My name is Melanie Duperreault. My fitness journey started in March 1998, when I purchased "The greatest gym ever...Bodies By Choice!" from two people who became my role models and inspired me more than they will ever know, Mike and Joyce Woodward. I wouldn't be where I am today without them. They built up a great business and taught me the "ins" and the "outs" of bodybuilding, dieting, and running a gym!
1998 - Certified Strength Trainer from Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation I competed in the 2000 Southern Saskatchewan Bodybuilding Competition in Moose Jaw, where I took first place in the Women's Class and also placed first as Best Female Poser! I operated Bodies By Choice for 5 years and sold it in June 2003, to the fabulous Arlene Helgason, who still operates it. I moved to Prince Albert in June 2003 and started personal training at Bravo for Women. Thanks to the amazing ladies at Bravo, my business grew and GREW! At Bravo, I started a Biggest Loser Challenge thanks to the advice of a friend and client, Laurie Fehr. She had watched the television show and wanted to do it too, so we did! Since March 2004, I have guided more than 200 women ( and 1 man! ) through the Biggest Loser Challenge / 12 week body transformation program. In February 2006, I flew to Whistler, BC to meet Buddy Lee and complete his Jump Rope Certification - Level 1 Training through the Buddy Lee Jump Rope Institute. I instantly became a fan of Buddy and the Buddy Lee jump ropes which I LOVE and currently sell in my studio. Breathe Fitness has grown! I offer personal training in my private studio and in client's homes. I love training clients in their home and showing them a great workout with minimal equipment. So many people think they need expensive machines to get a workout! It is incredible AND HARD to do a workout with only your body!
In July 2007, I began my journey with Bikini Boot Camp. Bikini Boot Camp is a Calgary based company with amazing owners and trainers! See Bikini Bootcamp at www.bikinibootcamp.ca for more information. Classes run throughout the year...even in the winter!! August 2007, I obtained my Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Fitness Specialist certification from Can Fit Pro. I currently teach Mom and Baby Boot Camps outside in the spring, summer and fall with indoor classes in the winter. I am currently completing my Personal Trainer Diploma through the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology ( NAIT ) in Edmonton, Alberta. I look forward to graduating in 2009. I am grateful for all the amazing people that inspire me and allow me to have the most AWESOME job EVER!!! Have a great Fall and Winter!! I look forward to meeting and working with you in the future! Happy Training!
