#prenuvo

In August, I started a new role at Prenuvo — a preventative health-tech company based in Vancouver, BC.

Prenuvo offers a technologically advanced physical with a boutique spa-like experience. No more “what-ifs” with a proactive whole-body MRI screening for cancers (as early as stage 1), tumours, aneurysms and 500 other conditions.

#changinggears

I was fortunate to spend time with a premium fitness company that made work fun again! Working at the Canadian flagship showroom in the heart of downtown Vancouver (Robson Street), I was able to showcase my ability to provide the best possible customer experience and interaction. This helped me to reaffirm my strength in delivering exceptional service to my clients.

“Eric was very helpful and extremely wonderful. Answered every question I had. A bespoke experience; one on one customer service.”

“I had been meaning to get back into shape for over a decade. One day, instead of walking past the Peloton store, I went inside.

I expected to feel fat and intimidated. It was the exact opposite. It’s hard to explain how comfortable and at ease he made me feel. Eric was the first person I spoke to. He was so warm and understanding. I explained my goals and my reservations. He walked me through the whole process, providing me with all my options. He didn’t try to up sell, or pressure me. He just made my decisions easy and straight forward.

That was 2 months ago. I have lost almost 20 pounds. I have never felt better. I know I did the work. But, if Eric had been the way I feared he would be, I’d never have followed through.”

“Peloton Van is AWESOME! Eric was a rock star from the second I walked in. Super friendly, helpful, and set me up to do a ride in-store. Loved every second and will def be back. Thank you Eric & staff!”
