Kinplus is expanding in 2023

How it began

Kinplus started as an idea on a napkin with my twin brother Derek

Having both been experienced with the allied health care system because of setbacks in running. We often found ourselves in the middle of debates in a health care ethics class during university.

We had very different experiences than our peers. It's this debate that sparked something in me about what Kinesiologists COULD BE.

​Our interested diverged, but never far. Kin+ was born in 2015. The name represents 'kin' as brothers related, and for years Registered Kinesiologists were known as 'kins'. The + symbol plus, represented the extraordinary attention to detail, value and service we wanted to provide clients.

​I started bootstrapping the business thanks to the support of my mentors, family and friends. For a few years, I taught fitness classes and performed house calls. Ultimately, I felt like I had the support I needed to start something independent. I rebranded the logo in 2018 to represent a more professional feel.

In January 2020, I began renovations on a leased space and planned to open in March 2020. The pandemic hit the health and wellness industry particularly hard. Kinplus persevered thanks to the support of my clients and family.

Now another opportunity has presented itself to me. In 2023, Kinplus will be expanding to the unit next door and now will occupy all of 7 Henrietta Street. This new expanded space will allow me to bring in more professionals to add value to our client's wellness journey.

My hope, in sharing this journey, is to demonstrate to the community that there are professionals out there that are determined to provide care in the face of adversity. Currently, Kinplus is the ONLY Kinesiology Studio in Niagara. We want to reach more people and make a positive impact on their dreams in 2023.
