Michelle Laidlaw
Hi my name is Michelle and I am so happy to welcome you to Vitality Health & Fitness. The idea behind VItality has been in my heart for a long time and I am so excited to be in a place where I can now share it all with you!
I have 12 years of Secondary teaching experience in areas such as healthy living, leadership, physical education, fitness and coaching in a wide range of athletics. My passion in these areas initially lead me to an honours degree in Health and Physical Education and a variety of elective courses in nutrition and community health sciences.
I am passionate about connecting with and helping others and have had great success connecting with and helping students make positive changes in my teaching career. I am now looking forward to continuing to connect with and help community members make positive changes through Vitality.
I can’t wait to get started working on your Vitality- a feeling of aliveness in both the physical and mental sense. Working on strength, activity and energy. I hope that moving your body will be the beginning of a new outlook on living a life full of vitality.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me any time. I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you decide if Vitality is a good fit for you.
In love, health and happiness,
Michelle, Vitality Health and Fitness Founder/Trainer/Educator
