A World Champion Bodybuilder, multi-time cover model, Larry Vinette, now in his 50s, is most interested in making a positive impact in peoples lives. This is what he’s dedicated the last three decades of his life towards. As a high-level body transformation and contest prep coach, he successfully helped thousands of individuals optimize themselves. Whether a weekend warrior, a fitness model or Olympia competitor Larry most enjoys helping people transition into the best version of themselves. He provides an individualized approach to training, nutrition, recuperation, and lifestyle. Most recently he wrote a book featuring techniques he learned to help deepen, lengthen and improve sleep.  

As a child, Larry was always involved in sports, such as martial arts, skateboarding, and snowboarding (in which he competed at a semi-pro level). So it was only natural that Larry’s natural athletic abilities and competitive side led to an interest in training and weights. Intensely researching and really studying the basics of weight training and its effects on  the body helped Larry decide to turn that knowledge and passion into a personal training business In 1996, Larry met coach Charles Poliquin. Poliquin’s teachings enabled Larry to develop knowledge and training years ahead of what everybody else was doing around that time.  As a result Larry won multiple titles, and was in many magazines over many years. It was Larry who is featured in the Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding put out by Robert Kennedy. A dream come true. Today Larry is set to host retreats in Quebec to help you unleash your superhero too!  This time though, it’s not just about the body, it’s also about mindset,  sleep and remembering to dream your dreams!

Your Hero's Journey —> Who do you think you are? What is reality? what is the meaning of life? Imagine if you discovered that who you THOUGHT you were, was a mere shadow of who you truly are? That my friend...is up to you! There’s a story of a group of prisoners confined to dark a cave. One prisoner gets loose, makes his way outside into the light, out of his shadows, and discovers a higher degree of truth. When he tells the others, they think he is out of his mind.  That’s because so much of humanity is afraid to see the light, and don’t even want to believe it is there.  Yet it is. You too can get out of your own shadows, and discover your light...your internal light. This is the hero's journey and a journey Lee has been researching for decades. What if the light means a higher degree of truth or abilities? That at some level of consciousness, you could learn how to  chose every single moment and manifest your desires? What if heaven could feel like it is here on Earth right now, but it all depends on you and your inner world.  This is what Lee wants to share because everyone has a hero’s journey... including YOU! Lee wants to help you see beyond your current awareness and make use of the wisdom, tools, experiences and alternative perspectives he garnered to help you better navigate through your hero journey too. 

Lee is lending his voice, story, journey of transformation, tools, passion, and compassion to support you in your journey. Lee is committed to helping you understand and embrace your highest self.  

“I wish only to share with you what I have learned over a lifetime of searching and studying health, consciousness and healing arts. I wish for you to gain the same benefits and outlook that comes from working with and mastering the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual mixture from which we are all made.” Learn more about Lee from the Rethink FIT podcast where he shakes about Ancient Wisdom for a Modern World.

Once a FAME Pro, WBFF professional fitness mode, personal trainer and a sponsored athlete who relied on his physicality, Marco‘s identity took a drastic shift after a devastating car accident. Born in South Africa into a mixed-race home during the apartheid years proved challenging for this fair skinned, blue-eyed, blonde-haired boy.  He needed to know who he was, where he belonged. “Mummy, what am I, coloured or white?” was his heartfelt question. “You can be whatever you want to be,” was her liberating answer. From that moment Marco knew that the colour of one’s skin makes no difference, rather character and loyalty mark a man.  So when Marco became paralyzed as a quadriplegic —  Marco suffered one of the worst cases of spinal cord injury at level C5 — he used the same logic. Prior to that he  never imagined that being able to twitch his legs would have been a massive achievement, but  it was the first sign of movement after the crash that gave him hope. Today Marco is able to take a short walk with assistance despite the battles and challenges he now faces daily. He turned his challenges and adversity into fuel, relied on the power of his mind, and met and married his soulmate, Lyndal Pietrowski. A powerful motivational speaker, his heartfelt story of achieving dreams while overcoming emotional, mental and physical hardships inspires those who need it. 

 Yes, having had spent years developing a superhero physique to no longer being able to use it, may seem like a sob story. However, for Marco, it is also a story of success, one you too can replicate. Why? because through the process of retraining his body, Marco tuned into the power of his mind: He became grateful for triumphs even if tiny; present to each action; and authentic to his heart. The result? SELF- LOVE 💕  Now he is going to share his AHAs with you!

His hope is that his story — along with his tools and techniques —  inspires you to believe in you! 

“You have the power of choice to either give up now, or to act in faith and be the very best you can be in this life instead.” 

At age 41, Jodi went from the role of a stay at home mom of 13 years to a full blown entrepreneur when her life shifted following a divorce. Looking for balance and with the goal of inspiring others to work on fitness as a whole that starts with themselves, she took a leap of faith and went after her dream, effectively launching Kettlebell Kickboxing Canada in 2017, the first of its kind in the country. “The kettlebell is the most functionally effective training tool I have ever trained with! Add in kickboxing... wow. With minimal space and the fact that to make the workout more challenging you simply change how you hold the kettlebell, makes it easy to fall in love with 😍!”   In 2020 during the pandemic she bravely launched KBKB Studio, the first flagship location for Kettlebell Kickboxing Canada that allows her to interact with clients across the globe — including ex Navy Seal, Thom Shea — helping anyone embark on a journey to upscale their lives. Writing articles for various publications and getting to be part of Impact Magazines Top Trainers across Canada has added to the success of the past year!I With an education background of a Bachelor Degree in Physical Activity Studies with a Major in Fitness/Lifestyle, Master Level Trainer in Kettlebell Kickboxing, and MKC (Maxwell Kettlebell Certification), she has gone through many evolutions, including mom, CEO, trainer, and author and looks to embark each day with a new opportunity to learn and grow!

Training, as we know, is good for your physical self but it’s the mental wellness that I want to discuss. Engaging in any training program that ensures you are present is key. What better way to shut down your mind’s chatter than to be present in the moment! Training mindfully does that for you! 

“We all know training strengthens the body, but use it right and it can also strengthen the mind!”  Jodi’s Rethink FIT & Grow! Podcast feature.

Stephen Norton, owner and creator of Varo Fitness, a versatile weighted strength and conditioning bar made to be lifted anywhere at any time. With over 12 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, Stephen has owned multiple gyms including the box gym, Phoenix Fitness and Performance where he’s a personal trainer and Olympic lifting coach. 

With the world rapidly changing there is so much uncertainty when it comes to fitness and health. Where will we work out? What will we use? As gym owners, trainers and fitness enthusiasts we’ve had to also change. We needed a way to deliver our product at home. Thus, the Varo Bar was created. A tool that was manufactured to get anyone moving, anywhere. No matter your situation.  The Varo Bar was machined and designed with the ease of a dumbbell, the functionality of a barbell, and the grip of an axle bar. It doubles as a fascia manipulation tool to aid in recovery and movement preparation. This bar can be utilized for entire strength and conditioning sessions, or for accessory movements in your current fitness plan at home or in the gym.  The Varo Bar weighs 33lbs/15kg, and has conveniently located knurling in the most gripped areas. Varo is suitable for all levels of fitness, with beginner to advanced options for each movement. This versatile tool can be used for body building sessions, functional fitness training, olympic lifting and above all has the added challenge of performing these movements with the grip of a strongman! 

“My mission is to help as many people who will listen to improve their health by providing easy-to-use equipment that enhances their fitness experience.”    Stephen’s Rethink FIT& Grow! podcast episode on how to Raise the Bar & Heal the Sould
