Meet the Class of 2022 BY ELAINE KUPSER AND MARISSA TIEL

fter many months of anticipation we are proud to present to you Canada’s Top Fitness Trainers 2022. Each year gets increasingly difficult as we received hundreds of nominations for the best in their fields and we could have easily featured triple the number of finalists this year as the scores were literally only one or two points apart. Every single trainer has given back to their community in a unique and positive way. Congratulations, respect and recognition goes out to all nominees this year - we celebrate you! All nominees were once again scored by merit. This included areas such as education, certifications and accreditations, years in the business, philanthropy and community service. Additional topics included success stories and personal fitness philosophies
which were ‘blind-scored’ by our professional, expert panelists who spent many hours reading these inspirational stories. What wasn’t part of the scoring criteria was how many social media followers one had, or how many nominations one received. Fitness trainers have a wealth of education and expertise to share, but above all they are genuinely passionate about helping others live their healthiest lives. After two full years of intense change to the fitness industry it has remained resilient, stayed open against all odds, and, most of all, continued with fierce determination to help others. The pandemic has heightened the importance of our health and fitness and that is one shining light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for your passion and dedication. Roll out the red carpet.
