Ruth holds bachelor degrees in both physical education and recreation studies from the University of Manitoba and a Master’s of Science from Indiana University. She recognizes the need to offer strong leadership in her field and specializes in providing fitness training and exercise adherence strategies. Ruth has been in a sweat for fitness for a while!

She has had an extensive career as a professional fitness and lifestyle consultant. Since the early ‘80s Ruth has offered her insight and inspiration to the fitness industry as an exercise instructor, personal trainer, program director, conference presenter and business leader.

After a comprehensive look at what was happening in Winnipeg’s health and fitness industry, Ruth partnered with long time friend, also a University of Manitoba Phys. Ed grad Pam Horan, to develop Strategym Inc. a “new model” of fitness delivery featuring an elegant and private atmosphere matched with professional physical educators where the process of achieving sustained health for the client is the focus. Strategym is a testament to their belief that when exercise is a pleasure, fitness is easy.

In 2003, Ruth established a fund at the University of Manitoba to provide a bursary for students enrolled in the Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Science program pursuing studies in the physical education stream with a focus on fitness.

Ruth is married to David Asper and has three children, Daniel Rebecca and Max.
