Marcus Chen
Olympic Weightlifting & Strength Specialist
Look, I've been lifting since I was 15 and competed nationally for about 8 years. Tore my rotator cuff back in 2017, thought I was done. Learned more about proper movement and recovery in those 6 months than my entire career before that. Now I'm obsessed with teaching people how to lift heavy WITHOUT destroying their bodies in the process. It's not about ego lifting - it's about building something that lasts.
"Marcus doesn't mess around. He called me out on my form day one and I was kinda annoyed, but three months later I hit a 300lb squat without any knee pain. First time in years."

Aisha Thompson
Metabolic Conditioning & Group Fitness
I ran D1 track at UBC and honestly burned out hard my senior year. Took me a while to fall back in love with training, but HIIT brought that fire back. The thing I love about metabolic work is you can't fake it - either you're pushing or you're not. I run my classes like a team practice 'cause that energy is everything. Yeah, you'll wanna quit halfway through, but I've got your back and we're finishing together.
"Aisha's 6am classes are brutal but she makes it fun somehow? Lost 25 pounds in 4 months and actually look forward to waking up early now. Wild."

Devon Rodriguez
Sports Performance & Athletic Development
Played pro soccer for the Whitecaps until a knee injury ended that chapter at 27. Honestly thought my life was over, but turns out coaching was where I was meant to be all along. I work mainly with athletes trying to get to the next level - high school kids going to college, weekend warriors training for their first marathon, that kinda thing. We focus heavy on movement quality and injury prevention 'cause I learned the hard way what happens when you skip that stuff.
"Devon helped my daughter get a soccer scholarship to Oregon State. His speed and agility program was a game-changer. Can't recommend him enough."

Sarah Kim
Powerlifting & Strength Programming
Started lifting in my mom's garage at 19 to deal with anxiety, and turns out I was pretty good at it. Competed in my first powerlifting meet at 22 and got hooked on the grind. I've pulled 405 at 132 pounds bodyweight, so yeah, I know a thing or two about getting strong without getting huge. Most of my clients are women who were told they'd get "too bulky" - spoiler alert, that's nonsense. Let's get you stupid strong.
"Sarah's programming is next level. I went from struggling with 95lb squats to hitting 225 for reps in 8 months. She knows her stuff inside and out."
- Emily T., Nurse
Liam O'Brien
Nutrition & Recovery Specialist
Used to be 240 pounds and couldn't figure out why I felt like garbage all the time. Turns out eating pizza and energy drinks wasn't the move - who knew? Lost 60 pounds, went back to school for nutrition, and now I help people not make the same mistakes I did. I'm not gonna tell you to eat chicken and broccoli for every meal - that's miserable. We'll find what actually works for YOUR life, not some Instagram influencer's idea of perfect.
"Liam taught me how to eat for performance without obsessing over every calorie. Down 35 pounds and I'm still eating foods I actually enjoy. Life-changing."
- Michael B., Accountant
