The key to improving one’s health and fitness is to start from the inside out, and to make achievable goals along the way.

Vanessa Pearson, PFT, AFLCA
Vanessa has been in the fitness industry since 2007. She believes that achieving your fitness goals is mostly in the heart and mind. Current fitness level and experience are not a factor in how hard you can train. Whether you are an elite athlete or you have never even touched a dumbbell, Vanessa will train everyone as equals. Everyone has that mental toughness within them required to push through that one last repetition or run that last distance regardless of fitness level. It is not about your level of fitness, it’s about how hard you will push yourself to achieve your desired gains.
Vanessa has experience training all ages and fitness levels from the high-school soccer player, to the senior citizen trying to better their lives. She will provide you with a training program suitable for your age group and fitness goals. Throughout her fitness training experience, she has learned to adapt/modify programs to suit any age group, as well as individuals with limitations due to injury. Her experience has allowed her to gain the creativity to create a program suitable for any function, career, or sport.
Vanessa has been in the Calgary Army Reserves since year 2009. She has been physically active since she was a small child.
