Jean-Jacques Barrett

A 5x Pro Fitness Model Champion and creator of his own evidence-based training system, JJ combines deep industry knowledge with a calm, collaborative approach that empowers athletes to think critically, train intelligently, and execute relentlessly.

His coaching journey began in 2007 when he won the MVP Quest Physique Model Search during his first year of competition. That win ignited a passion for high-level performance and led to an internship with Olympic-level strength coaches in Montreal. These formative years cemented his foundational belief: that natural athletes deserve systems built for excellence—not shortcuts.

In 2015, JJ launched his own coaching methodology rooted in long-term health, intelligent progression, and athlete self-leadership. As the TWW Coaching Manager, he mentors team coaches and ensures clients benefit from strategic structure and elite-level standards.

Janelle Marks

Janelle’s educational background includes a CSCS certification, a Health Coaching Certification from the Health Coach Institute, and continuing studies in Health Psychology and the Menno Henselmans Evidence-Based Coaching Program (2025–2026). She has also completed mentorships with industry leaders Cliff Wilson and The Wonder Women founders, JJ and Michelle MacDonald.

Her path to coaching began with her own personal healing. During a chapter marked by depression and burnout, Janelle found solace in lifting weights on her living room floor. That one choice—picking up a dumbbell—became a turning point that led her from the corporate fashion world to a life of purpose, helping women rise through movement, nutrition, and inner work.

Her coaching philosophy is rooted in critical thinking, adaptability, and presence. She doesn’t prescribe cookie-cutter protocols. Instead, she works with each client’s season of life, capacity, and goals to craft a plan that honours their reality—while gently stretching their limits.

“My approach is simple: coaching only works when we’re all in. I bring the framework, accountability, and perspective—but the real magic happens when women show up ready to be honest, coachable, and committed.”

Janelle specializes in working with high-performing women 35+ who carry immense responsibility and are finally ready to prioritize themselves—not out of vanity, but from a place of legacy, impact, and healing.

Carolyn Pruemer

Carolyn is an expert in guiding women 35+ through deeply rooted health and identity shifts—particularly those starting “late” or navigating autoimmune, hormonal, or structural limitations. She’s certified by ISSA (Personal Training, Bodybuilding), Precision Nutrition (Level 1, recertified), Layne Norton’s BioLayne Level 2 Nutrition, DLD-OFNC, and is a Certified High Performance Coach through Brendon Burchard’s program. She has also studied with elite strength coach Sebastian Oreb to refine her technical understanding of core lifts.

Carolyn specializes in mindset reconditioning, long-term habit change, and the physical and emotional reclamation that occurs when women prioritize their health—often for the first time in decades. Her style is practical, compassionate, and anchored in lived experience. Having undergone two hip replacements herself, she understands the realities of aging joints and limited mobility—and what it takes to rebuild strength from the ground up.

“I’ve been where most of my clients are—overwhelmed, discouraged, and putting everyone else first. My job is to help women realize they can rewrite that story. It’s never too late to start, and you’re always stronger than you think.”

Her clients are proof. From grandmothers in lean builds to caregivers reclaiming their strength and identity, Carolyn’s roster is filled with resilient women achieving milestones they once thought impossible.

Anni Bedrossian

Her foundation as a CanFit Pro Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, and graduate of The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition allows her to take a whole-person approach with every client. But her true superpower is mindset coaching. A self-described “growth junkie,” Anni helps women shed limiting beliefs, overcome emotional sabotage, and build an identity rooted in strength and self-leadership.

Anni’s path into coaching was born from a love of movement. A marathon runner, yoga teacher, and weightlifting enthusiast, she found coaching to be the natural next step in her evolution. After competing under the mentorship of Michelle MacDonald, she joined the founding class of Wonder Women coaches—eager to help other women break free from self-imposed limitations and discover what they’re capable of.

“Most women already know what to do. They just need the tools—and permission—to stop getting in their own way.”

Her coaching style is collaborative, honest, and anchored in lived experience. She works best with women over 35 who are done with perfectionism, ready to do the inner work, and craving a lifestyle rooted in empowerment, structure, and self-respect.
