I started playing soccer at age four, and it quickly became a huge part of my life. After years of hard work, I earned a spot with the Vancouver Whitecaps’ youth academy. Unfortunately, a serious left hip injury required surgery and forced me to step away from the sport. That experience led me to study kinesiology, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding the body and injury prevention and eventually inspired me to pursue personal training. To start this new path, I enrolled at BCPTI, which turned out to be incredibly valuable for me. Even though I’ve never been a big fan of school or attending classes, BCPTI made learning practical and enjoyable. My instructors, Brian, Kat, and Amy, created a hands-on, real-world learning environment that kept me fully engaged. They taught me how to work with different body types and adapt training techniques to fit each person’s unique needs. Working directly with classmates also gave me essential experience, helping me understand what it’s like to work one-on-one with clients. Looking back, I’m glad I went with BCPTI as it gave me the skills and confidence needed to help make a difference in my clients lives
