Ardian Ansaldo

Staff

I first joined Anytime Fitness as a member after finally taking the first step on the road to a healthier body. I was at 38% body fat at 225lbs, borderline diabetic, and hypertensive. Because of the guidance of trainers and the culture of Anytime Fitness, I committed to this new lifestyle and today I am down to 24% Body fat, 200lbs and now experiencing normal metabolic levels. It’s because of this culture that I joined the Anytime Fitness team. I want to share this new found joy and experience with others and hopefully, they too can experience how wonderful it is to be part of the Anytime Fitness community.

Edgar Garcia

Staff

I've always loved to be active since I was a kid. I played multiple sports in my high school years, such as soccer, volleyball, and Track-and-field. I could say those are the best memories I have as a teenager. So as I finished high school, I had one goal in mind, and that was to gain some muscle mass. I started my first gym membership with Anytime Fitness at the Kingsway location. For three years I was training five times a week. I am not going to lie, there were times where I lost my motivation, but I kept saying to myself “I don’t want to be that skinny kid anymore.” And that’s what kept me going. In three years I went from weighing 120lbs to 150lbs with lean muscle mass. Fitness has helped me shape myself into the person I am today. Not only the physically but mentally as well. I taught myself to be disciplined and to work hard for what I want. Now I feel as healthy as I can be and super confident in myself.

As an H2i (Hired to inspire) at Anytime Fitness West End, my goal is to inspire others to fight. Of course, I don’t mean literally fight;I want to help others fight to achieve their personal goals and fight to be the best version of themselves possible. I started my own fitness journey about four years ago. I started my journey on the wrong path due to the lack of knowledge; however, just like everyone else, I learned from my mistakes and kept pushing forward. Anytime Fitness is an incredible company who values each individual for who they are and offers amazing opportunities for improvement and knowledge. Anytime Fitness consists of a team of professionals who work together to provide the best possible service for our members and I am fortunate enough to say that I am apart of this dream team. Together we create unity. Together we create a family. Don’t be a quitter, be a fighter.

Specialities: HIIT Training; Boxing; Strength and conditioning; Weight loss; Bodybuilding; Endurance Training. After 10 years of an amateur boxing career, sport and physical fitness became an integral parts of my life. I also have done kettlebell lifting competitively, and truly believe that this type of physical activity can improve all fitness components. Before I came to Canada, I trained boxing athletes for several years in Ukraine with my coach. I also trained amateur boxing athletes in British Columbia, and after this experience I decided to go to school in order to extend my knowledge. Helping people enjoy living active lives, achieve their fitness goals, and educate them how to live healthier makes me happy. The best part of my job is to see how people like the results of their training, and how they mentally relax from daily routine by coming to the gym.
