Gratitude for 30 Years Strong with canfitpro

As I reflect on the canfitpro story, a 30-year legacy that still feels fresh and innovative, I am grateful beyond measure for the experiences, lessons learned, connections, and relationships made along the way. Everyone, whether a canfitpro colleague, member, presenter, or friend, has contributed invaluable lessons that have shaped my leadership and personal growth. Their passion, dedication, and unwavering support have been the driving force behind our collective success. The wisdom shared, challenges overcome, and triumphs celebrated have forged unbreakable bonds between us. Somehow “thank you” seems insufficient to express the gratitude I feel.

One thing I have learned since canfitpro began in 1993, it is that you must never underestimate the power of your story. You never know who you will inspire or who needs to hear your words! But sharing our story and creating positive change in the lives of others, as fitness professionals, requires courage. Courage nurtures confidence and conversely, confidence fuels courage. As fitness professionals and fitness business owners, courage enables us to take risks, innovate, and make tough decisions that move us forward and face challenges head-on with curiosity.

Our vision and the MO’st important reason for starting canfitpro was to move the Canadian fitness industry in a new direction and inspire fitness as a desired career and lifestyle and give fitness professionals and presenters the opportunity to share their passion for fitness, and their stories. I am grateful to all those who have walked with us along this road. Collectively, at canfitpro, we realize our power to elevate our industry comes from connecting our passion and our purpose.

We are celebrating courage as the theme of canfitpro’s 30th anniversary. I hope you enjoy walking down memory lane as much as we

enjoyed creating our 30-year milestones map for this commemorative issue. I have read some powerful stories recently received through our courage story campaign and am grateful to all our fabulous contributors. Every story has been unique. They all inspired me tremendously. We have 30 stories published online and four published in this issue.

Be sure to read Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas’s article in this issue on page 24 to learn how to maximize your canfitpro Global Conference and Trade Show experience. She encourages us to be a part of this 30-year story by attending the event and to come “not to see different things but to see things differently”.

Reflecting on our troubles and triumphs through the pandemic, I am so grateful to all canfitpro members, sponsors, PRO TRAINERS, education partners, presenters, and industry colleagues for their support. Knowing what we have been through, I recognize nothing can replace the face-to-face interaction we experience being in-person with others. We really have something incredible at canfitpro and I hope you will join us live to celebrate together. Yes, it will take courage to dedicate dollars and time, but say yes to what you really need. You will be grateful. I promise you will leave the 2023 canfitpro Global Conference and Trade Show a different person than when you arrived. I am confident you will finish the conference feeling a more vibrant, recharged, and powerful version of yourself.

I look forward to celebrating with you in Toronto this August! If you have not registered it is not too late, go to canfitpro.com/events2023/global

Courage To: Tell Your Story

- The Power of Indigenous Storytelling with Kendal Netmaker

Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Author, and Indigenous Speaker

Learn the 3 ways to tell a story that creates an emotional connection and promotes long-term relationships with your clients and customers

Visit the canfitpro booth after the Opening Keynote to purchase Kendal's book and have it signed

In a world full of noise and short attention spans, the art and skill of memorable & impactful storytelling has never been more important. Indigenous Peoples’ key to retaining their culture and traditions has been built upon oral stories for thousands of years. With no textbooks, they have been able to retain valuable teachings that have been passed down from generation to generation. In this powerful keynote, Kendal takes you into Indigenous Peoples’ storytelling communication and how to build a deeper connection with your customers and team members. He explains the importance of how storytelling is key to building long-term relationships for continued business growth.

Inspiring Stories of Courage

ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

Courage is the strength to face fear, pain, or adversity with bravery, determination, and resilience, often resulting in extraordinary acts of selflessness and heroism.

It is a chaotic world right now with change and uncertainty still lingering as most industries and professionals, including fitness, navigate the new world of work. This time of reinvention will require more from leaders at a time when leaders may be feeling less themselves (less confident, less knowledgeable, less

KENDAL NETMAKER

motivated, etc.). Never has there been a time where leaders have had to call upon their own courage to lead and show others a path not yet travelled.

Sharing your story is an act of courage as it takes

inspiring others to do the same. canfitpro celebrates 30 years by highlighting stories of courage to inspire fitness professionals to overcome obstacles, cultivate resilience, and empower their clients to do the same, in pursuit

He speaks professionally to thousands of people worldwide on resilience, leadership, and the power of telling your story, weaving his real-life experiences into motivating lessons that empower and build more resilient leaders and organizations. From Sweetgrass First Nation, Netmaker and his siblings were raised by their single mother. Life wasn’t easy growing up on the reserve surrounded by poverty and few opportunities, but one moment changed his life forever. In grade five, he and his best friend shared a love of sports, but his family couldn’t afford extracurricular activities. So, his friend’s family stepped in. They paid the fees and drove him to his games and practices. It wasn’t until he was older that Netmaker understood exactly what this family did for him, and how different his life would have been without them. It’s this that has motivated him throughout his life and drives him still to this day. Today, Netmaker is a leading entrepreneur whose passion to succeed is contagious. He has founded and invested in five businesses, including Neechie Gear, a lifestyle apparel brand that gives back a percentage of their profits to help underprivileged youth take part in sports. Netmaker has won over 25 business awards, including being named one of Canada’s “Top 40 Under 40” and being runner-up at the YBI Global Entrepreneur of the Year. He is also the author of to Succeed: From Poverty To Podium.

An award-winning entrepreneur and author, Kendal Netmaker is a master storyteller who uses his natural gift to help people shift their mindset and find the success they seek.

JANA WEBB

Broken

These words define the reality of my last six years, but I did not let them define who I am today and who I aspire to be moving forward.

In 2016, I was at the top of my game, I was traveling around the world training pro athletes, I had just signed a lease for my first brick and mortar location to build the first JOGA HOUSE. I had JOGA certifications booked to capacity across Canada, my son was thriving, and I was casted as one of the stars on the reality show The Real Housewives of Toronto… then in less than five seconds all of that was dismantled. I was in a head on car crash in the Dominican Republic while down there training professional baseball players. My life flashed before my eyes. All I remember is seeing my son’s cherub face in my mind and I prayed that I would not die.

I did not die, but I did suffer many injuries that I am still managing and doing rehab for to this date. I had to figure out how to work with a broken back and a brain injury, how to be a single mom to William while not being able to move, how to build my business from a hospital bed and, most importantly, I had to figure out how to get my body and my brain back.

I worked through pain and confusion for years. I looked fine but vomited every day. I kept the secret that I could not remember who anyone was, and most times did not really know what I was doing or what words (and in what order) would be as the sentences left my mouth. My thresholds were challenged, my fuse shortened. Everything hurt; lights, crowds, moving. My personality changed. I was not the Jana I used to be.

This new broken Jana attracted a toxic relationship. I was weak and vulnerable. Little did I know how much pain my heart would go through over the next five years.

In summary, I was not healthy enough to run JOGA HOUSE and had to close the business which left me with a bunch of debt. I had to start over, I had to find the courage to move on and think about my business in a different way. I have had to persevere through pain and not feeling well just to keep my life and business going. I had the courage to keep showing up because there was no other option. I had to have the courage to leave a toxic relationship and trust that I would be OK on my own.

back, broken brain, broken bank and then the icing on the cake, a broken heart.

Jana and Sheldon will bravely share, in a conversation facilitated by Mika Midolo, how the fitness industry helped them navigate their own personal challenges at the

CLOSING CEREMONIES

SHELDON GUY

In November 2021, I was admitted into the hospital and was put through a battery of tests, but nothing was found. They had no clue what was happening to me. It took only three-weeks to lose my vision.

When I got out of the hospital, I made the decision to go back and coach girls’ basketball as I had a lot to share with the girls about pivoting and facing adversity head on. I let them know about my darkest hour - how I had thought of taking my life and not dealing with the challenges in front of me. I also told them that we all get to make the call on how we come out of things. I have been spat on and pushed down and I have had friends leave me, and now I am facing this all on my own and trying to advocate for blind people and helping them understand they are not alone.

If you wish to hear more on my story, please visit Sheldon Guy W5 Pivot on YouTube and it will give you more context on my journey.

At the beginning, I noticed something changing in my vision and I began to see doctors to figure out what was happening. The world was closing in and becoming darker by the day. I had no clue what was happening, and it was getting scary.

MIKA MIDOLO

I graduated in 2000 from the Humber College Journalism program. After graduation I became a television and radio reporter, a PR representative, and an on-air talent for CP24.

After graduating from Humber and working at all these firms, I realized that I needed to keep both my body and mind in balance, and I found the perfect answer in Pilates. Movement has always played an important role in my life, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I loved gymnastics, swimming and participating in sports in my younger years and how it made me feel. I have always had a passion for how the human body moves, the potential it has and how it is connected to mind and spirit.

I immersed myself in the various methods of Pilates in 2001, adding weights and props as I progressed. I continued practicing during my pregnancies and post-natal (C-section delivery), and after enduring endometriosis and pelvic tumor surgeries. Pilates always brought my body back physically and mentally. In 2015, I obtained my PiYo certification, a class based on Pilates and Yoga techniques and 2018 I started training to obtain my certification in the Joseph Pilates method with the encouragement from one of my best friends, Linda Raponi. My Pilates Mat training was with East to West Yoga, and I received my full certification to teach all levels in 2021. I took courses in applying Therapeutic Techniques, received my certificate in Nutrition with Tosca Reno and canfitpro, and my certificate in children’s fitness.

In May of 2021, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. I did six months of aggressive chemotherapy treatments and one full month of radiation. Pilates restored my body, flexibility, strength, and mental wellbeing and still does. I believe and trust in the Pilates method. Pilates is for everybody and every body.

I also love to spend time with my family and friends, especially outdoors. I love to read, listen to music, dance, eat and travel. I am always open to reading new books and I plan to do Pilates all over the world. I look forward to moving with you!

DON’T GO TO SEE DIFFERENT THINGS, GO TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY!

MAXIMIZE YOUR CANFITPRO

GLOBAL CONFERENCE & TRADE SHOW EXPERIENCE

By Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas

CANFITPRO IS CELEBRATING ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT, LIKE MYSELF, YOU HAVE BEEN ATTENDING FOR A FEW DECADES ALREADY. Whether you are going for the first time or are a seasoned fit pro, with the right mindset and preparation, you can make the most of your time at the conference

and come away with ideas that will benefit both you and your clients.

Mental Preparation

Attending a fitness conference can be an incredibly valuable experience for fitness professionals, and it is important to go into it with the right mindset. As

the saying goes, “You don’t go to see different things, you go to see things differently.” This means that attending a conference is not just about learning the latest information, but also about approaching familiar topics in a new way and gaining fresh perspectives. Be curious and enthusiastic. What you

have already seen can been experienced with different eyes. You are not the same person you were last year. Set yourself up for success by being open to hearing things differently. You will pick up on what fits your reality of today.

Say No to The Rest

It is possible that a firehose of ideas motivates you, but it can also be quite overwhelming. Be prepared to say yes to the best and no to the rest. You do not have to implement all the ideas you are given right away. See the “document” section for more on this.

Prepare

One of the most important things you can do is to set clear goals for what you hope to achieve while you are there. Are there specific topics or speakers you are interested in hearing? Are there particular networking opportunities you are hoping to take advantage of? What vendors are you hoping to meet? By setting goals in advance, you can focus your time and energy on the activities that will be most valuable to you. Carefully make your session selections and download the handouts from the canfitpro website ahead of time when available.

Stick With the Plan

Create a schedule for the conference and the tradeshow. Stick with your plan, and that includes a budget on what you want to spend and what are your “must-haves”. That being said, be open to flexibility and the amazing discoveries you will make on the spot.

Document

“Knowing and NOT doing is like not knowing at all.” Do not just passively

absorb information or write down every single word you hear. Think about how you can apply what you are learning to your own work. Document the ideas that you want to implement after the conference in sections. Divide your notepad into sections or write a capital letter or color code your notes:

G: General notes for each session.

Q: Quotes you liked and want to remember.

C: Cues you liked that you want to use with your clients.

M: To-do tasks to implement right away on Monday right after the event.

F: To-do tasks that will necessitate a bit more thinking or preparation that you will implement in a few weeks/months.

S: Great ideas that you will put in a folder for someday when the timing is right.

B: Books to read.

in your day-to-day work.

Connect

Remember the importance of networking at events. This is a terrific opportunity to meet other professionals in your field, exchange ideas, and build relationships that could be valuable in the future. Plan some specific times by contacting them in advance and set coffee dates to catch up or ask the questions you have. Introduce yourself to other attendees. Put your hand up whenever a volunteer is needed. Ask questions. Make a point of thanking the presenter and making a personal contact after each session you attend. Take a selfie with them and ask for their contact to send it to them or tag them. That will give you a way to stay in touch after. Be prepared with cards or ways to quickly exchange contact information with people you want to stay in touch with.

canfitpro Global Conference and Trade Show is fast approaching and it will be over in a blink of an eye! Maximize your event experience with a little preparation and a different approach.

I have found that taking photos of slides is good but to a point. I found I would never really go back to the photos. Instead, I write the one thing on the slide that I really need right now in one of the categories above. By documenting your ideas, you will have a clear record of what you learned and be better equipped to implement those ideas when you are back
