coach tab.
Hi all! My name is Tabitha Thiessen (dubbed "Coach Tab" by clients over the years). I am the sole owner/operator of the licensed, home-based boutique fitness studio "FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM".
My passion is helping women in mid-life (ages 40-60 years young) re-discover their inner and outer strength - specializing in building healthy habits for sustainable fatloss and body composition/transformation. My favourite clients to work with are those who are new (or "pre-beginners") and are learning everything for the FIRST time -- OR -- women who have experience but "it's been a while" and are looking for support to get back into the rhythm of taking care of their health.
I hold up-to-date certifications as a Personal Trainer through CanfitPro (PTS) (previously was with AFLCA - CPFT), Certified Group Fitness Instructor through AFLCA (FIS), and Certified "Nutrition for Healthy Weightloss Specialist" with CanfitPro (HWL). I also hold up-to-date CPR-A and First Aid Certification. The home-based studio has been recognized and licensed by the Town of Okotoks as a Home Occupation Business - permitted to offer personal/small group fitness training and nutrition coaching.
A little history about FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM...
The FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM Studio is the physical space where the "movement magic" happens. In 2016 (after I received my first qualifications to teach fitness classes), we custom-built the studio into our home basement. The space accommodates 4-6 moving women at a time and has seen hundreds of classes move through the space as the our beautiful fitness community has developed. Beyond movement, the studio is a place of connection, freedom and safety.
Since it's conception, FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM has grown to offer more services and teach in a variety of locations throughout the Foothills area.
During the pandemic, the F:F:F studio (along with many others) was forced to close and services were put to slumber. HOWEVER -- I am extremely happy to announce that as of Sept 3, 2024, the FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM Studio has re-launched in FULL FORCE with full schedule and a variety of service offerings!
It has been a long road to get back here, but I am so pumped to be back with my beloved community and sisterhood at FITNESS:FOOD:FREEDOM.
I hope you stay and explore the website - and I hope we can connect in person soon!
