On August 18th in Moose Jaw, there were 83 ladies that took part in Femsport, and 3 of them were from the local area.

Renee Michel and Jen Michel from Humboldt teamed up with Amber Amendt from Watson to bring home gold in the Novice category. They took part in 6 different activities to test their physical abilities. Each team was timed on each test, with the team completing the tasks the fastest getting the most points. Amendt is with Anytime Fitness in Humboldt and said a lot of training went into preparing for Femsport.

"Some of my team members at the gym at Anytime Fitness ran through a coach,  personally I just did some stuff in my backyard, I lift weights and attend the gym regularly, so I just do most of my own regular program."

Amendt also took part in the individual competition that day and took home another gold medal of her own. This is the first time that the fitness instructor has taken part in Femsport and recommended other women in the local area to take part in the event.

About seven Femsport events are taking place across the country and the last one is taking place in the month of September.
