Chantal
Class Instructor for: Cycle Fit.
Profile:
Hi, I’m Chantal… officially the baby of the group. In February 2006 I received my Reebok Spin Certification. I found spinning to be my niche because everyone can ride a bike and benefit from a great cardio workout at the same time. I have been a sub spin instructor for the last year, and enjoy making my riders sweat! I have a College degree in Law and Security, my University degree in Sociology and am finishing my last College degree in Financial Services Underwriting.I have been a Big Sister for 5 years now, and my little sister is 13 years old now. I wouldn’t give up our weekly time together for anything. One day, I will bring her into the gym and put her through one of Cycle Fit classes! I look forward to many more years instructing with Energy fitness, and providing energetic and motivating classes to great music with the odd loud cheer to all my devotees of Cycle Fit.

Marek
Class Instructor for: Hot Circuit
Profile:
Marek has been with Energy Fitness for 9 years and is Personal Training (ACE) certified.

The clients that he trains span all ages, an array of professions, and he works the total body or customizes a program for those who specifically require attention for their personal needs. Marek fully enjoys his clients, those that are at the top of their game attending university on a sports scholarship, the week-end warriors and those who only have an hour or two a week to devote to their physical well being. He has a devoted group of members who renew year after year to keep their workouts fresh and invigorating. Marek frequently travels to British Columbia to study Dahn Yoga and DahnHakDo which is a form of energy martial arts. With this broad knowledge base, Marek designed Energy’s ‘HOT’ class which started in 2005. With his consistent ingenuity and creativity, he keeps this class energized and upbeat. Energy’s ‘HOT’ class is the most popular group fitness class. When Marek isn’t at Energy, you will find him enjoying his other passion… soccer.
