Heather Monteith

My love and passion for fitness motivated me to become a certified Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer. I will be graduating in April 2011 from The University of Western Ontario with an honours degree in English Literature and Sociology. My original background in fitness and wellness stems from my extensive experience in ballet. I started dancing when I was 3 years old and stopped when I attended university at 17 years old. I danced with the Jorgan Ballet Company in the Nutcracker Suite when I was 12 years old, competed in various dance competitions across Canada and completed all the ballet levels with the Royal Academy of Dance. My passion for dance evolved into a passion for fitness and wellness. I got certified through Can-Fit-Pro as a Fitness Instructor in 2008 and in 2010 I got my Personal Trainer certification. Throughout my four years at university, I have been able to work part-time in both positions. I am enthusiastic, motivated, knowledgable and I bring a positive energy with me wherever I go. I would love the opportunity to travel abroad to share my interest and passion for fitness with other people around the world!
