Jada Avon wasn't looking to start her own business initially. She and her brother just wanted to lose weight. “My brother and I got this idea after we lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise,” Jada recalls. “I was seeing a personal trainer at the time and my brother mentioned this idea of an exercise club, but I thought he was crazy.”
Jada then went through CanFit Pro to become a certified trainer. She launched Back Yard Boot Camp in spring of 2010 and has shown no signs of slowing down. “I put a small ad in the St. Albert Gazette," notes Jada, "and within a month I had 50 clients!” Jada's classes are split into two time periods: mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
