Energized4Life Fitness all started because I wanted to pay it forward after a personal trainer helped me back to an active way of life post-injury. I always said that when I grew up and got a real job I would be a personal trainer. So I guess I grew up in 2008, because I attended the Australian Institute of Fitness and obtained my Master Personal Trainer Certificate. I stayed in Australia working at Fitness Kick with great mentors for 6 months before moving back to Canada. I then became Canfit Pro certified and continued with my mission to help people feel on top of their worlds.
In January 2010, I started Energized4Life Fitness in Calgary, Alberta after living in Edmonton my whole life (yes, I moved to Calgary for a “boy” who is now my husband). From the very beginning, I knew that the only way to truly help my clients achieve their goals would be to involve nutrition coaching. I found the Precision Nutrition offline coaching system and started helping clients through the program. When Precision Nutrition came out with certifications, I jumped on the opportunity to be able to help my clients to reach the next level. In March 2016, I completed the Master’s Level Precision Nutrition coaching certificate and I now feel like I have an invincible tool box full of tools to help clients reach their full potential.
In 2014, my husband and I welcomed our little boy (aka our #dictator) into the world. I was left at a crossroads of wanting to continue to help people to reach their full potential and being the best mom I could be. Throughout 2015 we tried a few different approaches, and though I managed to keep my clients progressing towards their goals, I was unable to find the time to help more clients.
In 2016, we decided that something had to change, and we resolved to launch our new online coaching program for both nutrition and personal training! This is a new habit based venture that we are really excited about and that clients are already enjoying.
In 2020, we all know what happened. Luckily Energized4Life Fitness was 70 % online already and was able to streamline the rest of our clients into online training.
