I want to first introduce this charismatic and high spirited individual…
LYNNE! Ms. Do it All!
On land or sea, probably soon air, she continues to bounce around the WellFit Center, offering incredible service.
Before I fully introduce Lynne, I would like to try a little game called "2 truths and a lie" to see if you can figure out which isn't true! Here we go…
- She was a World Ranked Ironman Triathlete.
- She is a former Air Force Officer from Canada.
- She is a two-time winner of the Female Military Athlete of the Year Award.
Have your answer chosen?
I am now pleased to introduce, Lynne Bermel!
Lynne Bermel is one of our personal trainers and among our most active group fitness instructors at the WellFit Center, teaching Aqua X, Spin, Pilates, and Zumba. She is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), the gold standard in personal training. She is also a Functional Aging Specialist, certified in training older adults through the Functional Aging Institute (FAI). Lastly, she has been leading our individual and small group training sessions on the Pilates reformer.
Lynne has competed as a professional in the Ironman triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 180-mile bike, and 26-mile run). She has completed 15 Ironmans around the world and is a four-time finisher of the world championships in Kona, Hawaii. She represented her native Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, and won gold at the World Military Triathlon Championships in Belgium. A former air force officer, she is a three-time winner of the female military athlete of the year award and is a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame.
Lynne is also a published author, having written a book on fitness and aging entitled: "Aging is Optional." She is also a former TV sports broadcaster and host of Rogers Sports Exclusive and Rogers Varsity Sports.
Lynne's talents make her the PERFECT fit for us here at The Oaks Club.
When you see her, please join me in giving her a socially distant high-five and a big thank you! I am honored to work alongside her, and to soon have her chase me down the Legacy Trail so I can say I tried outracing one of the best there is! Keyword…try!

She is a three-time winner of the Female Military Athlete of the Year Award |
