Growing up as a figure skater, I discovered a passion for physical fitness and good health. After graduating from Wilfrid Laurier University with a degree in Physical Education, I entered the fitness industry as an instructor where I found a love for working with people and inspiring others to make health and fitness a part of their daily lifestyle. As fate would lead me back to figure skating in the early 90’s, I began a coaching career of over 20 years and served as Figure Skating Director in Sugar Land, Texas. The tug in my heart to come home to Canada and be with my family offered me the opportunity to join the Anytime Fitness family. I am beyond grateful to be a part of the Perth community and to help provide our members with a supportive, warm and friendly atmosphere.

My Journey into fitness began at the age of 13 when I began playing soccer! After one year at the recreational level, I was asked to play for the top regional team and the following year I was playing for team Ontario. I was very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with some top fitness coaches who not only motivated me but also educated me in helping me get to where I am today as a personal trainer and owner of Sauve Athletics Health and wellness Retreat. My career actually began at the age of 16! I worked as a fitness technician for curves for women for 4 years and then as a top level trainer at GoodLife fitness for 8 years! I fell in love with exercise and exertion very young and knew this had to be my livelihood! Here I am today excited and ready to add Anytime Fitness to my experiences and very excited to meet many new fitness enthusiasts!
