What’s the difference between a personal trainer and a kinesiologist?

Personal training certifications vary widely in their education and requirements. A Registered Kinesiologist has completed a post-secondary degree focused on human movement and exercise science, meets professional registration standards, and completes ongoing professional development to maintain their designation.

This additional education provides a deeper understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and how the body responds and adapts to movement and training.


Yes - as a registered kinesiologist, Cameron Bentley Fitness can provide Active Rehabilitation sessions for ICBC, as well as direct billing. Some insurance plans can also provide coverage for Active Rehabilitation sessions.

Do you work with ICBC claims?


Results depend on your starting point, goals, training frequency, nutrition, and consistency. Most people will notice improvements in strength, confidence, and how they feel within the first few weeks, while more significant changes in body composition and performance take longer. Rather than chasing quick results, the goal is to build a training approach you can consistently progress with over months and years.

How long does it take to see results?


Absolutely. Personal training can be especially valuable for beginners because it helps you build confidence and learn good habits from the start. You’ll learn how to use gym equipment, perform exercises with proper technique, and follow a structured program designed around your goals and current ability. The goal isn’t to get fit before starting personal training—it’s to meet you where you are and help you progress from there.
