Welcome back to the Erica Diamond Podcast. Between COVID, and creating my new online course Busy To Bliss, it has all has kept me away for far too long.
I’m so happy to be back with you guys!
And as I have come to teach over the years, although prioritizing self-care and health may seem like common sense, it’s often the first thing to go when we find ourselves is challenging situations, especially during a pandemic.
That’s why I’m so thrilled to have Val Desjardins on today's episode. She’s here to inspire us to get ourselves back on our to-do lists and care for our mind, body and soul.
Before we went on lockdown, Val was also one of my coaches at her gym, kicking my ass for 60 hard minutes, which then let me reap the benefits and feel the afterglow of all that hard work.
Val Desjardins, also known as PUMP Fitness MTL, has devoted
the bulk of her career to both creating and embracing an
all-encompassing wellness approach. Her 20 years of experience as
an athlete, coach, and entrepreneur have greatly contributed
to the success of her own brand and to the launch of both her
physical and digital spaces in the wellness industry. She is the
owner of The Studio MTL, located in Westmount, QC, and, over the
last year, she has also launched her own platform, the PUMP Digital
Studio.
Val’s distinctive PUMP training method, which combines
individualized cardio, resistance work and mat pilates, has become
infamous and has attracted clients that include celebrities like
Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Pfeiffer and
Coeur de Pirate. Ultimately, her approach is about
empowering people to embrace a mindful lifestyle which she firmly
believes is the path to wellness on all levels.
