Meet your trainer, Liz.
ACE-certified Personal Trainer

Background
Lizette Mynhardt is an actor from Outlook, Saskatchewan, currently based in Toronto. After 4 years of studying performance arts at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, SK), Sheridan College (Oakville, ON), and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYC), she completed her personal training certification through the American Council on Exercise.
Lizette launched the virtual personal training business “Like A Girl” shortly after the pandemic began in 2020. Originally, her programs were tailored towards teaching women to love their bodies for their strengths and abilities rather than focusing on appearance. Over time, the interest and variety of her clientele grew. This lead to the expansion of her specialty and the development of HardtFit, which focuses on functional strength and cardiovascular endurance. Today, Lizette works with clients of all ages and identities.
Philosophy
HardtFit programs are designed with the belief that fitness should come from a place of balance, as focusing on extrinsically motivated goals rather than what it means to truly take care of yourself can sometimes negatively affect your feelings towards exercise.
Lizette’s goal is to help clients develop and maintain fitness while putting their needs on the whole first. She operates from the belief that moving your body should feel as inadmissible as hygiene while erasing the pressure, guilt, and anxiety that can stem from rigid rules and damaging standards.
Physical fitness is the gift that keeps giving back. What can your body do and where can it take you?
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I have worked with several other fitness trainers before … and Lizette is simply the best! In a year she has taught me so much and encouraged me to be the best of myself. I am stronger, fitter, and feel better about my health at 53 than ever before, and that has translated to every part of my life. While motivating and full of optimism and high energy, Lizette is realistic about health goals and able to customize workouts for me on the spot whether I'm feeling low energy, have unrelated injuries, or am travelling. She quickly adapted from in-person to Zoom workouts during the pandemic so I could continue my progress. Lizette has great knowledge of the human body and nutrition, and it is reflected in the program she develops to help you reach your goals. Her friendly, motivational, easy going personality will have you working harder than you thought possible. She makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly enjoyable. I highly recommend Lizette - she will change your life!”
