IMPACT Magazine has officially opened nominations for its Canada’s Top Fitness Trainers 2026, inviting Canadians to recognize the personal trainers, coaches, and fitness professionals who inspire, challenge, and transform lives across the country. Nominations are open now and close at midnight on November 1, 2025.
Each year, IMPACT celebrates the best in the fitness industry through its Inspiration Issue, profiling ten outstanding trainers from each region who demonstrate exceptional expertise, community leadership, and client impact. The 2026 honourees will also be recognized at IMPACT’s annual Awards Gala and Recognition Evening.
Nominations are open to all fitness professionals in Canada, and individuals only need one nomination to be considered. Candidates are evaluated through a blind-scoring process based on education, certifications, expertise, community service, and positive impact—not popularity or number of votes.
For 2026, IMPACT introduces a new rule: previous winners may be nominated again, provided they have not been featured in two consecutive years. Winners will be notified by January 2, 2026, with public recognition following in the January/February 2026 issue of IMPACT Magazine.
To nominate your favourite trainer and help celebrate Canada’s best in fitness, visit impactmagazine.ca before the November 1 deadline.
