Kim Nocita

Mondays | Full Body Strength

canfitpro  | Cycle, Strength, Children's fitness & Active Aging

Kim's journey into instructing began through her own commitment to regular workouts—friends and co-workers began asking her for guidance with their fitness and nutrition, which inspired her to pursue a path where she could help others improve their health and confidence. She is passionate about creating an encouraging environment where participants can grow stronger, support one another, and build lasting habits. She especially love witnessing the progress people make—not just physically, but mentally as well. Having previously worked full-time in a corporate setting, Kim understands how powerful movement can be as a stress reliever and believes it's essential to carve out time for yourself. A fun fact about Kim: I bring the same energy to my classes as I do to everyday life—always upbeat, always supportive!

Lana Asuchak

Tuesdays | HIIT

 AFLCA 

Lana has worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years. She started her career in the fitness industry working in a myriad of ways from part-time Sessional Instructor at a university to owning and operating her own personal training business. She stays fit by teaching fitness classes, one of her favourite hobbies with Barre, Pilates and Spin as her top workouts. Lana prides herself in staying current by attending conferences, reading industry journals and taking courses every year. Lana has a passion for fitness and loves everything about it – the variety, the people I work with as well as the clients I train and making a difference in their lives.

I believe in achieving dreams, challenging one’s individual limits, training hard and becoming the best that you can be. Fitness can make you feel ALIVE and take you beyond your wildest dreams. Not only do I want people to feel better and look great, I want them to have a better quality lifestyle.

Marjorie Mang

Wednesdays | Full Body Strength

canfitpro

Marjorie began her fitness instructing journey in January 2010, initially motivated by a desire to save on gym membership costs. Her very first class was a Group Cardio Kick session, and from there, her passion for movement and instruction only grew. She holds multiple certifications, including Mossa Group Power and Group Fight, MOC Barre & Myofascial, Aerial Yoga, Keiser Spin, Step, Jari Love's Get Ripped Program, and Zumba. She’s also planning to begin her 100-hour yoga training and will be starting Pilates training at the end of June.

With a strong expertise in weight training, Marjorie has a deep passion for bodybuilding and nutrition. She began competing at the age of 48 and proudly earned her first six-pack abs at 50—proving that age is just a number when you stay active and motivated. Her story is a testament to resilience; she turned to bodybuilding after being borderline diabetic and has since overcome it. Marjorie believes in the beauty of staying strong, inside and out, and brings that inspiring mindset to every class she teaches.

Yulia Kelemen

Thursdays | Barre

Instructor with Ballet Beats®. Ballet Beats® is a proprietary syllabus and program which combines both ballet and Fitness into a multi-level, inclusive fitness experience. 

To watch me dance is to hear my heart speak.

I was born in Lutsk, Ukraine, and have been dancing since I was 4 years old. I am truly blessed because my whole life revolves around this beautiful art form. At first, I mostly learned classical ballet and folk dance, in addition to rhythmic gymnastics.

My first bachelor’s and master’s Degrees are in Foreign Languages, since my parents insisted that I get “real profession”. However, I decided to follow my dream and turn my passion into a career, so I graduated from the College of Culture and Arts named after I.F.Stravinsky majoring in ballet and folk dance and later got my Master’s in Dance and Choreography at Rivne State Humanitarian University.

My dreams came true – I worked as a ballet artist for Volyn Regional Philharmonics and as a college teacher in my Alma Mater. I was really fulfilled with my profession back in Ukraine.

Now I live and work in Calgary and I believe that this happened for a reason – I’m very open to new experiences and ready to learn and develop in many ways. I have a tremendous desire to share my passion for dance and hope that my experience will help my students to experience new horizons and change their lives in a positive way.

 

BELIEVE YOU CAN AND YOU ARE HALFWAY THERE!

Mynah School of Yoga

Claudia has been teaching yoga since 2022 and brings a warm, grounded energy to every class. She completed her 200-hour training in 2018 and her 300-hour in 2021 through the Mynah School of Yoga. Though she always knew she'd teach one day, a friend's invitation to sub for a class gave her the final nudge—and she hasn't stopped teaching since. Claudia's flows are designed to help students reset: through breath, movement, and moments of stillness; she invites everyone to reconnect with themselves. Her goal? To help you leave class feeling calmer, a little stronger, and much more centred. Off the mat, you'll often find her in the kitchen baking sourdough—a practice that, like yoga, calls for patience, presence, and love.
