Personal Peak Coach Chantelle Erickson named one of Canada’s Top Fitness Instructors by Impact Magazine

Impact Magazine’s list of Canada’s Top Fitness Instructors honours the top 10 instructors from each region of Canada. The selection criteria includes factors such as the instructors’ education, certifications, experience, philanthropy, community service, and success stories.

Chantelle is a certified Personal Trainer, and holds certifications for Spin, Rowing, TRX, Pilates, and Barre. She is also a certified Pre and Post natal fitness specialist, and as a proud wife and mother of two, she knows the ins and outs of juggling training, work, and family time!

Motivated by her desire to teach people the lessons and skills she has gathered over her fifteen year running career, Chantelle became a Personal Peak Run Coach in September of 2020. She is now a Personal Peak Group Run instructor and Personal Coach. Chantelle has already made a positive impact on her Athletes. “As a busy working mom it’s very hard to stay on track with my running, and Chantelle’s focused workouts help me stay on track without having to do the thinking and planning. It has been keeping me on a reliable workout schedule.” – Erin, mom, runner, and Personal Peak Athlete.

The past year has been a tough one for anyone in the fitness industry, but Chantelle has embraced it, flawlessly switching over to online Coaching with Personal Peak, recording video workouts for her Personal Training clients, and even teaching virtual classes, and run groups. “I think the use of Zoom is a glorious thing. Zoom affords me the opportunity to look my athlete in the face.” She says “This is a life saver for online coaching because too much gets lost in the translation of an email. The same goes for coaching my group runs.”

Although new to the Personal Peak Team, Chantelle is far from a newcomer to fitness instruction, and has been working as a Personal Trainer, and Group Instructor at Kinetic Fitness in Lethbridge AB, since its inception 6.5 years ago. Sandra Auschak, owner of Kinetic Fitness, says “Chantelle is so passionate about fitness, and it just radiates from her. She is always so motivating and knowledgeable. She knows how to push her classes to their limits, but safely. Chantelle cares so much about our members. She has formed many very strong bonds with them – they trust her and admire her!”

When reflecting on what motivates her, Chantelle says it is all about helping maximize the success of her Athletes. “The most memorable finish lines are your ‘firsts.’ When an athlete crosses the finish line of their first marathon or first ultra marathon something magical happens to their self-identity. They evolve into a goal getter and dreaming becomes a regular part of their life plan. I live to see that moment come to life in my athletes.”

Congratulations Chantelle!
