Our Team and What We'll Accomplish Together
Our Vancouver clinic is a dynamic team of health professionals—including physicians, nurses, wellness coaches, and kinesiologists—dedicated to delivering comprehensive health assessments and personalized wellness guidance.
As a Kinesiologist, you'll be the first touchpoint for clients beginning their health transformation journey. Your comprehensive fitness assessments and one-on-one coaching sessions directly shape their path to better health. You'll work alongside physicians to interpret clinical findings, collaborate with wellness coaches to align fitness recommendations, and partner with administrative staff to ensure seamless client care and follow-up.
This is a role where clinical expertise meets genuine human connection, where your assessments don't just measure health metrics; they inspire clients to take ownership of their wellness.

- Perform clinical testing, including ECG setup, stress testing, blood pressure monitoring, spirometry, vision, and hearing assessments—ensuring client safety throughout and responding promptly to any abnormalities
- Conduct comprehensive fitness assessments (VO2 max testing, functional movement screening, body composition analysis) to establish baseline health metrics and identify personalized recommendations for each client
- Review and interpret results from stress and resting ECGs, consulting professionally with physicians on any findings that require clinical attention
- Provide personalized client coaching, explaining assessment results in clear, accessible language and answering questions about fitness recommendations and health goals
- Conduct ergonomic assessments for occupational health clients, identifying workplace adjustments to support their wellbeing
- Maintain equipment to ensure all testing tools meet regulatory standards and are ready for daily use
- Travel to off-site locations when required to deliver assessments at corporate wellness programs or specialized clinics
