The LearnFit Team

Cole Learn

I take A LOT of pride in what I do. There is often times when I finish coaching a class and think to myself 'I could have been better here'.

Every person is different, and different people require different techniques. Becoming a great coach requires you to be able to tap into each individual and quickly make a decision on where to go.

I love coaching because there is always ways to improve. I will never get to a point where I will say to myself 'I have learned all that I need.' I am constantly trying to seek out new cues and techniques to help athletes become the best version of themselves.

Certifications include:
CrossFit Level 1
CrossFit Level 2

Krista Norrish

My love for fitness initially started from experiencing back pain working a desk job and having scoliosis. I went to the gym to strengthen my body and I was no longer in pain. Fitness is such an important part of my lifestyle mentally and physically. I love being around a community of people that truly just wants the best for each other.

I received my CrossFit Level 1 in 2020. I look forward to helping you achieve your fitness goals!

Coach Certified Personal Trainer

Fitness training has always been a large part of my life...from competing as a AAA Fastball pitcher and training my son's National Championship Fastball team, to obtaining my Personal Trainer Certification in 2014 through the Sports Performance Institute. I have been active in a variety of fitness training programs over the years and enjoy overcoming the personal challenges that I have set for myself. My biggest motivations are the building of friendships and the satisfaction of helping my clients achieve their fitness goals. I am pleased to be one of the Coaches on the LearnFit team and look forward to meeting with our members.

Susan DRUmmond

Hi y’all, my name is Susan Drummond. I am a mom of 2 active boys, a Regulated Pharmacy Technician at the Kincardine Hospital, and one of your coaches a LearnFit Strength and Conditioning. I am a very active person and anything fitness has always been interesting to me. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to play on many different sports teams and was an avid long distance track runner. Any form of athletic activity has always been my favorite pastime outside the gym.

I heard about strength and conditioning classes from a friend a couple years ago. It sounded intriguing to me. I had to try it out. Best decision I ever made. The coaches. The community. The fitness. Everything about these group classes was perfect. It took one class and I knew, this was what I would be passionate about. When asked if I would be interested in coaching, the answer was a quick yes. I successfully completed the CrossFit Level 1 course and now my focus is to assist each individual at their own level, to push through barriers and reach their fitness goals. I strive to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters positive energy and success for everyone. I’m honored and grateful to be part of the LearnFit team and such a great fitness community.

Laura Klingenberg

Ever since I could remember I’ve been highly involved in competitive sport, till I decided to focus solely on rugby. From there I moved out to Nova Scotia where I continued to play at Acadia and study Kinesiology. After graduation I went straight into Personal Training and a couple summers of coaching rugby, before leading me to CrossFit which, soon after, I fell in love and began coaching.

Throughout my experiences I’ve learned the importance good coaching, and movement integrity has on increasing performance, which is what I aim to provide. Working out is so much more then pushing weight and going fast, there’s a technical side which I love, and continuously look to improve whether in myself, or when I’m coaching.
