Jody's Biography

Jody G. Sandler, registered fitness professional, established "In Grand Form" in 1986 to specialize in training under-active adults who want to be in shape and take responsibility for their health. In her popular fitness classes, that ran for over 25 years, she combined her extensive training in fitness, with her love of music and many years of professional experience in dance and theater. Jody's belief in personal growth and health, along with her easy way of working with people, added to the winning formula of In Grand Form.

The newly-launched Jody's Fitness continues to build on the In Grand Form formula with the focus on group and one on one personal fitness training.

Jody has been in the fitness industry since 1981. She is currently a registered British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) trainer and conducts workshops regionally. Her workshops cover the current research on menopause and the older adult market, including body-size factors that inhibit exercise technique in under-active adults. In Grand Form provides a wide network of professionals for her growing number of clients all over British Columbia, throughout Canada and internationally.

Both In Grand Form and Jody's Fitness actively promote healthy eating strategies and focus on programs that are safe, effective and fun. Jody's philosophy encourages people to be happy and healthy no matter what their size or age. In addition to group training, fitness and corporate workshops, Jody coaches individuals in her Personal Fitness Training sessions.

Recognized in the media for her work, Jody has been interviewed by newspapers across Canada, and has appeared on the Life Network, BCTV, in Chatelaine Magazine and on the cover of Fitness Business Canada. Her first video was a Canadian best-seller. Her second video/DVD, "In 2 Grand Form" was released in 1999.

In 2001, Ms. Sandler was nominated for the YWCA's prestigious Woman of Distinction Award. In 2004, she was nominated for the BCRPA Fitness Leader of the Year Award.

Well-known throughout Canada for her outstanding work and passionate approach to health and exercise, Jody has helped her many clients find new enthusiasm for life by keeping fit.
