Angela deJong is a certified personal trainer, author of Reality Fitness, co-author of Pole Pole, author of Be Free, and owner of Acacia Fitness (acaciafitness.com). She graduated from the University of Alberta with a degree in Kinesiology, majoring in sport performance and exercise therapy.

Angela has been committed to her fitness training since 1993. Marathon running, adventure racing, power lifting, fitness photo-shoots, mountain climbing, learning to swim, and generally anything that involves getting out of her comfort zone. Her love for fitness has taken her all over the world in pursuit of meeting others that share her passion, but it was Africa that stole her heart. She has travelled solo to every country on the continent that has mountains higher than 3000 metres, and she has summited all of them over a ten-year period.

Angela lives in Edmonton, Alberta.
