Blair Polychronopoulos - 604-983-6368
BCRPA Personal Trainer
When it comes to exercise, functionality is key. An exercise program must be applicable to one's everyday life and should be catered to their lifestyle, as well as their limitations. Exercise should be fun and challenging, while still allowing people to reach their fitness goals. With the help of a fitness professional, dedication, commitment and the use of the right tools, everyone, of every age, ability and talent can reach their fitness potential.
Personal training is a great way to expand on your personal fitness knowledge and experience, in a safe and effective way, while still pushing your personal fitness boundaries. It is a valuable, yet affordable, fitness route anyone can take to achieve his or her ultimate fitness goals and experience. Remember: Gentle perseverance invites transformation, while force invites injury. Therefore, listen to your body and do what you can.

Sukhi Kambo - 604-983-6368
Registered Kinesiologis, Personal Trainer
Wellness is defined as “a state in which a human being functions at an optimal level of integration between the elements of body, mind and spirit.
Sukhi’s belief is that a “well” individual is one who is happy, healthy, and whole and who perceives his/her life as one with meaning and purpose.”
Sukhi prides herself on her high level of knowledge in the nutrition and supplementation field.
While dieting and training may go hand in hand; Sukhi is a true believer in the “no diet” diet.
The foods we eat and the way we train should reflect our lifestyles and who we are for life.
Sukhi’s main pointers for having a healthy and fit figure for life are:
- Use resistance training and interval cardio sessions to boost muscle mass, increase cellular metabolism and become fuel efficient.
- DON'T DIET! Eat a nutritious well balanced diet to discourage "survival" fat storage.
