    Personal Trainer

    Also a firm believer in a balanced-life approach to fitness, Sherry is the founder of WENS, one of Montreal's premier women's networking organizations.

    Corporate Services
    Companies and organizations know that corporate fitness programs are instrumental in reducing workplace stress and on-the-job injuries, while boosting employee morale and productivity. We offer a wide range of top quality programs and packages for businesses

    Home Training Services
    Train in the comfort of your own home privately, with a spouse or maybe even some friends! Our professional qualified trainers will motivate you to help you achieve the healthy lifestyle youre looking for! Claim your personal training receipts through your companys insurance plan for an 80% to 100% refund.

    Why use a personal trainer? At one point or another you will most likely want to hit the gym to shed some pounds or get in better health. So the first thing you do is buy some cute training clothes or pull out the ratty sweat suit and head for the treadmill. The only thing is - you dont know how to get what you want - correction - you only THINK you know how to get what you want. Believe me - I was there.

    I was once 180 pounds and battled the treadmill and spent hours sweating my socks off, but was never able to reach my goals - until I got a personal trainer. Well you know that old commercial I liked it so much I bought the company? Well - I was so convinced after working with a personal trainer, that I went out and studied how to practice as one.

    Six certifications later, 135 pounds and in the best shape of my life, I can help others obtain the goals they really want. Whether it be to get in shape, loose weight, gain energy or just improve their healthy lifestyle, knowing the right process to fitness training is the key ingredient to success.


    We will examine,
    Your fitness history

    Your current status
    Your eating habits
    Your time schedule
    Your goals and objectives
    And we will set time lines and reward systems.

    Request your 30 minute free consultation today and discover your new journey to a new and improved you. You will feel happier, healthier and more energized before you know it!

    WENS Testimonial
    By WENS Member!

    Girl - you totally ROCK!
    I've known you when the WENS concept was still all in your head and not yet a reality. And look how far you have taken your company and your mission of connecting entrepreneurial women via online as well as through networking events WENS hosts.

    I am so proud to be have been involved in the early stages of WENS and to see it grow today to 60+ women attending a WENS breakfast as well as starting a branch in Montreal. WOW! and congratulations! Being a member is a must for me. I've met some amazing business women via WENS (yourself included) and participating in events as well as being a guest speaker has brought my own company, Foresight Strategies and my women's golf league - business.
    I wish you continued & great success.

    The Courage to Sell
    By Wayne Vanwyck

    It takes guts to be a good salesperson!

    Anyone who is serious about a career in sales needs the courage to stick with it long after the fainthearted have given up and taken to the hills.

    A career salesperson must have the Courage to: Initiate. Real salespeople are entrepreneurial. They don't wait for things to happen, they make things happen. Be prepared to step into the unknown; to risk being wrong. You have to prefer to be accused of making a mistake rather than being guilty of not trying.

    Take ownership. Salespeople (and everyone else in their company) recognize that they are 100% responsible - for their activities, their attitude, their product knowledge, their customer's satisfaction, their product and their bottom line results. Everyone knows whether or not you are doing your job. Results don't lie and you own those results and the efforts (or lack of them) that led to those results.

    Be independent. With responsibility comes freedom. Salespeople have the courage to be free from the normal constraints of employment. Yours is not a structured environment with clearly defined patterns. At the upper levels, you don't have to ask permission to take time off. You know that your success in reaching your goals gives you the independence to determine which rewards you will receive for your results.

    Live as a professional. Successful salespeople have the courage to invest in themselves. The steps you take to enhance your skills, knowledge, attitudes and abilities, are brave ones. No one is demanding or subsidizing this process - you, the professional know that the better you perform your job, the more you will be paid and your value will increase. Read books, listen to tapes, take courses, and practice your skills until selling is second nature. Join professional associations and speak proudly of your role as a sales professional.

    Commit. Choose a path. Top salespeople have the courage to decide what they want, seek out the circumstances that will support that decision and take action to make it work.

    Ask Questions. Top salespeople have the courage to ask the difficult, gut-wrenching, emotional questions that get at the heart of the matter. They're not afraid to probe, layer by layer, helping the prospect and themselves understand the real problems that need to be solved.

    Shut Up! Don't be afraid of silence. Have the courage to endure and use silence as a friend, letting the prospect think. You don't need to fill every conversational pause with words. Silence is powerful.

    The Diva Team Nothing gets Lisa McKenzie, founder of Deserving Divas, more fired up than making a difference in womens lives. But running a business from her home and caring for 2 very young daughters was what most people would call, impossible. Inspired and focused on her dream, Lisa knew, for the idea to grow beyond herself, a team needed to exist, but not just any team would do. Lisa spoke to many women who approached Deserving Divas from an opportunity standpoint but something was always missing and that was passion. A passion for creating escapes for women. Working with Deserving Divas could never be just a job. Come discover how Deserving Divas grew from an idea to a team of passionate women with one mission in mind.
