Manitou is an Algonquin belief that “a power permeates the world.” It is also the beach north of Penticton, BC where Lona Montgomery spent many summers with her family. This is a sacred spot for her. In 2000, after her mother passed away, Lona was inspired to follow her dream of owning her own fitness business, so she left her job teaching fitness for the city of St. Albert and opened Manitou Fitness. “It was a natural transition," she recalls.
Lona has a passion for helping people create a comprehensive foundation for moving forward, providing a combination of cardio, weight training and yoga classes. “I was originally trained in fitness, then trained in yoga," she says, "so I bring a style that blends the safety of fitness into the discipline of yoga.”
