Mitch Calvert

Fitness columnist

Mitch Calvert is a Winnipeg-based fitness and nutrition coach who helps busy parents over 40 lose belly fat, get strong, and actually enjoy the process.

After struggling with his own weight for years and burning out on every extreme diet out there, Mitch discovered a flexible, habit-based approach that helped him drop 60 pounds and keep it off. That experience became the foundation of Cal Fit and the Big 5 Framework, a simple system that has helped more than 1,500 people transform their bodies without giving up their real lives.

Mitch specializes in coaching people who have tried everything, feel stuck, and want a no-BS plan that fits into school drop-offs, career demands, and hockey practices. His clients don’t have hours to train or the desire to swear off fries forever. They want sustainable results, and Mitch is the coach who gives them the structure, accountability, and real-world strategies to get there.

He’s been featured in national media, writes a health column for the Free Press and at Men’s Health online, and runs high-impact transformation challenges that consistently sell out.

When he’s not helping parents reclaim their health, he’s playing hockey, dad-ing hard with his daughters Quinn and Grace, or building the systems that will turn Cal Fit into one of Canada’s top coaching brands.

If you want a coach who’s been in the trenches, knows what actually works, and won’t let you hide behind excuses, Mitch is your guy.
