HISTORY OF THE FOUNDER
Tanya Then:
Zen Yahweh Fitness was founded by Tanya Zentner in 2008. She has lived in the North Peace since October of 2001. After the birth of her son in 2001, she was happy to have & enjoy him, even as a single mother with no support. Yet, financially, physically, & emotionally, she was unhealthy and at a very unhappy point in her life weighing 264 lbs in May 2001. She chose to make a change and vowed to herself and to God that moving to Fort St. John in October 2001, would be a turning point and a fresh start for the life of herself and her family. She then began the journey to a new look at her own perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs, as well as her physical being. Tanya at the midway marker:

She then embarked on an adventure to higher education, a new career, and making a difference for others in her region and province. After Finding the way to a healthy life for herself with research, hard work, and determination, She was overflowing with inspiration to share that knowledge and learn more to help the numbers of people that were asking her for help after they saw her struggle and achievement all on her own with no formal training. So she went back to school to do just that. This picture is Tanya attending her college graduation celebration on August 31, 2008 at 5'9", 137.5 lbs........→ |
