Transcend Fitness

Kristine Ewald and Simone Crook are passionate about fitness and living active lifestyles. They're both moms, too, so they also know how hard it can be to balance family life and work and still find time to be active. It is one of the reasons that they started Transcend Fitness in 2015. They have created all of their programs and classes with the busy woman in mind. They also wanted their facility to be a place where women could go to feel supported and not be judged, so they made it a women's only facility. "We love seeing women grow in confidence, feel empowered, healthier and happier," says Kristine.

Terrace is an ideal place, according to Kristine and Simone, for those who want to make regular activity a part of their lifestyle. One doesn't necessarily have to be athletic to pursue fitness. Terrace is rife with mountains to climb, trails to hike and many other options that are right out everyone's back door. "There is a lot of variety," Kristine says.

Starting a gym was the perfect business and career choice for Simone and Kristine. They get to do what they're passionate about every single day. They get to encourage other women and watch them grow and develop in confidence and ability. Best of all, they are able to build flexibility into their work life so that they can do their favourite thing of all: spend time with their families.
