“Running is just you, the work you put in, and the clock. You can’t cheat yourself. If you don’t put in the miles, you can’t go to the starting line thinking you’re going to pull a miracle out of nowhere. You get exactly what you put in.”

Coreen Rivard
The best part of my job is to see how fitness changes peoples lives. They feel better, have more confidence and more energy. I think it is safe to say that when people get their daily dose of exercise induced endorphins that they are happier overall.
Health and wellness has been a long time passion for me. I started my journey many years ago and love continuing to grow and learn through many courses and conferences so that I am best able to offer the latest and best advice and support to my clients. My official Personal Training education comes from NAIT and I am certified through AFLCA for personal training and group fitness and hold my 300hr Blissology Yoga teacher training Certificate.
Nutrition and lifestyle fit hand in hand with fitness and is also an area where I offer coaching and support. I hold a certification in Nutrition and Weight loss through Can Fit Pro and have my Food Addiction Counselling Certificate from INFACT International School for Food Addiction Counseling and Treatment through the European Certification Board.
Being able to have a positive impact on the lives of the people that I work with is amazing. Watching people grow stronger, more confident and achieve their goals is awesome. Watching lives change has definitely made it a rewarding career and going to work out is something that I still get excited about every day.
Marlaina TroppmanN
I’ve always been passionate about health and fitness and I’ve always loved helping people. What better career to go into than personal training? I was always an active kid jumping from sport to sport but it was when I threw in the towel and began working out at home, I had officially found my spark. After High School I went into the NAIT Personal Fitness Trainer Program. After graduating from NAIT, I went on to get certified through CSEP. You can catch me on the gym floor jamming out with weights in my hands!I love helping people achieve their health and fitness goals while seeing their confidence in the gym and themselves flourish. I’ll be your gym buddy that’ll help you learn, grow, crush your goals and to celebrate your wins!

AGE HAS NO BARRIER- Your fitness is more important than your age.
When I started teaching group fitness classes, I was accompanied by a solo pianist at the YWCA for music. As the years passed and aerobic dance became the workout of the day, I used record albums that I lined up by the record player and changed as needed. Then came tapes, CDs and today, iTunes on my iPad. Oh my goodness; I have taught many fitness classes from Aerobic Dance, Step, Pilates, Cycle, Evolution, Stages Spin, Queenax and my next challenge…online fitness classes due to COVID restrictions.
There have been many changes, but some things never change.
The enthusiasm of participants is stellar, then and today! The music remains inspirational, touches our souls and keeps us moving year after year. We have ROCKED to the music of Queen of the 80’s and DANCED to Billy Eilish of 2020! No matter how I feel, I walk into class and see the smiling faces ready to workout. I turn on the music. Magic happens. I have taught at the YWCA, City of St Albert and owned my own Aerobic Dance Studio, The Body Shop.
Today, I am deeply grateful to have a home at SVAC! The opportunities here have allowed me to move forward year after year and challenge myself.
I am also SO thankful to have known so many wonderful participants that became dear friends. Many have attended my classes from the beginning, experiencing the live piano music at the YWCA, and now are experiencing the high-tech class of Stages Spin at SVAC! I am proud to say that yes, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Caroline Botting
I’m Caroline Botting, a fitness instructor and personal trainer. I’ve been at this whole training thing for a while now (over 15 years!) and within that time I’ve trained a wide spectrum of people from athletes, to couples, to new moms, to people with injuries, and everyone in between.
My background is in athletic therapy, which if you don’t know, is a therapist who is mainly involved in sports settings. That being said, I’ve always had an interest in the jump from injury rehab to everyday life and how to maintain a healthy, happy body for the long term. Over the past few years, and since I’ve become a mom, I’ve had an even deeper interest in how to get moms back to feeling confident and strong in their bodies. I love helping to empower people to move and groove their bodies however they want with less fear and frustration.
Who am I really though? I am a woman who is married to a wonderful husband, and who has 2 kiddos. Training is my passion, but my family is my life. In my spare time, I love to garden, play baseball and flag rugby, and explore new places while hiking with my family.
Getting off the sidelines of your life and back into activities you love is what I do. I’ll bring knowledge and a plan to help get you there and keep you there for the long term of life!
Karen McIntyre
I love working at SVAC because the membership has embraced fitness as a lifestyle. I’m in fitness to share my passion that all movement enhances the quality of life. I love training on the Pilates reformer because it stretches and strengthens the myofascial lines of the body, which improves everyday mobility. I enjoy sharing my passion for fitness as a trainer educator and running certification courses for group fitness instructors.
