Biography
Fiona Hermanutz has been active in sports and activity all her life. Her first interest in teaching came with her Education Degree, specializing in teaching Physical Education. Since then, her passion in fitness for all ages has grown. She has been involved in the fitness industry for over 25 years teaching young children to seniors. Her expertise ranges from traditional step classes, to intense spin classes, to technical Pilates mat and equipment classes. She has presented at numerous fitness conferences and workshops for fitness leaders and education teachers.
Fiona’s fitness profession started with her teaching in various clubs and studios while also teaching junior high and high school. She started Mobile Fitness in 2001, realizing there was a need for different forms of fitness in the schools. She would travel to schools and teach club type classes to students. Through Fiona’s journey in the fitness industry she branched into the Pilates World when she took a serious injury and found a whole new movement she had never experienced. The rehab and maintenance made her realize that effective and precise core training and alignment work did wonders for the body! This started her passion for Pilates and the various forms offered. She expanded Mobile Fitness and started teaching out of her own space rather then traveling to various clubs. As her clientele base grew she discovered a need to expand and offer more classes. She opened her smaller studio in September 2007. This year she is excited to open the doors to Mobile Fitness and Pilates Studio. The studio offers a 1200 sq ft Pilate’s equipment and weight training studio and a smaller 600 sq ft mat and TRX circuit studio. The studio offers classes ranging from very traditional forms for Pilates to very progressive circuit and weight classes. Fiona presently teaches various classes in her studio and teaches the Fit for Life program at Sir George Simpson Junior High School. Her passion is to educate young and old to move effectively and efficiently in their bodies! She recently finished her final test and write out with Balanced Body University and is now the ONLY FULLY CERTIFIED BALANCED BODY UNIVERSITY STUDIO IN THE EDMONTON AND SURROUNDING AREA. She plans on continuing to train towards becoming a master trainer. She is also very excited to announce the opening of the new Mobile Fitness and Pilates Studio in summer of 2012! It will host two 1000 square foot training studios, massage, and Cart Smart!
