Online ZOOM CLasses
I always feel limbered up and energized – it’s also great for stress release. Good mix of cardio, strength, flexibility and balance exercises. It’s enjoyable – time for laughter too. Appreciate advice on how to deal with problem areas – (eg. sprains, back pain). Appreciate that exercises are adjusted to individual ability and need. The exercises have helped me manage my scoliosis and sciatica.
– Dorothea C.
“After a class I feel like a superstar! Injuries are addressed and exercises are modified to help heal the achy areas. Proper techniques are stressed to avoid injuries. Our class is like a family. We laugh, we learn about anatomy and nutrition, and we exercise together for a short 60 minutes!”
– Doreen F.
“Tonia has been my personal trainer for the past 5 years. If it wasn’t for her I’m sure I would be walking with a cane. I’m more flexible I walk more and do more. It’s made my quality of life better. She is a wonderful person so – so caring and passionate about helping people. I couldn’t make it without her.”

“Tonia’s personal training program has been incredibly helpful to me as I work to counteract nerve damage from post-polio syndrome. Her positive , enthusiastic , encouragement is a real motivator to keep me going!”
– Allan S.
“As a 78 year old retiree with two full knee replacements and one hip replacement ,I am so very grateful for my twice weekly Zoom Functional Fitness classes with Tonia Leske. The session tapes are also provided to the participants so we can have availability of further exercise to fit our personal schedules.
I first signed up with Tonia almost two years ago after discovering her through a Zoom class offered through ELLA during Covid.
These Zoom classes are invaluable to Seniors like me who would otherwise not be exposed to the kind of exercise that is necessary to help us recuperate and keep us as fit as possible at this stage of our lives.
Tonia adapts each exercise for those of us with a variety of limitations so we can fully benefit from each session.
I strongly recommend Tonia’s class for seniors and others who will benefit greatly from this type of exercise.”
I have been doing Tonia’s online classes since I met her in 2021 through the Edmonton Lifelong Learners Association (ELLA). As well as keeping me physically active, her classes helped me to stay positive during the Covid lockdown.
She focuses on functional movements, which target balance, stretching, cardio, and strength. She gives lots of modifications for injuries, surgeries, and arthritic joints, and lots of suggestions for doing the exercises when you have hurt your back or are out walking in different conditions like snow, ice or on sidewalks.
She is always encouraging and has a great sense of humour. It’s also fun to see her pets wandering in and out.
I am in my 70s and can still get up and down on the floor to play with my grandchildren and to run around with them in the backyard.
Tonia records the classes so you can watch them later if you can’t make it live.
I really enjoy her workouts and hope to keep doing them for a long time.”
