Her Story

Cécile de Bretan, owner of Live Life Fit had a vision for helping people and making a difference from a young age. Her inspiration was derived from her 33 years of experience in the funeral industry caring for people who were going through the worst times of their lives. Cécile knew that whatever career path she pursued in the long run, had to be in the field of helping people and making a positive impact on others. While working in the funeral services industry, she collaborated with a business partner she had networked with in the past and decided to take part ownership over a CrossFit gym in her hometown Mississauga. Cécile’s passion for fitness and a healthy lifestyle was the motivation behind this career change. After seeing amazing results from her clients in the city after 5 years, she decided to move her gym to a beautiful location that was currently lacking this niche, Thornbury Ontario.
