About Hayley
Hayley McGowan
One of my most important life values is my health and well being, which explains why I have been an athlete my entire life. I have experience as a competitive swimmer, a college level volleyball player, a distance runner and a triathlete. In 2006 I completed my first Ironman Canada Competition in just over 12 hours and I went on to complete it again in 2007. Ironman was not a short journey; rather it was many years of hard work and dedication with many small accomplishments along the way. I now pride myself on encouraging my clients to step out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves to reach for their own goals by experiencing small victories along the way. It can be as small as hiking up the Grouse Grind or as large as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

Client Testimonials
I have been training with Hayley for the past 3 years. We have trained through pre natal and postnatal recovery, old sports injuries and through times of good health. In every situation, Hayley pushes me to excel and challenges me, in a way that is totally appropriate to my current situation. She is always seeking out and sharing new information, and continuously upgrading her skills, for the benefit of her clients. She is very professional, on time, a great listener and a ton of fun to work with.
Julie Blanchard - Kiss and Makeup
Hayley has helped me prepare for the New York Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Oliver Half Ironman, all of them huge challenges for me. Training for New York I sprained my ankle 6 weeks before the race and Hayley never wavered in her belief that I would be ready for the race even though my ankle was 5 times the normal size. She changed my road and track runs to water running and kept me on task throughout those boring workouts by getting in the water and doing them with me. With her confidence and support I had a great race and qualified for the Boston Marathon. When I crossed the finish line in Boston, Hayley was the first person to call me and congratulate me. During my training for my first triathlon Hayley encouraged, trained and supported me throughout the whole experience. She took me on my first ever bike ride with clip in pedals, my first harrowing ride through major semi trailer traffic, and my first long distance ride. Each ride was a giant leap outside my comfort zone and yet she instilled me with confidence to take on the challenge with her unending encouragement. (She also let me draft behind her when she knew I was hitting the wall) When I approached the finish of my first Half Ironman who was there to run me in? Hayley, with a huge smile on her face. It is clear that Hayley loves what she does and makes every effort to help her clients find the best in themselves.
