Hey Ladies!
My name is Janice Brideau and I am really excited to start working with all of you fabulous women. I am a Can-fit pro certified personal trainer.
I want to share my fitness story with you. I was not the athletic type when I was growing up. I was overweight until I was in my late 30’s. I had very low self esteem.I hated the way I looked and felt.
I decided to turn my life around after my son was born with Down syndrome. One of the effects of Down syndrome is low muscle tone which leads to obesity. Having gone through both grade and high school overweight I did not want him to have to deal with the same teasing I did. I decided to set a good example for him. I started to watch what I ate. I lost some weight but was not happy with my body. I knew I had to start to move in order to get him moving. When my son was about 6 I got him involved in fitness.
We joined Variety Village which is a facility for developmentally and physically handicapped people. While he was doing his programs I started working out as well.
I loved the effects exercise had on me. Not only did I start to look better I also started to feel better about myself.
Over the next several years I got more and more into fitness. I started to get approached by others asking how I turned things around. More and more I wanted to share my passion with others. With a little encouragement from my new wonderful husband I decided to go for it. I got my personal training license and am thrilled to be working in the fitness industry.
I want to be a part of helping other women discover the positive effects of exercise. I believe we are all capable of being stronger and living healthier and happier lives. Fitness to me, is not about a number. It is a state of mind. I want to assist women in becoming their own personal best.
I have now been working out for many years and this is the best program I have found that matches my own personal philosophy. I believe that fitness should be fun and friendly. I think of my work out time as “my time” and want to work hard but also have fun. With booty camp you work hard and play hard. When I joined as a recruit I would look forward to each class. The classes can be tough but you always leave with a smile on your face and can’t wait for the next one. I want to pass along that great feeling to all the recruits and help them get the wonderful results that booty camp delivers.
I love to work out and do it every chance I get. I also love to spend time with my husband, bike riding, going for walks and watching hockey. I spend a lot of my time taking care of my son right now as he needs 24/7 supervision due to behavior issues. I plan to continue my fitness education in order to help others achieve the results and personal gratification that fitness offers.
I'm much more than just an 'employee'. I own the Brantford Boot Camp Licensed Location (similar to a franchise). As the owner of my "Licensed Location" I share in the responsibility of creating a valuable experience for you and all my recruits, and am 100% compensated via profit sharing.
