We are excited about 2010 and the December 21st, 2009 announcement of the merger of Steve Nash Sports Centers with Fitness World. We are looking forward to outstanding opportunties for Lifemoves and our team as well as new ways to service our clients.
Lifemoves is now in its third year at the Steve Nash Fitness World in North Vancouver. We enjoy being part of the vibrant North Shore community and look forward to helping improve the quality of life of its residents. In September 2008 we welcomed Sahba Seifi to our team; she is currently completing her Masters in Biomedical Sciences and Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University.
In September 2009, Alfred's efforts were recognized by the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce as he became a finalist for the 2009 Business Excellence Awards in the Young Entrepreneur category.
In 1999, Alfred Ball was inspired by his first client, John, a quadriplegic who was dedicated to maintaining has much of his fitness as he could. Alfred volunteered as his Personal Trainer as part of a work experience for an Adapted Physical Activity course at UBC. His time with John extended into nearly two years of part-time work.
During this time Alfred noticed that there was a distinct lack of accessible facilities and equipment for people with disabilities and chronic diseases (this has gradually changed).
Since then, Alfred has had the vision of owning and operating a company dedicated to helping these groups that were notably under-serviced. For nearly eight years Alfred had the good fortune of learning and working at Fitness World, developing into one of their top Personal Trainers and Registered Kinesiologists.
In April 2007, Ann and Chris Frederick of Stretch to Win® gave him the final inspiration and confidence he needed to push his dreams forward and make the leap to his current role as President and founder of Life Moves Health and Fitness.
Life Moves Health and Fitness Inc., was founded in July 2007. Lifemoves® Health and Rehabilitation is a strategic partnership between Fitness World and Life Moves Health and Fitness Inc. Lifemoves® provides health, fitness, rehabilitation and lifestyle services to members and non-members transitioning from treatment to community fitness programs.
We are proud to have opened our first location in the North Van Fitness World in September 2007.
