My Story
Hello, I’m Shannon Sawicki, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to this corner of the internet! I’m genuinely grateful that you’ve stopped by.
So here’s the lowdown –
This space is all about inspiring you to tackle life with positivity and enthusiasm while balancing the realms of Fitness, Family, and Fun. Oh, and we sprinkle in a bit of Fashion and Food for good measure. I’m a full-time working mom, a to-do list slayer, and a passionate advocate for active living. My mission is to empower and encourage individuals to reclaim their health and mental well-being through the transformative power of fitness.
Above all, my most cherished role is that of an active mother and step-mother to my three beautiful children.
Beyond my corporate journey, I am a BCRPA-certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Leader with 17 years of experience guiding others toward their fitness goals. In 2007, I founded Venus Fitness and Lifestyle that developed into this platform in 2015. I have earned recognition, among the 2018 Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers by VancouverMom.ca, where I proudly secured a third-place finish. In 2024, I received further acclaim with a nomination as one of Canada’s Top Fitness Trainers in Impact Magazine’s “Inspiration Issue.”
With a deep passion for running and a past role as a SportMed BC run clinic leader, I am a fervent advocate for embracing an active lifestyle. I hold certifications in Functional Movement Screen (FMS) at both levels 1 and 2, underscoring my commitment to promoting functional fitness. Serving proudly as a #LeagueofGarmin Ambassador, I am also affiliated with Lululemon as a valued member of their creator network.
