Meet Ursula

If you’ve ever trained with Ursula, you’ll know her positive energy is contagious! Always smiling, encouraging, and full of enthusiasm, she has a wonderful way of making everyone feel welcome, whatever their fitness level. Ursula is truly in her element when she’s coaching, bringing so much fun and energy to every class that you almost forget how hard you’re working. Almost!

Stronger, with Every Session

What makes Ursula such a wonderful coach is how much she genuinely cares about your progress. She knows just how to encourage you to go a little further than you thought possible, always paying close attention to posture, technique, and what feels right for you. From strength training and Pilates to stretching and outdoor circuits, she teaches with passion and makes every session feel rewarding. And her encouragement doesn’t stop at the studio door. She wants you to feel confident, keep moving, and carry those good habits into everyday life. It’s easy to see why her community loves her.

Ursula × Leyana: From Friendship to Retreats

Ursula and I have been friends since our twenties, so bringing her very first Fit-U retreat to life together was particularly special. We share a love of movement, good food, beautiful places, and bringing people together. In September 2026, we welcomed eight women to La Barboire Campagne for a weekend of energizing classes, laughter, relaxation, and lovely connections. Watching everyone enjoy the experience, each at their own pace, was such a pleasure. And with everyone leaving wanting more, we’re already looking forward to our next Fit-U Escape in spring 2027!

“I launched my first fitness retreat with Leyana and the process was not only fluid but it was fun to work with Pamela! A true partner fully vested in the success of the retreat I can’t wait to do another one with her!”
