“ 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."

My coaching philosophy is simple: motion is lotion. When we move, we feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally. I aim to create a training environment that’s supportive, encouraging, and grounded in good technique. I want people to feel capable, confident, and proud of the work they put in.Whether you’re building performance, improving your fitness, or just looking for a healthier routine, I’m here to guide you with patience, push you with purpose, and celebrate every step forward.Let’s get moving, your future self will thank you.

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.

For years I have been quietly observing the fitness community, sticking my feet in every so often to try motivating myself to become consistent. I am a firm believer that there are many benefits to being active. Fitness is more than crafting an aesthetically attractive body – it builds confidence, community, and is a great way to bring peace into your life. Personally, I believe exercise could be likened to meditation. Movement is gods greatest medicine.

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.
