Author Profile: 

Justine is the founder of Twenty Toes Fitness and mommy of one delicious munchkin.  She is a Personal Training Specialist, Pre & Post Natal Fitness Specialist, a member of Canfitpro and holds a current CPR certification.

Justine brings a ‘normal-girl’ approach to fitness, with a focus on functional movements that make us feel stronger and healthier in our everyday lives.  She believes in a realistic and balanced approach to fitness, rejecting the typical ‘no excuses’ mentality.  Justine understands that being a mom means not only having a day job, but being a multi-tasker, chauffeur, tushy-wiper, chef, homework buddy, laundry-engineer and procurement specialist.  She strives to empathize with her clients, pushing them to challenge themselves, but also encouraging them to work at their own pace and level.

When she’s not working on her business or staying active, Justine can be found chasing her little lady around or catching up on old episodes of 30 Rock with her husband.  She’s on a mission to create the best-ever smoothie flavour, and is known to break out into spontaneous verses of ‘Old McDonald had a Farm.’  Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone, but she’s a total sucker for a good cupcake.

About my kids: 

Sweet like candy to my soul!

Parenting is...: 

I'm supposed to say 'super-rewarding,' right?! Parenting is the most fun, miraculous, terrifying and exhausting thing I've ever done.

We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 

Anything active: jogging, kickboxing, yoga, circuit training, hiking! Catching up on old episodes of 30 Rock or Modern Family, which usually happens from about 11:00 PM - 11:17 when I fall asleep slack-jawed. (It's all so glamorous, I can barely handle it!)

When are you at your yummiest?: 

I feel most beautiful when I'm sweating.

What's currently in your purse?: 

You know, normal stuff: wallet, keys, cellphone, 7 types of lip gloss and a hand full of stale cheerios.
