Sofia Rizzo, MA. CPT.

Coach Sof

I fell in love with training at a young age. My desire to train was initially nurtured by my desire to lose weight; I spent the greater portion of my teenage years feeling ashamed and guilty of my body. After trying (and succeeding) for years, I wanted to learn more about how bodies move, why they move, and the impact societal norms and pressures have on those individual decisions.

During post-secondary education I studied the hows and whys that bring people to fitness. After completing my Masters Degree, I continued my education in movement and training, and started coaching at PUSH Fitness - a locally owned and operated gym.

Over the years, I have continued to work with clients in person at PUSH Fitness - local to Thunder Bay - while building my remote coaching services to clients online. Whether you’re into heavy lifting or functional fitness, or are looking for some more guidance and support in your training, we can find an option that is best for you.

I have worked with a wide variety of individuals; all ranging in ages, abilities, lived experiences, injuries or goals!

I love getting to know my clients and helping them reach their full potential.

My hope is that you trust me to give you the tools and guide you along the way; in turn, I trust that you’re ready to learn!

Love how you train.

I have spent so many years doing what society and the fitness industry made me feel like I should be doing. I grew tired of training in a way that I hated, just because I felt like I should look a certain way. I found a way to train that I love and it has absolutely shaped who I am as a person. I firmly believe that our environment has a huge impact on well-being; if you love what you do and how you train, you’ll love who you are. This mentality will pour into every avenue of your life, not just the gym!
