Lesley McEwan
Hi, I’m Lesley and I have been passionate about fitness and wellness for as long as I can remember! I have been teaching fitness classes for 42 years (& counting). I have made it my mission to stay current in the fitness and health and wellness industry through the years by way of formal and informal education.
I have travelled nationally and internationally, attending and presenting at numerous fitness conferences. I absolutely love teaching fitness classes of for ages and stages!
I am a Fitness Alberta (Formerly AFLCA) Assistant Trainer, Physical Culture Master Course Conductor and Executive Director, Fusion Leader, Lifestyle Counsellor, Ever Active Kids Trainer, Functional Aging Institute (training) and am the Executive Director of Safe Healthy Active People Everywhere (SHAPE). I pursued my UofA Adult Education along the way as well as my Stanford University Chronic Conditions
Self Management Certificate.
I am an Assistant Trainer and Leader of (to name a few) Mind Body,
Dance, Zumba, Fusion Pilates/Yoga combo, Strength, Older Adult Gentle Fit, Functional Fitness, Falls Prevention, Choreography, Step, and portable equipment. Teaching and supporting new leaders through their certifications is very rewarding for me but what’s even more rewarding is watching them pursue their new leadership roles in studios and facilities across the province. I am also a certified NCCP Level 3 Competitive Curling Coach and currently coach a Women’s Alberta team.
I am a mom of five sons who are all active and competitors in their own right. They are (of course) all grown up and have blessed me with five beautiful daughters-in-law, along with 10 grandchildren! My personal passions include traveling (with lots of books in hand), Curling (World Champion), Body Building (World Canadian Silver Medalist), Coaching; National Women’s Coach, cycling, golf, power
walking, and continuing to lead a variety of group fitness classes.
Most notably I simply love spending quality time with my grandchildren savoring every moment!
Fitness is my personal therapist! I thrive on helping others to find it to be their personal therapist aswell!
