    Simon Bennett: Built to Win, Success & Sweat

    In this episode of Off Air Talks, Ciara Yaschuk and Lisa MacGregor sit down with Simon Bennett, a true Edmonton original whose impact on fitness, health, and entrepreneurship spans decades. Simon created one of the first personal training facilities in Edmonton — and in Canada — Body by Bennett, long before boutique gyms were the norm. Most recently, he’s the founder of Archetype Gym, a space built around intentional, whole-body training and long-term health. He’s also the original co-creator of Viper, a revolutionary whole-body training tool now used worldwide. Beyond fitness, Simon opens up about his deeply personal health journey, sharing how he ended a 25-year battle with IBS and went on to co-found Sense Naturals tea, turning healing into purpose. From training Edmonton Oilers players to building every venture from the ground up, Simon walks us through the mindset, risks, failures, and lessons that shaped him into the entrepreneur he is today. _______________________________________________________________________ Ciara and Lisa's hair brought to you by Below Hair Studio.
