Why is Lifemoves Changing the Landscape for Fitness and Rehab for Neurodivergent Burnaby Residents?
For nearly 30 years, Lifemoves' founder, kinesiologist Alfred, always knew that many work environments didn't suit his nervous system and brain and that these places didn't function well for clients with ADHD or autism.
Independent personal training studios are crowded with music blaring. Multi-disciplinary clinics often have small treatment rooms that are not soundproof. The neurodivergent community in the Lower Mainland needed something different.
Everything started to come together and make sense in the fall of 2024. Alfred was diagnosed with ADHD. Just a few months later, the studio where Lifemoves was renting informed him that they were closing at the end of February, 2025.
After six weeks of knocking on doors and reconnecting with old contacts, Alfred was fortunate to secure a lease for 6123 Hastings St, Unit 200B, in March 2025. Although the space had been unoccupied for nearly eight years, Alfred saw the potential to create a neuronclusive gym and rehabilitation space in Burnaby.
It took nearly six months of pushing past his capacity and asking friends and family for help to freshen it up enough to welcome new clients. Like life, it is a work in progress. We are using biophilic and neuronclusive design for concepts for the physical space. Additionally, we are continuously updating our website and operational procedures to be as accessible and as inclusive as possible.
What Do Lifemoves' Clients Say About Their Experiences?
Our clients have many positive life-changing stories to tell. We've shared some below. Do you relate to any of these client stories?
Alfred brought new awareness to my posture – sitting, standing, lying for sleep, walking and moving. This, along with awareness around how I could breathe differently during all that I would do in a day, improved my quality of life immensely.
I discovered a path that offers a level of physical and mental support that I look forward to and am excited to have in my life again

With the added complication of cognitive deficit and reduced messaging signals to my muscles, it is critical for me to focus on verbal instruction and physical cues.
A quiet space with the necessary equipment allows you to focus and leave the session with a much clearer physical and mental picture of what you will be doing at home.

Alfred was diagnosed with ADHD in the fall of 2024. A few months later, he learned that the personal training space he was renting from was closing.
During his search for a new location, he was offered a temporary lease at the corner of Fell Avenue and Hastings St in North Burnaby.
Instead, Alfred recognized the opportunity to fill a gap in health care for people with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.
He decided to open Burnaby's first neuroinclusive and neuroaffirming health care, wellness, and fitness studio, located across from Kensington Park, for patients and practitioners.
The benefits from Kinesiology I have received are relief from positional discomfort during my work day and after, an increase in strength and fitness and knowledge and confidence to exercise without injuring myself. In addition to these, kinesiology has assisted me in returning to other activities including tennis which had become difficult
