Although we’ve been celebrating them for decades here at IMPACT – this is our fourth year officially recognizing Canada’s Top Fitness Instructors & Trainers. From year to year, we alternate between Top Fitness Trainers and Top Fitness Instructors. This year, we ask Canada’s Top Fitness Trainers to take a bow.

As much as it’s about honouring the Top 10 in each region in our magazine, it’s also about acknowledging and saluting the hundreds of nominees and instructors everywhere who help make our communities healthier.

Anita Ivic became a trainer to help people discover the tools they need to form healthy habits that are already within themselves. “I love sharing my passion for movement, self-care, healing and overall self-improvement with the people I teach,” she says. “Seeing each person progress in strength, ability and fortitude on this journey of life equally gives me immense satisfaction in our mutual accomplishment.” Ivic has helped thousands of people reach their personal fitness goals including elite athletes like Canada’s most decorated Olympian, Penny Oleksiak.
