plan for me that my body continually responded to. She helped me bring a physique to the stage that I NEVER thought I would have! We are now continuing with Lisa after the competition with a reverse diet ( so very important) and I am feeling amazing. We will definitely work with Lisa for our next competition and have acquired some fantastic tools to keep ourselves in check into the future. Thank you Lisa, your program was a life changer. I have never been so happy in my own skin!

I have been working with Lisa for over two years and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Previously, I would work out, push myself, injure myself and then continue until the injury forced me to to stop. Lisa has taught me the right techniques, how to work around aches, pains and injuries and how to not injure myself. She has helped me push myself to the maximum beyond what I would ever have tried on my own and made it safe and fun. I can't recommend her enough. She is knowlegeable, helpful, tactful!!! and gives me workouts that are varied, a challenge and really satisfying. My body is totally different and I'm proud of what she has helped me achieve.

Lisa was truly incredible to work with. She created a custom meal plan for me and held me accountable through weekly check ins, which is exactly what I needed to follow through with the plan! She has so much knowledge and she’s great at what she does, but what really sets her apart is that she cares about her clients! She genuinely wants to set you up for success long term for whatever your goals might be. She helped me long after my 12 weeks were up, just to make sure I was in a good place and ready to move forward independently. I can’t say enough about what an amazing and life changing experience this has been for me. Thank you Lisa!!!

I highly recommend Lisa to anyone who is beginning their fitness journey. I worked with Lisa over 12 weeks and she taught me plenty about how crucial nutrition is in a weight loss journey, as well as proper form with my lifts. I am stronger than I have been in a long time, and am feeling amazing. Thanks to Lisa I have the tools to continue this into my adult life!

I met Lisa 5 months ago and I don't know what I would do without her. She has taught me about food, exercise and perseverance. My body has changed so much with her guidance, knowledge and encouragement. I will continue my journey with her watching my body change and my self esteem grow. You can truly tell that Lisa cares about her clients and I 100% recommend her if you are ready to make a move towards a healthier lifestyle. If you want more energy, if you want stronger muscles, if you want to feel better about yourself, contact Lisa. She's got your back!

Lisa is a talented, seasoned and incredible trainer and just an absolutely wonderful woman to work and learn from. Lisa helped me learn about diet, nutrition and weight training. Being a client with limited knowledge of weight training, Lisa really encouraged and supported me to learn to lift weights - heavier than I had ever imagined possible! I was able to lose ~ 25 pounds of extra weight I had been carrying for many years in just 3 months and am in the best shape I have ever been in. Lisa is an absolute gem and I feel so lucky to have the privilege to work with her and cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a positive change and someone to help you improve your physical fitness, Lisa is your girl!
