Juan Bernardo Bas

Personal Trainer

Bachelor's Degree in Physical Activity & Sport Sciences - Spain, NSCA, CPR. Training courses through EXOs for Injury Recovery

 

I am new to Calgary; I recently moved here from Spain. I am passionate about exercise sciences and human health, always seeking to grow both professionally and personally. I love teaching and sharing the benefits of exercise with everyone, particularly how weight training can benefit individuals of any age. This passion has led me to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Sports Sciences and a Master's Degree in Teacher Training, along with several certifications. 

I enjoy working with clients of any age and fitness level. The transformative power of strength training is accessible to all, whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time or aiming to enhance your existing routine. I'm genuinely excited about the prospect of assisting you on your fitness journey.

Outside of the gym, my hobbies include combat sports, reading, walking, and hiking in nature. I also enjoy going out with friends and, like a true Spaniard, indulging in good food.

Training After Back Injury

I started training with Juan after a major back injury. For more than two years he has been my personal trainer and I have never had the slightest discomfort despite my chronic injury. During this time I have steadily improved my fitness, feeling comfortable at all times. Juan Carlos creates a pleasant environment and workout routines that are motivating whatever your level. -Pedro

Fitness to me has no finish line!

Achievable Alignment

Posture; What Does It Mean? I like to keep it pretty simple, posture is the representation of your body’s alignment and symmetry. It can reveal the presence of pain, muscular imbalances, and even reveal an individual’s state of mind. It is a snapshot of your overall health & wellbeing.  Can I Change My Posture, Make Improvements? […]

Cory Maystrowich

Personal Trainer

First Aid, CPR, AED, I.S.S.A Certified Elite Fitness Trainer and Coach, Certified Senior Fitness Trainer Certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition, Certified in Movement and Nutrition, Certified Youth trainer, Gym Jones Level 1,2,3, TRX Certified Trainer, FMS Level 1.

It’s my passion to help empower people to live healthier, happier, stronger and fitter lives by helping clients identify and reach their goals. I provide the accountability and motivation necessary to keep clients on track and progressing forward. I use my expertise to ensure what you are doing is correct to maximize your results. I can and will push you out of your comfort zones and harder than you would or thought you could push yourself. I work on getting you stronger and fitter by reducing the possibility of injury. We know that an injury can slow you down or derail your workout program, and even lead to a loss in momentum and the determination to continue on. Personal training with me is about personalizing your workouts by customizing your programs based on your individual strengths, weaknesses and goals.

Being the first trainer in Western Canada to achieve full certification with Gym Jones and the principal of Trigger It Personal Training, my speciality is being a Mind, Body & Lifestyle Transformation Specialist. 

My belief is that training for a particular outcome and testing against the demands of that objective proves whether the training is effective or not. If there is no test, no purpose, then it's not training or preparation, it's called exercise.

The focus is to train the body as one-piece to integrate it, and to tie the body, soul and spirit together. Practice makes habit: when we overcome different physical and psychological challenges, we develop the habit of overcoming whatever challenges we may face in sport and life.

Born and raised on a farm in rural Canada, I have learned the values of hard work, ambition, integrity and teamwork from an early age. One of my first introductions into an active lifestyle was learning how to skate and play hockey by the age of four. When I wasn't playing competitive hockey, I was playing football and baseball and working on the family farm. At the age of sixteen, I suffered a major accident that nearly paralyzed me and almost took my life. Since that time, I have had to deal with weight gain and weight loss as well as the side effects of other physical and psychological effects of such an injury.

 I’m currently an active Husband and Dad to two young and energetic boys but still find the time to get my own training and workouts in. I used to be an avid and competitive runner of marathons, half marathons, 10k, 5k, adventure and obstacle races. I have been competing in races in North America, as well as training others to get faster and stronger physically and mentally. My training and programming is directly influenced by my own learning and experiences and the experience with Gym Jones and Bobby Maximus. One of the biggest lessons I have learned is to never give up, "BE committed to DO what it takes, to HAVE what you want" in all areas of one's life.

Measuring Progress

MEASURE PROGRESS WITHOUT THE SCALE   Frustrated. Disappointed. Hopeless. Skeptical. Whichever you choose, these emotions are enemies of people trying to lose weight—especially when you feel like you have done everything right. For many trying to shed pounds, the elation from that initial weight loss is brought to a screeching halt when the scale stops […]

Wendy Peterson

Personal Trainer

PTS, TSCC1, RSNA, Certified Kettlebell and Pilates instructor, Certified Pre & Post - Natal

After owning my own successful private training studio and outdoor bootcamps in BC, I moved to Calgary and I’ve been part of the Urban Athlete team since we opened our doors in 2013.

I have worked full time for over two decades in the fitness industry, acquiring many certifications and skills, including Pilates, Pre and Postnatal, Kettlebells, Twist Sport Conditioning, TRX, as well as overall fitness coaching from weight loss to strength training.

With everything I have learned so far, I have seen people benefit the most from simplicity, sticking to the basics & knowing that you don’t need to kill yourself in the gym to achieve results. I work with clients to improve strength by focusing on correcting imbalances and teaching how to activate abdominal muscles. This benefits everyone from the elite athlete to anyone wanting to improve their quality of life and be less susceptible to injury.

Within gym training or virtual, there are no excuses to continue to stay active; anything is possible!

I love what I do, I live what I do. Your success is my passion!
