Lana McIntosh is the owner and motivator behind BlastFitness. An educated and passionate individual, she first ventured into the fitness industry as a 16 year old in her hometown of Bowen Island, B.C. She fell in love with the energy of group fitness and had a BLAST as a participant and instructor!
Lana’s background involves numerous sports including figure skating, soccer, volleyball, running and triathlon. After graduating from the University of Calgary with a degree in Kinesiology, she worked in many levels of the fitness industry from elite athlete testing and training to leading all ages and abilities through group exercise classes including cycle, strength, cardio, bootcamp and flexibility based classes. She also certifies and evaluates instructors through Alberta’s government recognized fitness certification – the AFLCA.
In August of 2008, Lana created BlastFitness to provide her clients and class participants with more options to further their training. Lana’s approach to fitness encompasses the physical, social, emotional and mental aspects of training. She believes that goals in fitness often start as physical aspirations and end with a greater sense of self and inner strength. Lana’s goal is not only to motivate clients to achieve their goals, but to educate and provide them with the tools for success.
