Philosophy

I just moved back home to Winnipeg from having been in Vancouver/Calgary for the past 10 years. In Calgary I was teaching several classes (mom and baby, prenatal, spin, athletic pump, bootcamps, pure strength) through the City as well as personal training some clients/groups on the side.

As a busy (who isn’t?) single mom to Jack (4) who has type 1 diabetes and Henry (2) I reserve no time for excuses. Whatever I want, I go for it. There are many bumps along the road, but as I say to my 4 year old who is learning to skate... You fall, you put one leg up, you push on that leg and you get back up. I don’t take myself too seriously and I am learning to steer my life by what fills my heart with love.

Client base

I love training anyone who has decided it’s time to get real. I have had a wide range of participants - from a 76 year old gentleman “Wendy, I was pretty sore after your class” to a 30 something cop “You certainly kicked my butt” to a few 20 year old ladies who I’d always compliment them on their arms and ask them what they did “Your classes. These are your arms” ha ha.
