Altitude Athletic Therapy & Fitness Training Inc

I have been a part of Altitude Fitness Training since Sarah started, attending the bootcamp classes on Thursday evenings. It has bettered my life in so many ways, making me stronger physically and mentally.

I grew up on a farm in the Linden area. Having 4 brothers older than me to keep up with, and 1 younger, I was very active and made sure there were no activities I couldn’t participate in. Riding calves, horses, crawling around and on top of old buildings, riding bike and just doing all the things there is to do on a farm. 

I completed my AFLCA Group Fitness Instructor certificate. I love  learning all I can about fitness training and how to help our great community enjoy being active.

Anglea has been teaching fitness classes and doing personal training in Three Hills for almost 10 years. She is passionate about all areas of health and wellness, body AND mind. Ang teaches Spin, Yoga, Pilates, TRX, Strength and HITT classes, is a certified Meditation teacher, a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher (currently working on her 500 hour) and is a certified Life Coach. She also has training in Yin Yoga, Kids Yoga, Corrective Exercise, Nutrition (Precision Nutrition Level 1), Yoga for Mental Health and is currently back in school taking Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I was born and raised on my families farm west of Linden. My school years were filled with playing volleyball, basketball, soccer and riding my horse any free time between. After graduating from high school I went on a mission trip to Burundi Africa as a part of my Bible School training and had an experience working with a young child with a disability. This experience led me to realize I wanted to work with individuals with disabilities in the future. I recently graduated with my degree in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies at the University Of Calgary and I work for the Drumheller, Hanna, Three Hills and Surrounding Areas Family Resource Network.

Even though I loved playing sports growing up, my relationship with fitness has always been rocky. Due to self esteem issues I would workout as a way to ‘punish’ myself rather than a way to honour my body. Throughout the years I have worked toward changing my mindset from “having to workout” to “getting to workout” and loving myself along the way.

I have recently completed my Barre Training and am looking forward to growing my confidence and relationship with fitness, while working alongside and motivating the lovely residents of the Acme/Linden area!

Christine is local to Linden and has been taking part in all kinds of exercise classes, including spin, over the years! She was eager to share her love of spin with others and decided to become certified as an instructor! Christine will be sure to challenge you, keep you laughing and dedicated to your workouts!

I am forever grateful for my roots in Irricana, no matter how far away I may be, the open skies and rolling prairies will always be my home. Eagerlyengaged in the community and actively involved in sports, I was 14 years old when a new yoga studio came to our little town. Practicing among a handful of adults, I never felt out of place. Just like my surrounding prairies, I knew I was home. I devoted time to connect with myself and my breath, and the benefits I reaped from each class I carried with me day after day, week after week, until it was clear yoga was now just as much a part of my life as anything else.

As I journeyed my way through Mount Royal University, I rediscovered my love for mindful movement practices and connected with yoga studios in the city. I noticed that the more I devoted to my mat, the more relaxed and resilient I became in my everyday life. I thank my yoga practice for slowing me down from the often demanding and stressful lifestyle I have in the city of Calgary, where I currently reside.

In 2018, I completed my 20 hr kids YTT and with that training under my belt, I knew I wanted more! My passion for the outdoors and my need for yoga led me to embark on my 200 hr-YTT with Wilderness Yoga School in Canmore, AB. My degree in Ecotourism and Outdoor Leadership is complementary to my yoga teaching and practice as I strive to deepen my understanding of mind-body awareness, asanas, connection, and self.

I believe that there is great joy in connecting with the mind and body to create peace and openness in one’s heart.

Yoga is not about touching your toes, it is about what you learn on the way down. The experience of yoga is more than simply the movements through the poses. What is so lovely, is that you can decide what yoga means to you and why you desire to show up on your mat; yoga is yours.

Just as I have been guided gently through my experiences by the people who acknowledged my light, I hope to offer the same support to you and your yoga practice; whether you are an experienced yogi, or brand new! I look forward to connecting with you at Altitude Fitness.

I have worked for 39 years in the Healthcare Profession as an LPN and as a Therapy Assistant.  Over the course of my career I had an opportunity to work with a Physiotherapist developing and instructing Fitness Classes and workshops for Senior’s. Upon retirement, this past year I became certified from the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging as a Senior Fitness Instructor.

I have always made health and fitness a priority throughout my life.  I enjoy all types of physical exercise and have always been able to take a variety of fitness classes such as; aerobics, yoga, aqua size, and boot camp.  Participating in these classes gives me the strength and ability to continue to do the activities that I enjoy such as hiking, biking, and kayaking. You will also find me on my daily walks around Acme with our beloved dog, Teddy.

My husband, Gary and myself love living in the Village of Acme where we raised our 3 children.  We are truly blessed to have 6 precious grandchildren.
