Annika Beech, Hon BA, CPT, NWS
Annika has been working in the fitness field since 1997 as a personal trainer, nutrition consultant, yoga, and cycling instructor. She was also a fitness studio owner since 2003. Her extensive background, combined with her dynamic personality, makes her a popular speaker at running groups, schools and corporate venues, lecturing on topics such as core strength, nutrition and yoga.
A Passion for Helping Her Clients
With a background in sports, Annika has competed in marathons, triathlons and the Lake Placid Ironman in 2004. In 2002 she found yoga and became a certified instructor. Yoga greatly influenced her view of a healthy body and life and inspired her to seek balance in body and mind.
