*Black Belt in Shotokan Karate

*Certified in CPR & First Aid

I am new to the Personal Training Profession but have many years of fitness training behind me.  I have been training in Shotokan Karate for approximately 20 years and have reached my 2nd Degree Black Belt.  I recently decided to get into the fitness field because I had my son in July 2007 and wanted to lose the baby weight.  After joining the gym I saw that I wasn’t the only one with this goal.  I feel that with my background I have the right tools to help you reach your fitness goals, keep you motivated and challenged.
My hobbies include horseback riding, hiking, strength training and playing with my son Dallen.

*Registered Pilates Instructor

* Certified in
First Aid and CPR

I started training in dance at the age of nine and became a professional dancer at sixteen. For many years I have performed in various disciplines in a variety of stage shows, TV and film work.
I  began teaching dance in 1999 when I became an instructor and choreographer in ballet, lyrical, jazz, hip hop and belly dancing.  I have also taught Strength, Stretch, Flexibility and Muscle Conditioning to dancers, skaters, hockey players and women of all ages.
Having the opportunity to travel with princess cruise line and perform abroad, I used my free time to expand my experience by becoming a Registered Pilates Instructor and also enrolling in an extensive Personal Fitness Trainer diploma program through NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology).
My goal is to create a very special, comfortable environment so my clients get a great workout, relieve stress, gain fulfillment, feel stimulated and have fun while doing it. My hope is to inspire people to better themselves, to enhance their self-image and self-confidence.

Trish Hungle

If you are between  40-55, I can help you deal with those hormonal changes happening to your body. Exercise, especially during perimenopause and menopause is crucial for helping symptoms like: weight gain, mood swings, osteoporosis, stress/depression, trouble sleeping and bloating.

My goal is to put YOU back on your priority list. Like most of us, it’s likely you may have a self care problem- you do everything for everybody else and at the end of your overscheduled routines and obligations, there is no time left for you. It’s all about balance. You have to give yourself some priority- you owe it to your body, after all it has gotten you this far.

My name is Trish and I started incorporating fitness into my life in my early 40s. I can remember looking in the mirror and noticing changes starting to occur (and not the good kind of change)-likely from perimenopause. I was determined not to let it get the best of me- I wanted a healthy, strong, fit body to help me through the emotional, physiological and physical changes that occur
during perimenopause and menopause. So I started a regular fitness program, I hired a personal trainer and became keenly aware of what I was eating. My personal trainer was terrific, as I was just starting out I had no idea what exercises I needed to do, how to do them correctly, how many reps, sets etc. The more I started working out, I realized that finding a trainer specifically for my age was hard to find- so I decided to become a personal trainer specializing in women like me and now I want to share my success with you!

We will chat about your specific goals and expectation and then I will customize a workout program just for you. I can guarantee you will feel so much better about yourself and I promise to make it FUN!
