Cliff Elarco

Manager

“ I've been fortunate to be working in the fitness industry for 15 years and currently have the honor of being the Manager of the Anytime Fitness in the community of Haysboro. Starting off as an ambitious personal trainer success came early by perfecting the ability to inspire my clients to engage in physical, and mental obstacles. I evolved from working as a one-on-one trainer to also becoming a group trainer incorporating a bootcamp style program that has evolved to become the challenging team group training program it is today. As I've stepped into a managerial role, I now take great pride in being the face of the gym. Understanding that a fitness club is an interactive dynamic environment I have shifted my energy to inspire others in a different way. Providing a positive and uplifting attitude to others, taking the time to listen and offer solutions on a fitness level and being a day-to-day problem solver in the club, I've evolved to better understand all our members. “

At 15 my mom had signed me up at her gym for a free summer membership and it ended up being one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I wanted to be healthier, feel better, and live for a long time, so I made working out a priority that summer and hoped to make it a lifestyle. Shortly after that summer, I found my love for running and went on to take part in 10k and half marathons. However, after a few years of pushing my body to extremes, I kept finding myself in physiotherapy with reoccurring injuries and muscle imbalances. It was during these sessions that they taught me the importance of strength training, recovery and nutrition. Long story short, I grew a strong passion for the gym and an even stronger passion for nutrition. I am so grateful to be a part of the Anytime Fitness Westsprings family where I can share my passion and knowledge with others and work with amazing staff who are genuinely interested in making people’s lives healthier and happier.

“ 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."

Sydney Day

Trainer

My story starts in central America Panama. I found the joy in adventure and new things whether it be surfing, zip lining, climbing trees to get mangos for breakfast, or just enjoying the culture. Me & the family moved back to Calgary when I was 15. I went straight to SAIT for Culinary arts after high school. While at SAIT I had a nutrition class in my culinary program & that changed everything. I graduated from SAIT with a Culinary Arts Diploma & a Nutrition Diploma, then shifting my perspective to fitness & I fell in love with movement. Currently I am in the Personal Fitness Training program at Mount Royal University. I have struggled with health issues throughout my life & these programs helped me to understand the how & why of why my body reacts to certain foods. I am so lucky to get to use all 3 of my programs to help my future clients be their healthiest self, & help them see things from a food, nutrition & physical activity perspective.

Trainer

“Sports have been in my life as far back as I can remember. From baseball, to hockey, to football, to rugby & martial arts. There has always been something to train for. Now I train because I just like to train. I have been a personal trainer now for over 18 years. I have almost 20 different certifications or diplomas, personal training, strength and conditioning, rehabilitation specialist, post pardem, TRX, kettlebells, and nutrition to name a few. I believe in an always changing and evolving industry that the is always something to learn and always something to teach. There are so many different ways to help someone achieve their goals. With my extensive knowledge, experience and constant positive attitude, I believe I can help anyone get to where they want or need to be. It is my goal to make sure that everyone leaves here in a better mood than when they got here. Even if they are crawling out of the building, I want them leaving with an ear to ear smile.”
