ABOUT DE NOVO FITNESS
We know how hard it is to take the initial plunge and start. The gym can be a very intimidating place; you're left wondering if you're performing the exercise with the right technique, struggling to find a plan that will work for your goals, and all amongst people who seem to know what they're doing in a big, crowded gym. We see you and we're here to help.
​
De Novo Fitness was built on the foundation to educate people just like you who are starting their fitness journey and need some guidance in a calm, encouraging, judgement- free environment where you are allowed to make mistakes. Everyone has to start somewhere and we are here to help you through your fitness journey to gain the confidence, understanding, and motivation to go out there on your own and feel good about it!
​
We understand that no fitness journey is the same and we will help you find the right starting point for your individual situation based on your lifestyle needs and goals. 'De Novo' means to anew or begin again, and we are prepared to make the transition easier on your new endeavour.
