Lisa Lethbridge (She/Her)
FOUNDER/ HEAD COACH
With over 10+ years in the fitness industry as both coach and athlete, Lisa started beSTRONG to give people the knowledge and confidence they need to excel in their fitness journey.
​
For me, it's not about being the strongest, the fastest or the fittest, I have always naturally been an active kid. It's always been about moving my body and chasing the thrill of something new. I have an urge to be good at all sports that I play! Through this, I've learnt that exercise can be fun and that health and movement are always a number one priority - you can't enjoy yourself if you're hurting.
Want to get motivated and see results? Do something you love doing. It's that simple.
​
I've been coaching and playing sports in tandem for as long as I can remember. My greatest moments are always when I see one of my clients achieving something they never thought possible. I feel incredibly lucky that I've been able to work with athletes at all levels - those on their first steps towards health and wellbeing and athletes competing at an international level.

Sarah Pedley
(She/Her)
HEAD COACH & MEMBERSHIP MANAGER
I have been involved with sports for 40 years. The sports I currently enjoy are strength training, trail running, mountain biking, open water swimming and triathlons. I love challenging myself, to see what I can accomplish physically and mentally.
I think this is why my favourite sport is endurance running.
It is a balance of both, and the reason I began strength training.
I realized that strength training would help me to be able to do all the sports I love longer in life. And it turns out that I love my time strength training too!
I have so many goals and bucket list races to train for. And along the way, I'd like to start working with and inspiring those who are new to running and those who want to learn more about blending the strength and endurance world together for health, fun, injury prevention and longevity.
If I’m not out with my little Dog, Rudy you will find me out and about with Hubby on the back of the motorbike. We love travelling around on it. The coolest trip was to Moab for our wedding anniversary a few years ago. We rented mountain bikes and rode the red rock. So sweet.
Best thing about exercise - is the confidence I have gained and the friends I have made.

Carley McClements
(She/Her)
SQUAMISH GYM MANAGER AND
TEAM ADMINISTRATOR
​
I was 17 and really lost after high school, I was joining a gym and so nervous. Once I joined that gym and got into a regular fitness routine, a lot of things changed for me. I became more confident, I had more energy, and became more motivated in many aspects of my life.
I love that I get to be a part of other people's fitness journeys - as I know how intimidating starting one can be!
​
You'll find me located in Squamish most of the time, but I look forward to helping all clients at beSTRONG Training get set up, scheduled and ready to go.

Being healthy and active is a priority in my life. I grew up playing team sports and training with. weights to enhance performance.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and strongly believe movement and exercise

Alana Lawes
(She/Her)
COACH
Exercise has always been more than just being physically fit for me. It's a community. You’ll make life-long friends, learn things about yourself, clear your mind and find freedom in your life.
​
The confidence you gain from consistently showing up for yourself, progressing week in, week out is why I love this job. You become comfortable with being uncomfortable, doing things you’ve never done before and that feeling of achievement carries over into all aspects of life and helps you feel alive. When you are showing you for yourself, you will be showing up for those around you as the best version of you.
​
Exercise can and should be accessible for everyone, no matter your experience, age or background and I will work my hardest to find a way that means you can exercise in a way that feels good for you. Quality movement is always at the forefront of my mind and will be the focus of our sessions together.
Let’s get stronger, fitter, more resilient and build that confidence together.

Throughout her time being a Personal Trainer Hayley has coached beginners to athletes and everyone in between.

Carley Gottschalk
(She/Her)
COACH
Like many, Carley grew up partaking in various recreational and competitive sports such as gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, soccer - the list goes on. With that, she has also had her fair share of injuries. As frustrating and lengthy recovery was, it really allowed her to take a step back to see how important it is to be moving our bodies and treat the movement we endure with gratitude.
Carley exercises for longevity, to be strong both mentally and physically but ultimately, because she LOVES it. There is nothing quite like a boost of endorphins to kickstart your day but also knowing she is putting herself in the best position to be healthy and happy for a very long time is incredible. She strives to push herself to be better every day, in all aspects of her life.
Carley hopes she can inspire and work alongside those who inspired her. Changing the narrative that exercise is something we HAVE to do into something we WANT to be doing for ourselves, as she believes it’s the highest level of self-respect.
When not at the gym, you’ll still find Carley in her go-to leggings (She's a comfort over style kind of gal) creating memories with friends, family and snuggling her fur baby Ollie.
