Honoured and Humbled: Reflecting on the 2026 Impact Magazine Awards

This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind, and I am still trying to find the right words to process it all. At the 2026 Top Trainer Gala, I had the incredible honour of being recognized alongside some of Canada’s most dedicated fitness professionals and was officially inducted into the Impact Magazine Hall of Fame as Trainer of the Year.

What makes this recognition so deeply meaningful isn’t just the award itself, it’s the journey, the shared passion, and the incredible community behind it.

I spent the weekend surrounded by industry leaders, sharing fresh ideas, building new friendships, and connecting with fitness professionals who are changing lives across the country. Leaving the gala, I feel incredibly inspired and more motivated than ever to bring that elevated energy back to our community.

A Massive Thank You to You

Most importantly, I want to shine the spotlight back on the people who made this possible: my clients, family, and supporters.

Thank you for trusting me with your health, your mindset, and your fitness journeys. Your belief in my coaching, your unwavering commitment to showing up for yourselves, and your willingness to put in the hard work every single day are the real reasons I get to do what I love.

This recognition doesn't just belong to me. It belongs to all of us. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, and for continuing to challenge me to grow as a coach, a mentor, and a person.

The Journey Continues

I am deeply grateful for how far we’ve come together, and I am so excited for the chapters we have yet to write.

Thank you for your trust.

Thank you for your support.

Thank you for being the heart of this community.

Here’s to reaching the next level, together!

With gratitude,

Uli
