The Team

Ruby discovered yoga after just having moved to a new community in Northern Canada. With a husband that worked long hours, she felt isolated and disconnected while parenting a young child during the  long, cold winters, and short days. She often had to attend classes late at night or early in the morning (5am), but yoga is where she found her community. It was the start of a life long passion for wellness, and something she has incorporated into her daily life since. Ruby loves sharing the joy of yoga and is so excited to be able to bring her vision to Valemount.

Laura moved to Valemount in 2015 when her husband accepted a career opportunity that was too good to pass up. At the time, there were very few fitness offerings in town. That changed when a woman named Angela began offering bootcamp classes at the local high school. Through her classes, Laura discovered CrossFit and quickly fell in love with the challenge, community, and confidence it built.

After Angela moved away, our community was left with fewer fitness classes. Wanting to keep that momentum going, Laura earned her first Personal Training certification through CanFitPro. Soon after, COVID-19 put everything on hold, but Laura continued training at home while raising a young family.

Seeing the need for more fitness opportunities in Valemount inspired her to continue her education. Today, she holds certifications through ISSA in Personal Training, Group Fitness, Nutrition Coaching, and Foundations of Gymnastics.

When she's not coaching, you'll find her doing CrossFit, trail running, hiking, competing in Spartan races, practicing gymnastics, or training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

She believes fitness is a personal journey and that everyone deserves to find a form of movement they love. Her goal is to help people build confidence, strength, and healthy habits while discovering the joy that comes from moving their bodies.
