I love the versatility and quality you receive at each class. You get highly trained coaches that not only care about technique, but they also care about YOU -- how you fuel, how you recover, how you are doing and how we can all improve together. You go for the workout but stay for the community!

Change Fitness has been such a great find for me since moving to Shawnigan! I regularly attend the Strength and Conditioning classes and throughly enjoy them. It’s a very welcoming environment for anyone who is nervous or anxious, or new to the gym. All of the workouts are very easy to scale and therefore great for all levels of fitness. This is a fabulous community and if you’re thinking about joining, do it! Thanks for all you do Steph!

Steph is the best of the best. Great programs to follow from home or in the gym and get great results.Always adding new programs to keep you interested and challenged in. She’s so supportive and works from a holistic health perspective.Love having Steph in my health corner.

I had some great workouts last fall with Steph and Judith, and recently joined a home-based 6 week Consistency Challenge. I didn't expect the workouts and support from Steph to be so organized, supportive, and holistic! Her app is great, and her positivity is encouraging. As a newbie to strength training, this was the perfect program to get me into a routine. I'm signing up for another program now and am so excited to continue my health journey with a great gym in my community. Thank you! <3

Change Fitness is not just another gym to go, if you are ready for a life change, Stephanie (owner/operator) will guide you through this journey for success. The atmosphere is private, the equipment is premium, and the results are encompassing. Change Fitness provides you with a safe space to release the stress of a busy day and meditate on how we can better our whole selves. At the end of the day, the focus is not on the number on the scale, she helps you re-wire your brain and pay attention to how good you feel. The end result is muscle, weight loss, and a price-less gift of confidence.

Love this app! I haven’t been at all disciplined in achieving my fitness goals and this app has everything, including encouragement! There is a fitness video for everything from 3 minutes if you are in a hurry but want to create that habit to a full on total body for those days when you can commit to more time! Steph has thought of everything with the goal of holistic fitness in mind. I love her style and I feel sure you will too! Thanks for all you do, Steph, this is one app I won’t be cancelling! ❤️

Change fitness provides an inclusive and supportive environment for your training!! Best experience I’ve had with both personal and group fitness classes. I cannot recommend them enough.

2024-12-11T05:02:54.550Z

The best gym in Shawnigan Lake! The most knowledgeable trainers and wonderful people to workout alongside!

2024-12-11T02:03:59.850Z

Steph is fantastic to work with. Very knowledgeable, motivating and makes working out fun. Great community at her studio too which is always welcoming.

2024-12-10T19:29:03.520Z

I love this gym and the community it creates! Steph is a fantastic trainer and provides challenging workouts for all fitness levels (including postpartum). She cares about her clients well being beyond the gym and can hold you accountable for nutrition goals, stress management and sleep health. I look forward to my workouts every week - cannot recommend Change Fitness enough!

2024-09-18T14:24:05.263Z

I have been working out with Steph for over a year now. I have never found a trainer who is more dedicated, consistent, knowledgeable and above all supportive. The community of the gym goes far beyond the physical space as Steph brings so many good people together through whole body wellness. Step is incredibly motivating as a gym and life coach.

2024-01-30T03:14:35.322Z

Can’t say it enough: Steph really cares about a complete approach to health! She’s an amazing coach, but also inspires mental wellness exercises, goal setting and habit forming. She checks in and has awesome tips to keep you motivated. I love her and her programs! She’s creating community and I’m grateful to be part of it.

2023-11-16T18:37:33.335Z

Change fitness is the whole package! Great motivating fitness classes/online classes as well as helpful insight into mental wellness, nutrition, self-care etc. I love it! Steph is the best

I went to Steph looking for training in specific fitness and health goals. While she definitely has helped me reach those, she has given so much more. Steph has a clever and beautiful way of integrating many modalities of health and wellness into your sessions, with her wealth of knowledge, resourcefulness, and life experience. She truly takes the time to get to know and understand her clients. With this she curates programs that work for each individual, deeply understanding that fitness and health is not a “one size fits all”. Steph has enhanced my life in so many ways, and I definitely recommend getting in touch if you are curious at all in the ways she could enhance yours!

2023-09-26T18:56:45.315Z

Stephanie is a great trainer who balances compassion in listening to your feedback while also driving you towards your goals. Highly recommended.

2023-09-23T21:07:32.075Z

I've been using Steph's fitness app for about 6 months now. I have a home gym and I'm in reasonable shape but I needed to bring it up a notch and be more consistent with my workouts.Steph's fitness app has really helped me do this and to push myself. The workouts regularly kick my butt. I so enjoy that I can do them when I want and where I want.Steph keeps in touch and together with the Change fitness community they help keep me motivated.I'm also inspired by Steph as a young business woman!!From one islander to another... good on ya!

2023-01-08T17:23:01.107Z

Stephanie is a rockstar physical trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and committed to the realization of her client’s health goals. Not only does she tailor make her exercises and sessions specifically for the client’s needs, she addresses the whole body: sleep, nutrition, fitness and goal setting. I always feel very comfortable sharing my challenges and expressing my wishes with Stephanie and in a very short time, with her help, I have gone from feeling discouraged and weak to being able to access my own strength and ability to power through and really believe in myself. I highly recommend choosing Stephanie as your personal trainer!

2022-07-11T23:55:33.237Z

Steph is amazing! I came to Change Fitness needing guidance to make my time in the gym more efficient and target workouts to support my trail running goals. Steph has created fun, dynamic and challenging workouts that have actually made me fall in love with strength and stability training. I have felt supported and inspired throughout this journey with Steph. Not only has my relationship with the gym changed for the better, so too has my relationship with my body. Super professional and someone who walks her talk :)

2022-03-28T23:45:30.950Z

Wow, what an amazing personal training experience. I have been a athlete and fitness enthusiast my entire life and now that I'm in my mid-30's I find it challenging to locate a trainer who can really push me and keep me guessing. Stephanie is on it, she knows her stuff, and she is also just absolutely lovely. If you're new to movement and weightlifting, she will guide you. If you are experienced and looking for a challenge, look no further. 5 stars, no hesitation recommending Stephanie.

2021-12-30T17:41:47.231Z

I have worked out both in studio and online with Change Fitness instructor Stephanie Denny. She is personally very encouraging to each and every client wherever you are in your Fitness level. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise to push you to where you need to go. Physical fitness is such an important area in all of our lives. It affects every area including mental, social, spiritual and of course physical wellness. Thank you Stephanie for all that you do and all that you offer.

2021-11-25T23:35:10.454Z

Not only does Change Fitness offer the insight to supporting health as a collaboration of our mind and body; it is delivered from an exceptional trainer that cares and believes in the work she is doing. Steph offers a safe place to feel heard and also build on how to deliver you an approach that works best for you. She is accountable, supportive and a genuinely fantastic human being.You would be fortunate to receive her guidance and she would welcome your insights as much as she would offer her own.

I can't believe how much progress I made in a few months...no way could I have done this on my own in a gym! I started in March and by June I was having the best summer of my life... EVER! I was wearing shorts and bathing suits every chance I got. Stephanie is such a good fit for me...she understands my fitness goals and really knows I want to work hard and knows how to push me. Thank you Stephanie! I am so blessed to be one of your clients

2021-11-05T15:35:40.036Z

Stephanie is an amazing personal trainer, she customizes the program to your needs and goes above and beyond to ensure your physical and mental health. I have noticed my physical strength increase while working with her but something unexpected is how my mental health has improved through my training with her. Not all trainers take the time to check in with you the way she does. Everyday is a new work out and it is exciting to arrive to see what she has come up with for the day. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a trainer.

2021-08-27T20:20:43.402Z

Change fitness has been such a game changer in my fitness during covid!! I have loved the online videos and in person training. Steph is the most down to earth person and leads with you encouragement, kindness and enthusiasm for healthy living. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking to improve their overall health!
