Our Story
Higher Standards Lifestyle was born from two very different but equally powerful journeys. Kyle started as an overweight teenager who found strength and self-respect through weight training, eventually becoming a Professional Strongman competitor. Melissa was a competitive figure skater who, after becoming a mom, felt lost and overwhelmed in the gym.
Together, they've combined their unique experiences to create a fitness system that speaks to real people with real struggles. Kyle brings the strength training expertise and business acumen from running Nexus Health & Fitness Centre, while Melissa brings the empathy and understanding of what it's like to feel intimidated by fitness.
Their mission is simple: to help people raise their standards, transform their routines, and lead with confidence. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, they've built a system that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
