COACH Krystal
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER, IFBB PRO
Hi there! My name is Krystal Grondin and I am one of the certified personal coaches here at Performance Wellness Centre! For the last decade, I've lived and breathed everything fitness. Prior to that, I was anything but the picture of health. I was overweight and depressed for years until one day, I decided to make a change and take charge of my life and my health. Since then, I’ve never looked back!
Fitness for me began with a lot of ups and downs, with the original goal of losing weight. Once I had reached that goal, I needed another and found bodybuilding. I've been competing for 7 years now and what started off as a goal to get on a bodybuilding stage, became a goal to win a regional competition, then a goal to win nationals, and then the goal to win a pro qualifier and earn my status as an IFBB professional in the Women’s Physique Division. I did exactly that!
I just have so much love and passion for health and fitness! My new goal is to share that, along with my knowledge, with others and inspire them to realize their true potential! That anything is possible! I realize how being overweight or new to the gym affects many aspects of your life, I've been there! I want to be there for you and help you discover the benefits and joys of training that helped me become the person I am today. I’m here to be your personal coach on every step of your journey!
COACH RACHELLE
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
I’ve been a Personal Trainer going on 5 years now & coached other competitive sports prior too. I have so much love for fitness & training that it doesn’t even feel like a job, It’s a passion & lifestyle. I need to keep my body active daily to remain the happiest version of myself.
At the age of 2 I started gymnastics competitively till I was 14, then competitive tumbling, competitive cheerleading & in 2017 my first bodybuilding competition in the fitness category. My first year competing in bodybuilding, I came in 1st overall at regionals, 1st overall at provincials (the Toronto pro show) then went to Surrey British Columbia & placed 2nd overall in Canada.
While writing this bio I decided to set a new goal for myself & it’s to step on stage once again. I’d love to go on stage one day with my supposed to be husband Dan Mrdja & have our sons there cheering us on in the audience.
Setting new goals is the first step to new journeys. I hope you set new self-goals to motivate & be the best version of yourself. If you decide to do just that & need a little guidance along the way, I’m here & I’d love to help! Xo
COACH DAN
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
I’ve been a personal trainer for about 9 years now. I wasn’t always a “gym junkie”, I grew up playing a lot of sports. From travel soccer to travel basketball, and football and volleyball. I continued with basketball and soccer into college, and I even played semi-pro basketball in Europe.
When I got back from playing abroad, I slowly got into the gym and fell in love. My passion for fitness steered me towards Bodybuilding, and I’ve stuck with it ever since. I’ve been lucky enough to do pretty well from being a regional champion to being national champion in the Men’s Physique Category.
My passion for Bodybuilding sparked my interest in a personal training career.
Being able to help people achieve their health goals is probably one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve ever had in my life. Not to mention the joy of seeing my client’s confidence grow day by day while they inch closer and closer to their goal. You can rest assured that I will try my best and do everything I can to help my clients meet their goals and provide them with enough education to be able to go on and be comfortable in their own skin.
Remember it’s all about how bad you want it and how hard you’re willing to get to your goal!
COACH JEAN
CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER
Growing up in the Windsor-Essex’s area I have been involved with sports as an athlete as a child/teen playing basketball and football, along with wrestling. I began coaching football immediately after my playing days.
Additionally, since I was an athlete growing up, that also required me to be in the gym during the season and in the offseason, which later on down the road led me to having my own weight loss journey.
Furthermore, being an athlete/coach as well as having my own health and fitness journey created a passion for fitness and coaching, which eventually paved the way for me and has enabled me to be where I am today. I am currently an International Fitness Association Certified Personal Trainer and have been Personal Training for 4 years and counting.
