Our Mission

Lyndsay Budgell – Founder. Coach. Athlete. Guide.

Hi, I’m Lyndsay, otherwise known as Coach Lu! — Founder of True North Kettlebell Club and Total Recovery Massage Therapy & Wellness. I’m a Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Kettlebell Instructor, Certified Movement Coach, Master of Sport in Kettlebell Lifting, and a proud Team Canada Kettlebell Sport Athlete.

I bring together strength, recovery, and movement in a way that’s functional, restorative, and empowering. I’m passionate about foundational strength, restorative mobility, and helping people discover what’s possible through kettlebell sport—whether your goal is to feel better day-to-day, enhance your own sport performance or stand on the kettlebell competition platform.

I’ve seen the powerful impact proper technique and thoughtful conditioning can have—not just in my own recovery journey, but in the lives of countless others. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to change how we think about fitness and recovery. One form does not fit all.

Here, you’ll find a different kind of training environment. One that meets you where you’re at, honors your path, and supports you as you build strength—inside and out.
