September 2, 2009 – One of Nelson’s newest and youngest entrepreneurs is having a grand opening on September 12 and everyone who’s interested in their own health and fitness is invited. Ali Popoff, the 22-year-old owner of Kutenais Finest Personal Training, has launched a new and unique company that incorporates fitness training, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, trigger point release and energy physiology.
Ali is a Nelson native and certified C.H.E.K Exercise Coach who has a passion for wellness. Her clientele range in age from 14 to 63 and each one is given a personalized program designed specifically for their own needs, whether it be injury rehabilitation, athletic training or better body awareness.
“I am able to recognize and identify different postural sets and faulty movement patterns that are created by bad habits,” she says. “I’ve studied various techniques and have taken the most successful parts of all of them and now incorporate them into my training style.”
Aside from exercise regimens, Ali’s business also employs practitioners Shawna Urbanski, a specialist in trigger point release technique, Paul Gaucher, an acupuncturist and doctor of Chinese medicine and Energy Physiologist Colli Christante. Each specializes in a particular area of health ensuring clients receive a complete and systematic fitness regimen.
“My enthusiasm for fitness began while on my own journey towards better health,” Ali says. “As a kid I weighed over 200 pounds and I ate to hide my emotions. As I started to get fit, I realized how challenging my life was growing up overweight. My compassion for people is endless because of my experiences. I have the ability to make people comfortable in any situation and I take pride in that.”
The Grand Opening of Kutenais Finest Personal Training will happen on Saturday September 12th between 12 and 2pm at the Summit Health and Fitness, 685B Baker St, Nelson. Everyone is invited to see the new clinic and meet the practitioners. Fresh fruit and appetizers will be served.
