The path to fitness isn’t always straight. I can be your guide.
Are you interested in getting fitter, stronger, and more resilient? Does it all seem overwhelming because of too much confusing information? Not enough motivation? Or time?
It’s easier to meet your goals when you have the right support. That’s where I (Richard) come in.
When life throws you curves, I’m here to help you find the path to your fitness goals. I can come to you with my gear, wherever is most convenient for you.
Who
is Richard?
Once upon a time, I was an engineer. Then a finance guy. Then the co-owner of an architectural services company. I like challenges! On the side, I always pushed my own limits physically. So about six years ago, I made it official and got certified as a personal trainer. I wanted to help others overcome their barriers to living fit and healthy lives. For the past three years, I’ve been working at the UBCO gym training people of all kinds of abilities.
Full disclosure: I was born when the Beatles were the hottest band around. I grew up in southern Ontario before moving to the Okanagan with my family. I’m proof that age is nothing but a number. With a little help, fitness is achievable with the right mindset and belief in yourself.
