About Jackie

I grew up on a dairy and beef farm in rural Alberta with my parents and four siblings.  I lived the typical country life, helping out on the farm, and lived an active lifestyle for most of my life.  I always participated in gym class and played basketball in high school.  I joined JuJitsu at the age of 12 and have been practicing ever since.  I currently hold my second-degree black belt (called a NiDan) and teach and compete alongside my husband Ernie.   

In 2019 & 2022, we welcomed our two daughters into the world and since have been navigating the life of personal trainer, business owner and mom!  It comes with some challenges but I wouldn't change a thing!

 I became serious about fitness, weight lifting and training in 2015 and set out to finally ditch the all-or-nothing mindset, stop the yo-yo cycle, get strong and take care of my health. 

 In 2016, I obtained my Personal Training Certification and started Fit Like a Girl Personal Training.

I wanted to make a business geared towards busy women to help them make fitness a part of their life, and reach their goals eating the foods they love.  I enjoy nothing more than to help motivate and inspire women to make themselves a priority and help them achieve their own fitness & weight loss goals.  
  

I have trained clients in-person since 2016. In 2022, I transitioned to online training full time.  

My mission is to empower women to see the strength in themselves and see that they are strong, confident and can accomplish their goals.
