Having officially opened its doors in January 2017, Amare Vita Fitness (Latin pronunciation) offers a variety of services related to personal training, nutrition and the amazing world of triathlons (TriLife+ Club).

As a lifelong athlete, I played several organized sports in my youth, including hockey and soccer. An injury forced me into the pool to work on my shoulder. That's where I discovered my passion for triathlons. I ran many races in my youth and have always ridden a bike - so why not TRI it out? After completing my first race in 2000, I've since participated in several sprint, Olympic, half Ironman and Ironman competitions.

As a finance major, I always thought numbers and suits were the best way to create stability in my life. However, my true passion was coaching. I've coached high school women's hockey, women's and men's competitive soccer and La Cite Collégiale's men's soccer team.

In 2010, at the age of 31, I decided to take the plunge and quit my job to dive into the world of personal training and triathlon coaching. I've since built my business and expanded my clientele beyond anything I could ever have imagined - and I've never looked back.
