Fitness Manager

NAIT - Personal Fitness Trainer
CSEP - CPT
NASM - Corrective Exercise Specialist

Hi Everyone! I am the full time Fitness Manager in the Fitness Centre.

Fitness has always been something that has been present in my life. I was always active as a kid playing sports, and when I moved to Edmonton halfway during high school, I started lifting weights and never stopped.


I graduated from NAIT's Personal Fitness Trainer program, and am now a CSEP - Certified Personal Trainer, as well as a NASM - Corrective Exercise Specialist.

Juli Best

Pilates Instructor

Pilates Certified: Classical & Contemporary
 

Juli has been immersed in the Pilates world since 2011, when she began her own practice to address compromised lumbar spinal strength. Through consistent training, she developed strong core stability, fell in love with the method, and pursued extensive education so she could share her knowledge with others.
She holds both Classical and Contemporary Pilates certifications and has studied a variety of fascia-focused modalities, deepening her understanding of the body’s connective tissue systems. These insights are thoughtfully woven into her classes to enhance the overall movement experience.
Outside of class, when she’s not dreaming up creative ways to inspire her students, Juli enjoys exploring new places and making lasting memories with family and friends —always seeking adventure, near and far.

Rachel Dodds

Group Fitness Instructor

AFLCA - Group Exercise Leader

My group fitness journey began with strollercise classes in 2014 when my daughter was a toddler. I fell in love with the energy and the enthusiasm that the instructors brought to the workout and I loved how much fun it was to get sweaty and learn new things alongside other people. Group fitness allowed me to challenge myself, get stronger, and make new friends at the same time. I became a group fitness instructor in 2018 and have since added cycle, mind/body, and pre-postnatal exercise to my certifications. I truly believe that movement is medicine and especially love teaching adults to feel good in their bodies and to find a sense of silliness and play through exercise.
