Wanetta Beal
Wanetta has an infectious energy that motivates and inspires others to action. Her passion for life, and living it to the fullest, makes her an engaging speaker. Wanetta and her husband Grai, live in Qualicum Beach and own One on One Fitness where they help their clients change their bodies through nutritional counseling and personal training. Wanetta has been a Weight Watchers leader since 1998 helping thousands of people reach their goals. Always pushing herself out of her comfort zone, Wanetta is the first woman to run the famous, West Coast Trail in a day. She’s also ridden her bicycle from Alaska to Mexico, competed in Ironman Canada and runs Ultra Marathons every year. Her sincere interest in people and their welfare and happiness shines through.
In 2011 Wanetta cycled across Canada on a 100% raw vegan diet. Then in August, 2011, she became the first woman ever to complete three back to back Ironman Triathlons. Previously, no woman has completed more than one consecutive event. She had only intended to complete two in 48 hours, but when she woke up Monday morning, she felt so good, that she decided to go for a third. She completed all three in less than 70 hours with very minimal sleep. (Rumor has it that she may have done a fourth if her support team had not put her in the van and brought her home!) Her raw vegan diet is the reason she became stronger each day, even as she pushed her limits. Check out this article by our local sports editor, for more of the story.
