YOUR OSTEOPOROSIS DIAGNOSIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SCARY ...

You need to prevent breaking bones by learning how to move properly in everyday life.
Join my Strong to the Bone Everyday online course and empowering yourself with knowledge!
WHAT IS STRONG TO THE BONE EVERYDAY?
Over the last 6 years of teaching this workshop virtually and in-person, I have developed this course as the first steps to better understanding how you can keep doing what you love with confidence.
I have worked with HUNDREDS of individuals newly diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Strong to the Bone Everyday delivers the information from my coaching calls and workshops to YOU, right now, regardless of where you are located on the globe.
Move through this video-based course at your own pace with this one-time purchase. This takes a minimum of 60 minutes to watch in it's entirety. If you want to dive deeper with the follow-along practical videos, plan for up to three hours. Rewind and rewatch as needed.
Learn your risk level ...
... and what to start, stop, and continue doing immediately.
Understand a safe spine position ...
... and start practicing it now! We talk about how to be spine sparing in your activities of daily living.
Balance 2.0
... because balance is more than standing on one foot when you are brushing your teeth.
Practice falling ...
... correctly! Just in case it happens, you can be better prepared with some low risk exercises.
Jumping for bones ...
... how to build up gradually, and who should proceed with caution.
Strength training ...
... and the research around how much is enough.
Join me for a LIVE Workshop
This OPTIONAL add-on allows you to submit your questions and practice these movements with ME in a live workshop, held virtually once a month! Only 10 spots available. You must complete the STTB Everyday workshop as a prerequisite to this meeting.
HI, I'M COACH TESSA ...
... a Bone Fit certified and ONERO licensee operating as a strength coach. I have a BSc in Clinical Exercise Science and an MSc in Exercise Science with a specialty in Human Performance.
I'm proud advocate for women over 50 who want to stay strong, confident, and independent for life. After working with hundreds of women diagnosed with low bone density, I realized how much confusion and fear are out there.
Too often, women are told to start lifting weights without any education on how. You CAN train to maintain/build bone, prevent falls, & increase confidence.
That’s why I created Strong to the Bone — a resource that teaches women how to strength train safely, move confidently, and build a body that supports them for years to come.
You’ll find videos on:
Safe, effective strength training for osteoporosis
Fall prevention & balance drills
Posture and spine-sparing movement mechanics
Bone-loading progressions for home or gym training
My mission? To help women stop feeling fragile — and start feeling strong to the bone.

What CLIENTS Say
You'll notice that a number of these reviews are from clients who attend my brick & mortar gym ... they are why I want to share Strong to the Bone with YOU, virtually!
"Tessa is amazing. Her knowledge on the subject is exceptional. She was so easy to talk to and her follow-up is detailed and tremendously helpful. She knows her stuff!" - Maryanne
"Since moving to BC, I have missed going to the actual zeal gym, but the virtual workouts are fantastic! Tessa and her crew do a great job!" - Penny
"Don't worry about your age! I'm well into my 70s and Tessa has kept me strong and moving forward." - Deb
"Now it's 2026- I've been going here 3x per week for three (3) years now. WOW! Best I've ever felt in over 2 decades. I'm so strong now. My posture is way better. My cardio is improving just by doing weight resistance training. Do yourself a favor and join and invest in a stronger healthier more fun version of your future self. Aging doesn't have to mean slowing down." - Richelle
"Three years ago I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and told to lift weights. I found Zeal through the website of Osteoporosis Canada Bone Fit Locator. This is where you find personal trainers specifically certified to work with Osteoporosis patients." - Diane
" After receiving my bone density results from my doctor, I wanted to increase my bone density and strength, to avoid taking medications for my osteoporosis. I've never been to a gym and I knew it was time for me to start looking after my health. My doctor recommended that I go to Zeal and meet with Tessa. It was the best thing I could have done for myself!" - Maria
"I hesitantly came to Zeal looking for a way to increase strength and bone density in a way that was safe for a person with osteoporosis. Hesitant because I'm not a gym person and am starting this journey at age 64. Tessa and all the staff were so welcoming and encouraging. The program and workouts were exactly what I needed and they made it fun! They have many ways to keep strength and balance exercising interesting and fun. There's always something new. I am stronger and feeling good." - Julie
"I started coming here in February 2025 after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. Anxious to do whatever I could, especially to avoid meds, I jumped onto the osteoporosis Canada site. They recommended seeing an osteofit trainer which I found at Zeal. I went to a bonefit workshop to learn about bone safe movement and signed up to amall group strength training 12 week session right away. I learned that building muscle builds bone!!" - Madeleine
"My Sports Medicine doctor referred me to Tessa ... for an in home exercise program designed to correct and re-train muscles that were not functioning properly. During my assessment, Tessa determined what exercises were required to 'fix' my issues and trained me on how to perform them properly. She emailed my training program and included instructional videos. This exercise program was easy to incorporate into my fitness routine. A short two weeks later, I noticed positive results, now 6 weeks later, the results keep getting better. I'm confident that I will continue to have excellent results and my issues will be fixed. I highly recommend Tessa ... she is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has an amazing bubbly and positive personality." - Karon
