Fight For Your Dreams               

 

Cutting Edge Fitness is owned and operated by Brandi Burns.

Brandi has been an active athlete her whole life. As a child of the early 80's before girls only teams existed, when women's power suits were vogue as a symbol of strength and equality, when Arnold was a celebrity bodybuilder and  when  the first mainstream fitness magazines were  starting to sweep the nation, Brandi was always playing sports with the boys. Her teachers would often use her skills as an example to the other students that girls can do everything that boys can.

 

As Brandi grew into a teenager, she was introduced to martial arts. It became a turning point in her life when she realized she could do very well at it. Brandi double graded once by obtaining a score of 100% on her test, a score that is to this day very rare, and at that time was the fastest person to achieve a black belt in her clubs history.  Fuelled by a burning passion for the art and a desire to succeed despite the physical limitations of asthma and scoliosis, she attended many seminars and tournaments. She was national champion several times and the highest title earned was a silver medal at the General Choi's cup, which was an international event. At a mere 115lbs Brandi was often picked out of a crowd of 500 black belts at seminars to demonstrate power. Brandi reached 2nd degree black belt and became head instructor of the Morinville club before being introduced to bodybuilding.

 

Brandi began bodybuilding in 2001, first as an attempt to gain weight for martial arts competitions, but quickly fell in love with the sport and began competing in that too. "Becoming a personal trainer just made sense to me. I can’t imagine my life without exercise and fitness. It is a part of who I am, and I would like to share all of these wonderful experiences with everyone."  Brandi now helps her clients realize their own potential and accomplish their fitness, athletic, and weight loss goals.
