My Story

Hi! My name is Carrie Light. I’m 61, and I’ve been in the fitness industry for over 40 years. My life has been inspired by my mother who raised 6 children, yet somehow always found time to take care of herself, and was a very physically fit person. Health was very important to my Mom, and I remember running with her when I was 11 years old. Mom became a group fitness instructor which was always inspiring to me, and I knew at a very young age what I wanted to do with my life.

Growing up I played almost everything I could sign up for, including soccer, water polo, dance, swimming, figure skating, gymnastics, trampoline, and track & field. My biggest success was in springboard diving, were I was a B.C. Champion. I truly loved sport and I knew I wanted to be in the field of fitness.

At the age of 17 I got involved with teaching group fitness classes, which became a stepping-stone into the business of Personal Training, Athletic Coaching, and Rehab. I went back to school to complete many certifications in personal training, training personal trainers and supervisors for fitness. I have since completed the CFAPLA at UBC, NSCA Certification, Level 1 and 2 of Exos Athletes Performance Coaching, Clean Health Nutrition Certification Course Levels 1-7 (in progress), Cory Holly’s Sports Nutrition Certification, Medical Exercise Specialist Course, Info Fit’s Rehabilitation courses for Spine, Hip Knee Ankle, Elbow Wrist & Shoulder Course, Soft Tissue Release Course, Twist Athletic Coaching Levels 1 through 5, KSAC Kettlebell Course, Bioforce Certification, Fitflow Yoga Certification, Pain Free Performance Specialist Certification, Move Strong Course, plus CPR and FFA. I continue to stay on top of my education and on top of industry ideas, innovations and tools.

My mom and was actively teaching up until the age of 74; she resigned from teaching shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. While she was no longer able to make decisions and function in life like she use to, she remained physically able and mobile. Her commitment to being active made for a much greater quality of life despite her illness, which stole her from us almost 6 years ago.

There is no reason why we have to be invalid before our time – whatever the age or circumstances – and it is never to late to start! Age is just a number. Your body has remarkable restorative capabilities if you give it a chance. Staying fit and healthy with good balance, strength, mobility and stability, and cardiovascular health is so important to aging well. And it makes you feel on top of the world!

It’s my passion and purpose to help older women re-connect with their healthy selves; to turn back the clock and help you dig deep and find within yourself the drive to be the best “you” you can be at any age.
