About Us

Train For Life Fitness & Lifestyle Consulting is a local Saskatoon company owned by Andrea Doepker, B.Sc.Kin.  We have provided mobile personal training and fitness services to Saskatoon and surrounding areas from September 2007- September 2009. In October 2009, we opened our doors to our private in-home fitness studio located at 2230 Albert Avenue, Saskatoon, Sk, to provide you with a personalized and private setting.

Train For Life is now providing all personal training and semi-private group training services from the private in-home fitness studio. This facility features cardio equipment such as a treadmill and spin bike, strength training equipment as well as stability equipment such as balls, bosu and TRX Suspension Trainers. We offer a separate quiet room that has a "zen" like feel to stretch, breathe and relax as part of or following your personal training session. Our studio also includes a fully stocked shower and towel service for your convenience.

Train For Life offers a Positive Space environment.
