Jody Cranston

My name is Jody Cranston. I am the owner of The IRON STONE Outdoor Workout and Power Shape Personal Training. I am also an original and current shareholder of Oranj Fitness which has eight locations across western Canada.

I have competed as a Strength Athlete since 1993. This includes: Powerlifting, AAU Feats of Strength, Weight and Stone Throwing.

I started my Personal Training business in 1997. I have been virtually booked solid since day one. Before that - I was unemployed for two years - all I did was eat, sleep, train and compete.

When I was a kid, I used to read comics about superheroes. When I lift or throw something heavy - especially in a contest - I feel like one of the superheroes used to read about.

I am a huge Elvis fan.

I love movies about Demonic Possession.

My favorite outdoor activity is throwing a 72 pound stone as far as I can.

I am meant to do this...
