what others are saying

I do my very best to create an open and welcoming environment, whether private training, in person classes or our signature Virtual Fit Camp. The best way to learn about my classes, workshops and me in general is to hear what other people think!
“I've been working out with Deborah Peddle-Hann at Journey to Wellness for a year now and I love how every week, Deb customizes my workouts to exactly what my body needs. I workout at home, but I always do the same exercises. Deb helps balance me out! Last week I had a cramp in a tiny muscle in my butt cheek, from over training my hamstrings and quads, and Deb changed up my routine to work on lateral and balancing exercises. Not to mention how great I feel from the endorphins :) Journey To Wellness is part of my mental and physical wellbeing plan! Thanks Deb! ~ Jessica, Fall River, NS
“Deb is incredible! Her energy and positive motivation on a daily basis exemplify her passion to help others. She genuinely cares about your health and well-being. And I love her fitness classes! I highly recommend!” ~ Christina C.
"Working with Deb was the best decision I could have made for myself! In the past six months I have lost 25 lbs and 20 inches, but I have gained so much more. I have gained muscle, self confidence and most importantly, the habits needed to live a healthy lifestyle. Deb is very relatable, knowledgeable, passionate and obviously loves what she does. It is clear that she truly cares about her clients. She offers a variety of programs and fitness classes to suit varying needs. In her virtual classes, she demonstrates each exercise, provides modifications and focuses on form to ensure you are safely and effectively achieving your fitness goals. No matter where you are on your fitness journey — she has something for everyone! And she will be there to support and challenge you to reach your goals. I can’t recommend her enough — working with Deb has changed my life. ~ VIcki, Halifax, NS
“I have been following the Journey To Wellness program for about a year and have learned a lot about myself, my eating habits (good and bad) and my fitness. I have had successes in all areas of the program and some struggles. But through both, Deb was there to celebrate and support. Deb is available anytime to answer questions, provide guidance and see success when it is hard for me to see!! The program has really become a way of life. This program is fantastic!!!” ~ Megan, Winnipeg, MB
Deborah’s program is very user friendly and not intimidating and she inspired me from day one! Deborah responded to any questions I had within seconds and was always so encouraging along the whole journey. Whenever I felt like I wanted to give up Deborah would post or say something during one of her live updates to keep me motivated! Her workout classes are upbeat and fun the time flies by and it doesn’t even feel like a workout! After just 28 days I feel more confident, energetic and ready to take my next steps towards my goals. I am able to incorporate everything Deborah taught me in my day to day life and I’m loving it and planning to continue living this way. She taught me how to live healthy again!! Thank you Deb! ~ Olivia F.
Deb, You have helped me through these past few months more than you know. I have truly come to realize how important exercise is to my mental health and wellbeing. Your virtual personal training session each week allowed me a personal one-on-one experience that corrected my form and pushed me to the next level. The additional virtual group sessions helped me stay motivated and committed to exercising multiple times per week. I really can't thank you enough for supporting me through this new normal. ~ Jill, Fall River, NS
I started personal training with Deb 5 years ago. As a former fitness instructor, I knew that I had to do something to regain my health, but a serious back injury had derailed me and life always seemed to get in the way. Then I walked into Deb's studio and found not only a top-notch trainer and motivator, but a dear friend. She has been a constant over the years as I dealt with the demands of work and turmoil in my personal life, always reminding me to make my health and well-being a priority. Sometimes I haven't always listened, but Deb has always been there to help me turn things around, and when needed, tell me to get my head out of my ass!! I am 52 years old, and proud to say that I am fit and have ZERO back pain!!! The last few months during the pandemic have been tough, but Deb has risen to the challenge. Her virtual training sessions have kicked my butt (which has shrunk considerably - I have lost 32 pounds in the last 4 months)!! Even remotely, she is a force! ~ Cindy, Fall River, NS
“One of the good things that’s happened over the past year has been finding you and Journey to Wellness. I’m stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been. Thanks so much!” ~ Dawn M.
