Ready for your bikini?

Me either.

BUT, I did want to pass along the name of a wonderful girl I met over a year ago who is passionate about fitness and helping people suceed in getting there! Stephanie led the running course that got me going and now I'm meeting with her once a week in a very small group for intense training... she's awesome. She has that ability to push you to work hard without making you feel like a loser when you've reached your limit. I highly recommend her!

She recently finished her Personal Training program and is just starting out with her business, called, "ACTIVE 8 Fitness"

Here are some snippets from her newsletter...

Stephanie has had a lifelong interest in fitness and health. She began competitively swimming at the age of 5 and still continues to enjoy the sport today. After graduating in 1996 from Simon Fraser University with Bachelors of Business Administration and a minor in Kinesiology, Stephanie moved to the Kelowna area. In addition to getting involved in the business community, Stephanie began competing in local running races and took up the sport of triathlon in 2002. Stephanie has been a leader and guest speaker for several learn-to-run clinics over the past 5 years and enjoys assisting others in achieving their goals. In 2003, Stephanie was honoured with the YM-YWCA’s Young Woman of Distinction Award for her achievements in fitness, her career and volunteerism. Keeping busy is what keeps Stephanie going. In 2005, Stephanie was the Westbank & District Chamber of Commerce president. That same year, Stephanie trained for and completed Ironman Canada, and a 100km run to raise funds for Partners in the Horn of Africa. Stephanie also participated in the World Masters Games in 2005 for swimming and took home a silver medal in the 400m Individual Medley. In 2006, Stephanie decided to combine her business knowledge and her passion for health and fitness to start a personal training business.
