My name is Amber Kubos and I am the Health and Fitness Manager here at the YWCA Lethbridge. Physical activity and fitness are a great passion of mine. I am here to share and help everyone maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. 

Some activities I am involved in are running, strength training, water skiing, wakeboarding and basketball, to name a few. I also enjoy travelling back to my home town Fernie B.C to spend time with my friends and family!

I received my diploma in Exercise Science (2008) through the Lethbridge College, which has qualified me to become a Certified Personal Trainer through the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology. I have also furthered my knowledge and became a Certified Resistance Training Specialist through AFLCA (2007), a Personal Trainer Specialist through Can-Fit Pro (2007) as well as a Nutrition Wellness Specialist through Can-Fit Pro (2009). These certifications enable me to perform fitness appraisals, prescribe and create individual exercise programs to the needs and fitness goals of each individual.

My name is Cheryl Ritzen and I am a Health and Fitness Assistant here at the YWCA Lethbridge.I have completed three years of college at Lethbridge College (LC): one year in General Studies, directing many of my studies to fitness and health and the last two years in the Exercise Science Program.  Exercise Science taught me how to teach proper exercise techniques, how to eat well, and how to reach overall health.

I have an immense interest in physical fitness and health, and how it can change and empower those who are committed to take action.
