Personal Training

Everyone can benefit from a session with one of our highly qualified trainers.

If you want more help, multiple sessions provide motivation and on-going feedback, continually assessing your strength, endurance and flexibility – in essence improving the effectiveness of your workouts. No matter what your needs and goals, personal trainers can provide you with a safe, informative and results-oriented environment in which to exercise.

Our trainers are amongst the most qualified in Calgary. Every personal trainer possesses a university degree in Kinesiology, Physical Activity or similar field, plus holds national and internationally recognized post-graduate certifications in exercise prescription and testing.

Brenda Keller

Education: PFT (MRC personal fitness trainer)
Certification: CSEP – CPT (certified personal trainer), AFLCA (group fitness / strength and conditioning)

Brenda has been a part of the fitness industry since 1994 through sports coaching and group fitness instruction. After graduating from MRC with a personal fitness trainer diploma in 2001, she became a full-time personal trainer.

Brenda prides herself in providing her clients with the most up-to-date information; new, fun and exciting workout programs; and her support. Her overall goal is to create an atmosphere of positive thinking where her clients can be pushed to go beyond where they think they can go, to achieve those things they think are impossible to accomplish. Acknowledging those days when energy levels might be low, or life-stresses are getting her clients down, she helps them to maintain consistency in their training habits, which is key for long-term success.

As an individual who has struggled with her own body weight issues, she has a passion and understanding for those going through their own weight loss / maintenance journey. Working with clients to assist them in nutritional decisions, encouraging their growth and providing them with a number of ways to achieve their lifestyle goals is what she strives to do.

Brenda has worked with individuals with acute injuries, pre/post-natal care concerns, and a variety of physical limitations; as well as with those with chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Other practitioners, such as physiotherapists, massage therapists and chiropractors, may have a vital role in the training capabilities of her clients; therefore working with the advice of the treating practitioner is always a consideration.

In her free time she loves kickboxing, traveling, and spending time outside. Her two boys are the highlight of her life and she takes every opportunity possible to spend time with them. When she’s looking to kick-back, she enjoys scrapbooking, and relaxing with a great cup of coffee, or maybe a glass of wine.

Tara Luterbach

Education: Bachelor of Kinesiology- Mind Sciences, University of Calgary

Certification: CSEP-CEP (Clinical Exercise Physiologist)

Tara started working at a gym when she was 16 years old. Helping on weekends when she wasn’t traveling for sports. She has always had a fascination with the human body and how people defy the odds and break barriers. While at University, she was on the rowing team and learned to speed skate at the time. She also worked at the University of Calgary’s Fitness Centre while going to school.

Upon completing her education, she was offered a position to be an Assistant Coordinator at the Rehab and Fitness Program at the U of C. While working in this position she oversaw over 90 participants in the program!!! She helped design their programs to work towards their goals and was lucky enough to have several student volunteers to help the members with their programs. Seeking new challenges and adventures she started working downtown Calgary at various gyms. Due to her background, she was able to work with individuals that may have been recovering from an injury or who may have had a chronic injury. She has worked alongside their chiropractor or physio to strengthen them safely to obtain their goals.

She is a highly sought after trainer in downtown Calgary, working with beginners, to individuals who may need a more unique approach to their health and wellness routine.

When she is not in the gym, she can be found in an ice rink watching her boys play hockey. She is a mom of two active boys. She loves getting away to the mountains whenever possible for hikes with friends and family.

Training Philosophy: You don’t always have to train as hard as you can each time that you train, to reach your goals. You must move your body consistently though, and overtime challenge your body. It’s more about the movement being medicine for your body, than going 120% on your workout a few times and then stopping because you're so sore and overwhelmed with life. I LOVE teaching women how to lift weights! It’s so important for our overall health and vitality!!!
