Tish graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Calgary in 1990. She went on to obtain her CMA accounting designation and what followed was a 25+ year career in the oil and gas industry. She recently switched gears and in 2013 became certified as a Personal Trainer. She followed Steve out to Bragg Creek and has since become the office and gym manager.
Growing up in a sports loving family, social connection with each other and friends often involved getting together over a shared activity. Because of this, for Tish, working out has never been something she ‘had to do’ or as an ends to a means. Rather, she came to embrace moving as part of a healthy, active and enjoyable lifestyle. As she has gotten older, she has come to appreciate fitness as a way to maintain muscle mass, enhance cardiovascular health, challenge her balance and allow her to continue doing the activities she loves. Moreover, Tish is a strong advocate of activity and fitness for the many mental health benefits they provide: reduced depression and anxiety; decreased stress; increased self esteem and confidence; improved sleep quality and enhanced brain function to name a few. She looks forward to helping you embrace exercise because you want to, not because you have to, and to experience the many benefits that go along with it!
