Chantelle Somers

Hello there!

My Name is Chantelle Christensen and I am from northern Alberta, Canada.  As winters at home are typically dark and cold, it would be an incredible opportunity and experience to teach fitness in a warm, sunny paradise!  I'm a fit Mom of 2; a tween & a toddler, and married to an incredible man (all of whom would love to join me on vacation.)

After developing postpartum anxiety in 2012, I discovered the power of exercise and the positive change fitness had on my mental health. I wanted to share the gift of movement with other moms who were struggling, so in 2014 I became certified as a Personal Trainer, completed my Group Fitness and 200hr Yoga Teacher Training to become a well rounded instructor. I've been leading transformative classes ever since! I own a yoga & fitness studio here in Alberta, I'm the founder of an online fitness business, and I absolutely love bringing people together to breathe, move and sweat. The energy and positivity of a group moving together is like no other!

I'm a huge advocate for cultivating a healthy relationship with food & exercise, I believe our bodies should be celebrated and it's never too late to get started on working-on-working out. Your best is always enough in my classes and I will push you forward while honouring and respecting your limits. I believe exercise is a blessing, not a chore & it’s always my goal for my participants to leave a session feeling better than when they came in. 

I also love fish tacos washed down with green juice, live music, sports of all kinds, homeade guac and beach volleyball. When I'm not teaching classes, you can find me exploring the beautiful forests of Canada, cozying up with a book, hanging with my husband, daughters and Australian Shepherd... Or cooking with wine in my kitchen. Sometimes I even add it to the food!!

Whether the participants are looking for a relaxing yoga class, thrilling cycle class or strength training session, I'm confident in my abilities to deliver a motivating, fun, safe and effective class. I look forward to meeting new people and coming together to celebrate life, fitness, and feeling great on vacation!!
