In 1998 I became a certified instructor. From then it was full steam ahead educating myself to become a diverse instructor. It's all about the relationships and friendships that developed. Helping others to achieve fitness goals and a healthy well being gives me great satisfaction. Instructing fitness classes has been an amazing journey and I look forward to continuing at Ironwood Family Fitness.
Hello! My name is Christina and I am a Mossa instructor here at Ironwood Family Fitness Centre in Moose Jaw. I was never into fitness until my last year of college at Briercrest. I quickly feel in love with the mossa programs and wanted to give back to my community and help others feel healthier and happier. My desire is to bless others as I have been blessed through the leadership and other instructors here. I hope to meet you and to walk along side you in your fitness journey.
I started my fitness journey 8 years ago when I joined the gym to try and deal with a bad anxiety problem and lose weight from my last baby, I never looked back, lost the weight, overcame my anxiety attacks and found my passion! I love helping people discover the benefits of fitness and being active while training in a safe and fun environment. I am a Can Fit Pro certified Personal Trainer as well as certified in Mossa Core, SPRA Group Cycle and TRX. It takes motivation, determination and consistency to succeed, i'm not saying it will be easy but eventually you will find yourself looking at your body in a whole new light, feeling happier, healthier and stronger.
Joyleen has been a group fitness instructor for 28 years mostly focusing in TRX, Spin, HIIT and Mossa Group Core. She usually teaches in the wee hours of the morning because there is nothing better than starting the day off right with like-minded people.

I am a mother of 2 wonderful children who I want to pass down my passion for exercise to. I have been certified with SPRA (Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association) in Spin, Group Fitness, and Aqaufit dating back into the 1990’s. I am also a Level 1 Agatsu Kettlebell instructor, TRX Instructor, MOSSA Group Ride, Group Core, R30 Instructor. In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, running marathons and competing in triathlons.
I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids and wife to a Police Officer. I am very lucky to be able to be home to take care of my family but it is hard to find time for me, so the gym is where I regain my sanity! I am certified in Mossa group fitness classes Power, Core, Centergy, Ride and R30. These Mossa classes allow me to get my workout in while helping you get yours. My goal as an instructor is to make everyone feel welcome and successful no matter their fitness level. I believe Group Fitness classes are the key to success for everyone who either doesn’t know where to start or doesn’t have the time to plan. It’s always better together!

My entire life has been full of movement. At a young age I was always singing, dancing and acting. I fell in love with performing and sharing the knowledge that I had with others around me. After many years of competitive dancing I turned my passion into a career. I was blessed with many opportunities in the dance world and I have been teaching/choreographing for twenty years. Just like so many others, even though I loved my job, my life felt chaotic. The stress was becoming unbearable, although I was unaware of it at the time. Something was missing. Then, in walked yoga. I had taken Yin yoga classes for many years, however, I never really felt a connection with the movement. Then one Saturday I took my first Vinyasa Flow. I had no idea that yoga poses could be so beautiful and strong. This was the missing puzzle piece!I have learned so much about my mind and body over the past five years, all because of yoga. In June 2019 I traveled to Thailand to immerse myself in the Bryce YTT and received my 200hr RYT. I am honoured to have the opportunity to guide others through their yoga journey. I want to create a community where I can share my experiences and learn from others. I aim to create a judgement free learning space where others can find their own path through yoga. I want to encourage all of my students to explore what’s possible in their bodies and minds. Once I fell in love with yoga, I learned how to fall in love with myself.
Mrs. Tracey (as the kids call her) is one of the most kind and warm hearted women I know. She greats each and every child she takes care of with a huge smile and hello and is genuinely excited that they’ve come to play. She makes a “gym daycare” fun and enjoyable for everyone -from the kids running in to play and telling her all of their “life stories” to reassuring the first time parent dropping their baby off for the first time. She never seems to forget a face and is always excited to hear what the kids are up too when she runs into them outside of the gym. All kids seem to think that Mrs Tracey lives in the daycare, and it’s true! She has been running the daycare for over 25 years and her smile and big heart is what keeps the kids excited to come back week after week.
