I grew up an extremely active kid with a love for the outdoors and many different sports. Competitive figure skating became my true sport of choice at a young age. I skated out of the Mariposa School of Skating in Barrie, spending long days at the rink doing both on and off the ice conditioning. This was my first introduction to the importance of a well structured training program. I divulged myself into every aspect of my training and fell in love with how well the off ice conditioning complimented my on ice abilities. The mental and physical benefits I experienced during my training at Mariposa have been something I have carried with me throughout my life. These benefits have since became a passion I love sharing, in hopes others can experience the same things for themselves!
My love of skating developed into an extreme love of running during my high school years. At the age of 14, I was recruited by a competitive track team out of Guelph where again, I found myself reaping more mental and physical benefits from a properly structured training program. I went on as a competitive runner all throughout high school, which truly opened the door to health and physical fitness for me. In 2002, at the age of 16, I completed my personal trainers certification through Canfit Pro.
In 2004 at the age of 18, I purchased a small gym in Mount Forest in hopes of making this life long passion of mine a career. I loved every minute of being in my little gym but unfortunately some life circumstances resulted in me having to sell about a year later. Over the course of this year, I helped many people of various ages and abilities with different aspects of training, all in hopes of making my little gym a success. As much as I was forced to give up “Shape Up,” my passion for helping people live a healthy, active life has never gone away.
I’ve continued to train myself and many others throughout my adult life. I have spent the last 10 years teaching various styles of group fitness classes with a real focus on functional strength and overall conditioning. My love of exercise and nurturing the body only continues to grow stronger. My 19 years experience in the industry come from doing and living this as a lifestyle myself. As a 3 time fitness model competitor and owner of Fit with Brit, I have a love for helping everyone lead a healthy lifestyle and become the best versions of themselves!
KMSD is excited to have Britt lead students in a Stretch & Strengthen class!
