Deanna

Fitness Instructor

With more than seven years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, I am passionate about helping individuals build healthy, active lifestyles and achieve their personal wellness goals. I hold certifications as a CanFitPro Personal Training Specialist and Fitness Instructor Specialist, and have had the privilege of working in both leadership and coaching roles throughout my career.

Prior to my current role, I spent several years with the YMCA, where I worked full-time in fitness and wellness and served as a Fitness Lead and Coordinator. This experience allowed me to develop a strong foundation in program leadership, member engagement, and creating inclusive environments that support people of all ages and abilities.

Originally from Collingwood, I am a proud single mother who understands the importance of balancing health, family, and everyday life. Community, connection, and well-being are at the heart of everything I do. I believe fitness should be accessible, enjoyable, and empowering, and I am committed to helping others feel confident, supported, and motivated on their wellness journey.

Whether leading group fitness classes or working one-on-one with participants, I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged to move, grow, and thrive.
