Ashley Camponi
Tiny, Feisty, Loves Cats
Ashley is a very balanced trainer. She is the perfect blend of kick your ass and compassion. She understands that not everyone comes in feeling 100 percent and is able to quickly adapt to ensure you have a great workout!
Ashley’s fitness journey kicked off when she started TaeKwondo at a young age where she eventually represented the Alberta team at nationals for her weight category.
Now she is a second degree black belt and currently competes in Muay Thai. She has completed her 200 hr yoga training and is in the works of completing her 300 hrs as well as a 200 hr trauma course. In her off hours she enjoys anything fast paced; skiing, motorcross, snowmobiling, rock climbing and hiking (aka anything that gets her adrenaline up) but likes to decompress with yin or restorative yoga.
​
She believes in always furthering her education and wants to help you work towards your fitness and personal goals together! She will be your biggest supporter while constantly pushing you to be the best version of yourself!
She also adores her two kittens but loves all furry creatures.
If you’re ready, Ashley is ready for you!

Michelle Ward
Mother, Superhuman, Multi-Tasking World Champion
Hello!
I'm Michelle, your friendly, neighbourhood electro trainer!
I have had a million jobs, but until 2011, I was an adventure tour guide in the Rockies. It was an unbelievably exciting and rewarding job, but after a few years, I realized that the part I loved the most was the look in someone's eyes when they finally hit the summit of a difficult mountain. I loved seeing that sense of accomplishment and success. Those "I Did It!" moments felt so magical to me. Knowing that our inner mountains are far greater than any real ones, I went into personal training in the hopes of rediscovering that magic. Once I figured out that I absolutely could see that same magic dance in the eyes of my personal training clients, I knew I'd found my niche.
Twelve years and hundreds of clients later, I still love seeing that magic when my clients reach their next level. I love seeing their hard work pay off, and watching them get stronger and healthier every day. That's why EMS was a no brainer for me. With EMS, we can work in a way that is impossible to my past experiences. Working from the outside in, we can meet you in the middle and maximize every result you're working toward. Once you're in the EMS suit, all the obstacles to your best health are suddenly smaller, just because you've got The Suit on your side! Your positive results can come faster than you've ever experienced before, and I can't wait to watch it happen!
So, if you're looking for a little (or a lot) of help to get you to your personal summit, I'm here for you! AND we've got The Suit to make it happen.
