Hi, I’m Deb
I have practiced and studied fitness for over 20 years; starting out as a Group Fitness Instructor in my 20s and returning to teaching in recent years. Alongside this, I am a qualified Personal Trainer; working one-to-one with clients of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels. I am passionate about helping people build strong, healthy, resilient bodies. Having had Breast Cancer, I understand that life happens and sometimes we have to restart. My approach is supportive, personal, and encouraging—I take the time to listen, understand your goals, and work alongside you to achieve them in a way that feels enjoyable and sustainable. I’ve also completed BoneFit training through Osteoporosis Canada. I thrive on helping clients improve bone health, balance, and confidence—making a real, lasting difference to everyday life and improving their longevity.

What people say about us
A.G
When I first started my workout journey with Deb I had only used the gym in a very limited capacity. I was intimidated by the environment and unsure of how to use most of the equipment. Deb quickly changed that; she not only demonstrated how to correctly use the gym equipment but various exercises I could incorporate to help achieve my goals.
Working out with Deb is always fun, motivating and challenging. She has an eye towards exercising each muscle group properly but also adding variety to keep working out fun and interesting! Now I feel completely comfortable in a gym setting and working out on my own is not something I stress about anymore. Working with Deb has completely changed my approach to fitness and it's one of the best investments I've ever made!

Deb instructed outdoor fitness classes this spring and summer at a local park. These helped me work towards my fitness goals for developing strength and cardiac fitness in a fun and inclusive environment. Deb is an excellent instructor and motivator. I look forward to future classes that she leads!

I’ve had a great experience so far working with Fitness Bee. From the very beginning, Deb was professional, approachable, and genuinely interested in helping me achieve my goals.
Deb’s knowledge and attention to detail really stood out—she took the time to explain exercises clearly and ensured my form was correct.
