Open to Members 24/7 Anytime Fitness gym in Calgary Elbow Dr SW

“ I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 26 yrs helping others reach their fitness goals. There have been many passions that stem from my relationship with fitness. All my life I’ve established a highly disciplined physical regimen, so shifting this lifestyle brought self fulfillment & adoration for bodybuilding. Success in the sport transcended to winning numerous competitions & eventually receiving my PRO card. This also led to becoming a nutrition specialist for contest/athletic event dieting. I now had the pedigree as a knowledgeable & well-rounded personal trainer to pass on my expertise to see clients attain their fitness goals they thought could never be achieved. My approach derives from maintaining an easy going but focused & driven relationship toward my clients. A practice that is rooted from my ultimate passion, mix martial arts. A teacher of Krav Maga, Wing Chun, Systema & other similar self defenses, I hope to change lives the same way I have as a personal trainer."

I’ve been training since 2014 and competed in bikini bodybuilding in 2021 and 2023. I know what it takes to stay consistent, push through the hard days, and keep showing up when motivation isn’t there. Outside the gym, I love reading, hiking, paddle boarding, and embroidery. I’m passionate about strength training and pull-ups, but my biggest passion is helping people believe they’re stronger than they think. At Anytime Fitness, I’ll meet you where you are, create a plan around your goals, and challenge you to become better every time you walk through the doors. No judgment, no guesswork, just support, accountability, and purposeful training. “IF MONDAY IS YOUR START DATE, YOU ARE ALREADY BEHIND.” Don’t wait for Monday. Don’t wait for motivation. Book a session with me, show up, and let’s get to work. I’ll bring the plan, push, and accountability, you bring yourself.

I grew up in a small rural town where fitness & sports were a continual part of my life. I was interested in a variety of sports however, swimming & running became my main activities. Being married to an RCMP Officer for over forty years, I have had the privilege of living in a variety of communities & experiencing several interesting occupations from pool management to Flight Attendant. All these opportunities have continued to connect me to the wellness world. I have lived in Haysboro for close to 20 years & boast being the first person to become a member of this gym. I always look forward to hearing your life story & how the world of fitness/wellness has influenced you.

Fitness has always been a big part of my life. From a young age into adulthood, I trained in Tae Kwon Do, where I learned discipline, confidence, and the importance of never giving up. After an injury put my fitness journey on hold, I experienced firsthand how challenging it can be to start over. Now that I’m getting back to doing what I love, I’m excited to help others do the same. Whether you’re brand new to the gym or getting back into a routine, my goal is to make you feel welcome, supported, and confident every step of the way. I believe fitness is about so much more than physical results; it’s about building confidence, feeling stronger, and becoming the best version of yourself.

Always having been involved in sports such as baseball, basketball, track & field & swimming competitively, I became certified as a personal trainer, fitness instructor, fitness manager, Anytime Fitness club manager, and owned 2 F45 locations in the Calgary area. I have had a very successful career that has now spanned over the last 30 plus years with some of the leading health club, boutique studios in Calgary and Edmonton. I have a strong background in boxing, running, cycling, high intensity workouts and helping new members with no experience feel comfortable in a health club, get results, and help make this lifestyle that I love become, their own. My personal passion is running races at all distances, but my favorite is doing half marathons for which I have completed 100 half marathons this year and plan on accomplishing more. If not at the gym, you can find me running around this wonderful city.
