Helping our clients live healthier lives – one workout at a time
We work with people of all shapes and sizes but we love working with clients who want to fight ageing every step of the way,” says One on One owner Sandra Bueckert (pictured below). “Age is the great equalizer and at 55, I’m a part of the resistance.”
“I chose One on One many years ago as I wanted to gain muscle and become stronger,” says Elizabeth Walsh, a 20-year client. “I knew the best way for me was to be with experts and to have appointments I would not miss.”
There are no fads or gimmicks at One on One. It’s the home of sweat equity. Workouts for clients looking to reach their goals online or in-person are by appointment only.
“Every client has different goals and different issues to consider. We get it. We understand. We’re aware that getting started can feel overwhelming. Our aim is to simplify the process for you,” says Sandra. “Together, we’ll sit down and discuss your fitness goals, nutrition, health history, work schedule and so much more. This will allow us to custom design a solid fitness plan for you.”
Dreading more weight gain over the holidays? We can help! Call Sandra at One on One today at 403.244.9059 for your complimentary, in depth consultation.
