My name is AJ Hussey. In 2007, I graduated from the culinary arts program at Academy Canada and since then I have won numerous awards for my skills as a cook. Over the next 6 years, I worked in the food industry in various capacities including managing some fabulous restaurants. Although preparing delicious food for others is one of my greatest passions, my own eating habits suffered as a result of the fast-paced work atmosphere.
I eventually found myself overweight at 275 lbs. and needed help to get my weight under control. That’s when I decided to hit the gym! I was determined to lose the weight but needed some direction, so I asked to speak with a personal trainer. I was so excited to get started until the trainer told me their rate. Although I think there is a place for these services, I was not in the financial position to acquire them.
I have always had a passion for fitness, but knew that I would need the proper guidance to exercise correctly and get the most out of each workout. It was apparent that in order for me to lose the weight I wanted to lose I would have to take matters into my own hands! The first step was eating right. I realized that with my background specializing in the culinary arts, I had the skills I needed to turn my favorite meals and recipes into healthy and delicious alternatives. That’s when I took it to the next level. I wanted to share my passion for both the culinary arts and Healthy Living with people just like me; so I took the steps to also become a nutrition. This training provided me with the skills that I could apply in my training routine to fully reach my goals. With this new-found knowledge of the human body combined with creative cooking, I am proud to say that I lost over 75 lbs.!
Now I want to help others feel this amazing sense of pride and accomplishment. This is why I’ve decided to provide a unique experience that not only offers nutrition training but the option of obtaining healthy cooking skills right in your own kitchen! I feel that everyone should have the opportunity to live a healthy and energetic lifestyle, without paying outrageous costs for a personal trainer. Through this latest venture, I can help people live healthily!

Coach AJ
