From a young age, I was immersed in elite-level sports, which naturally evolved into a deep passion for fitness. In 2013, I became a founding member of Westcore Training Centre in Victoria, and soon after began working as a trainer. Fitness was my foundation — but life took me on a detour. I discovered a love for travel and spent several years exploring the world, stepping away from the gym and, at times, from myself.

When the pandemic hit, like many, I lost my rhythm. A series of heavy life events led me to leave Victoria and relocate to the Comox Valley — a move that turned out to be the reset I didn’t know I needed. Surrounded by nature, mountains, and hiking trails, I reconnected with what truly fuels me: movement, strength, and community. As I got back into training, that old fire reignited — and with the universe watching, an opportunity arose to bring Westcore to the Valley.

At Westcore Training Courtenay, we offer a unique semi-private personal training model: fully equipped individual training pods, customized programs, and the support of a coach every step of the way. It’s the perfect blend of personalized attention and a motivating, community-driven environment. To me, strength training is about so much more than aesthetics — it’s about how you feel: stronger, sharper, more resilient, and deeply connected to your body and mind.

Our mission is simple: to help improve the quality of life for as many people as we can — through fitness, education, and community.
