About Apex Warrior

We’ve always been interested in a different style of training – a more natural and fun way to exercise. The fitness industry is growing more and more everyday, leaving everyone thinking, “What should we be doing at the gym?”

At Apex Warrior we create a fun environment for everyone to train in a new way – using functional patterns that complement daily life activities to make life easier outside of the gym.

We love teaching new people to exercise in a safe environment. We help build up the body gradually, tailoring training to the individual to accommodate those new to fitness while also accommodating more high-caliber athletes looking to enhance their skills and abilities.

The Apex team will help you push your physical and mental limits to levels you never thought possible. We will show you that you're capable of anything!​

Chantal's personal fitness journey began over 20 years ago and she has been committed, consistent and passionate about it ever since! Early on, Chantal struggled with body issues, eating disorders and an overall unhealthy approach to health and fitness. Once she was pregnant with her daughter, she vowed to become a healthy and strong female role model for her.


Chantal was approached 14 years ago about becoming a group fitness instructor and she jumped at the opportunity. Since then she has gotten certifications including FIS (Fitness Instructor Specialist), 6 x Les Mills, 3 x Yogafit, Stott Pilates Reformer, multiple Zumba, and she recently completed her PTS (Personal Training Specialist) and her CrossFit Level 1 Trainer.


Chantal is an avid runner (trail and road), does obstacle course races, lifts, spins, dances, does CrossFit, and yoga – a little bit of everything! She loves continually learning, and sharing her knowledge and passion with others. Chantal feels blessed that she can help, inspire, and role model health and fitness/strength to not only my daughter, but so many others!
