Profiles

Lindsay Jurkowski, Personal Trainer/Managing Partner

I am a Personal Trainer and managing partner of Advantage Conditioning Ltd. who believes every person is motivated in different ways to reach their fitness goals. I love helping people make healthy lifestyle changes that they can share with family and friends.

Little known fact: I absolutely hate chocolate.

Chelsea White, Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)/Managing Partner (She/Her)

I graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Therapy in 2010 and began working with Advantage Conditioning in 2011. Over the years, I have continued to follow my passion for rehabilitation by furthering my education and being certified in Function Movement Screening, Soft Tissue Release, Selective Functional Movement Assessment, The Mulligan Technique (Upper and Lower Body), and most recently, Shift Concussion.

Being passionate about sports myself, I understand firsthand what it takes to manage and recover from an injury while meeting life’s demands or participating in the activities I love. I use my expertise to resolve my patients’ injuries, aches and pains through rehabilitative exercises and functional correction. I help them manage their injury so that they could continue following their passion. 

Little known fact: Loves quotes and jokes but never remembers them.

Ashley Phommarath, Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)/Personal Trainer (She/Her)

I graduated from the University of Winnipeg in February 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Athletic Therapy). I joined Advantage Conditioning as a practicum student in 2015 and certified as an athletic therapist in November 2018.

My practice focuses on trauma informed care, educating and approaching healing practices through addressing the mind and body connection in addition to a proper musculoskeletal assessment and exercise based rehabilitation specific to the patient. Treating a patient as a whole is crucial to the success of recovery.

Little known fact: Reads tarot cards and is a Holy Fire Level 1/2 Reiki practitioner.

Laurie Zonneveld, Personal Trainer

I have always been an active person, playing multiple sports growing up and “adventuring” outdoors. My first degree is in Psychology. I worked as a corporate sales representative for four years, during which time I was diagnosed with depression. Using exercise as a tool to combat my depression, I found that the concept of “exercise as medicine” was something I wanted to pursue, and eventually earned my second degree in Exercise Science at the University of Winnipeg.

I love helping clients set goals and watch them progress to achieve them. Everyone is different and everyone is going to choose what the best health plan is for them, but if I can educate and inform my clients so they make choices that promote a happy, healthy and balanced lifestyle, then I know I’ve done my job.

Little known fact: Musically talented but doesn’t tell anyone.

Jordan Warren, Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)/Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)/Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

I graduated from the University of Winnipeg in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Passion and curiosity lead me down a path of lifelong learning where I am also a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). When I'm not in the clinic, I spend a lot of time working with sports teams, including rugby, soccer, and ultimate frisbee. Education is a critical component that is missing when it comes to health, and there is a lot of misinformation out there. My goals are to help you through your injuries and goals but also teach you why it happened so we can take the steps to get stronger than ever.

Little known fact: A man of many talents and modesty.

Rebecca Friesen, Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)/Personal Trainer

I graduated from the University of Winnipeg in February of 2021 and certified as an athletic therapist in December of 2021. I started working at Advantage Conditioning through my practicums, stayed on as an athletic therapist and personal trainer. I am passionate about helping people get pain free through movement and exercise and showing them they are capable of getting strong and living a more active lifestyle.

Little known fact: Loves gardening and potatoes.

Manny Candaele, Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)/Personal Trainer

I graduated from the University of Winnipeg in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. I started at Advantage Conditioning as Chelsea's practicum student and am now continuing to learn while working as a personal trainer. Growing up, my mom was a personal trainer and she taught me how to work out and exercise properly with a heavy focus on good form. That led me down a path of wanting to help people reach their physical potential. I started training, competing and now coaching Muay Thai as a result as well as currently coaching group fitness classes. I am excited to further my experience and begin a career in Athletic Therapy as well to help improve people's quality of life by ridding themselves of pain and becoming the absolute best they can be physically.
