Meet Anna Stelmach

As a Certified Personal Trainer (NASM), and Pre & Postnatal Coach (GGS), I am passionate about sharing my love for strength training and helping individuals improve their health. With over 13 years of experience, I have the knowledge to help you accomplish your goals. I want you to feel empowered in your own body, and I will be there to support you along the way!

I pride myself in creating a comfortable and inclusive space for all my clients. I am primarily based out of a small boutique gym called Iron Alley in Cloverdale, but I also do house calls and virtual sessions. My personalized approach to fitness coaching ensures that each client receives a tailored workout plan, incorporating strength exercises, cardiovascular activity, and health promoting eating behaviours. I believe that fitness should be enjoyable, and I work hard to make sure each session is both challenging and fun.

I love moving and challenging my body and mind. In my free time you can find me exploring our beautiful forests and mountains, either on foot or on my dirt bike. I also read, a lot. I love everything from historical fiction to fantasy, but I also do a lot of research in my free time. I am the fur mother of an elderly doggo, Brûlée. Last year I got into running and completed my first half marathon, what an experience!
