JADEFit »Personal Trainer & Guide
I grew up hunting and adventuring with my dad. During my transformative years, I fell away from sports, fitness, and adventure and took a Y in the road that led me on a path of destruction. Tired, unhealthy, and miserable I was looking for something different. In my early 30’s I met an outdoor enthusiast (Roland Deihl) who took me out snowshoeing. From that chilly (-30) day on, Roland mentored me and began teaching me skills on how to enjoy everything from ice climbing to biathlon to backcountry touring. His mentorship changed my life for the better. I had a whole new world opened up to me. I have spent the last 13 years living a new life of exploring, fitness, and adventure thanks to a kind friend. He has inspired me to provide the experience for others, and that’s what I aim to do within my company.

About Us
I started JADE in 2020, in the middle of a pandemic. Gyms were shut down, and we had no options as trainers. During this time, I relied on my fallback—my love of the outdoors. I took this time to rediscover and truly enjoy the beauty of the mountains, but I knew that most people stayed holed up in their homes. I wanted to show people that there is a big, beautiful world out there waiting for them, and they don’t even have to travel to see it.
Grande Prairie is a fantastic central location to some beautiful backcountry, with so much opportunity for climbing and hiking. While contemplating this, I realized many people were interested in getting out but didn’t know where to start. I started a beginner’s hiking course to accommodate this, and from there, my JADEFit journey has only gone uphill. I love to show people the beauty of Peace Country and how to enjoy life with just a pair of boots and a backpack. My fitness education came into play as many people didn’t have the physical capacity to tackle big hikes or mountain summits. I began to combine training with adventure, and in the summer of 2020, I led several people to their very first mountain summit.
