Dick Wilks


VO2 max Assessments


dick
Dick has always regarded fitness as an important part of his lifestyle. His fitness career began as a competitive tennis player, but he soon discovered that long distance running provided a much higher level of fitness than others sports he had participated in. As a result, he has completed 8 marathons, 10 half marathons, and numerous other long and short distance races. In 2000, Dick qualified for and ran in the prestigious Boston Marathon. Currently, Dick instructs the half marathon clinic at the Burlington Running Room.

Dick coaches all levels of runners and bases his training programs on the use of a Maximum VO2 Assessment. This provides his clients with accurate measurement of their peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, fitness level, and caloric burn rates. By using this assessment in conjunction with a heart rate monitor, an athlete can train smarter, not harder!

Dick will be performing VO2 max Assessments at Active Sport & Health Centre and is available for appointments on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am to 3:00pm, and Monday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00pm.

Registered Massage Therapist

From the beginning of my Athletic Therapy and Registered Massage Therapy career I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clientele, from the weekend warrior to elite level professional athletes.

I currently work in the Canadian Soccer League and enjoy the challenge of rehabilitating injuries and returning athletes to participation. Working with a wide variety of people has allowed me to think outside of the box and work with an array of modalities such as hydrotherapy, stretching, and active rehabilitation to reach a client’s goals.

I believe that knowledge is the key to treatment, rehabilitation, and the prevention of future injuries. Understanding the true cause of a problem allows you to prevent secondary complications and prevent further injuries.
