Quick answers
Who is Celeste Turner?
The co-founder of Transforming Fitness alongside physiotherapist Jodi Steele. The Welland Tribune (2017-04-25, "App has transgender support in mind") opened by reporting that "two Niagara women are developing a course" to help transgender people; the rest of the article is behind PressReader's paywall. Jodi Steele's own site says she is "working with a team that has designed and will soon be offering a specially designed exercise program for transgender individuals called Transforming Fitness." On the HealthTO stage (0:25) the pair described it as "an online exercise prescription platform for transgender individuals." No fetched page gives Turner's professional title or city, so this profile does not state one.

Yes, once.

The Embodia course page that once credited the pair now redirects to Embodia's catalogue, which lists Steele as an instructor but not Turner (checked 2026-10-21).
