Throughout my youth, my parents would always say I was skinny and scrawny. When I started university, I wanted to get bigger and stronger, so I used the university gym occasionally, but was never consistent. After graduating university, I started my career in customer service for a sports apparel company, but I found myself struggling to stay active. I felt I was too busy and struggled to move on my day offs, which eventually burned me out. After I left that job, I lost all motivation to be active. I have to thank Anytime Fitness Richmond team for giving me the opportunity to strive in a positive environment. My motivation came back and I've been lifting more consistently ever since. Being at this gym gave me so much positive energy and I want to bring that energy to everyone that comes through our doors! See you at the gym! :)

I am a full-time Anytime Fitness employee and part-time superhero. During the night I dress up as a bat to help people in need around town. During the day I wear my Anytime Fitness uniform to support my front desk & personal training teams to serve our members better.

Before Chris started his journey into fitness, he was anything but healthy. Chris felt that diet and exercise were a waste of time and energy. Before he knew it, he was 215 lbs and pretty unhappy. Chris decided to take a big step and change his lifestyle, not just for his health, but for his well-being. Without guidance, Chris felt he did more harm than good losing weight in an unhealthy way.

Hi! I’m Karen (: I love being an H2i of the AF team. I’m currently taking a Diploma in Accounting. I’m a graphic designer and also a Marketing Partner at Monat’s Company. But hey, this is not who I am, this is just what I do. I’m a very happy and positive minded person. Being able to find peace in everything I do has become the most important thing in my life. I’ve always enjoyed martial arts and maintaining an active lifestyle. I came to realize that life is made of moments, so I try to enjoy every single moment of it! I find fulfillment when connecting with others and sharing love! Fun facts about me: I look Asian but I’m a Latina as well. I don’t know how to ride a bicycle. I could eat Sushi every single day of my life. My favorite fruit is Durian!

Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach and Registered Health & Nutrition Counsellor (RHNC) Born in Japan, I grew up in a culture that views small and skinny as beautiful. In my early 20s, the only way I knew to maintain my body image was "extreme calorie cutting". At the age of 30, I finally decided to get into a fitness environment to motivate myself to learn & live a healthy lifestyle. I met great people along the way and I was introduced to holistic nutrition. I was fascinated by the health & wellness industry, so I made a decision to educate myself with holistic nutrition with a passion for helping people who are experiencing what I have gone through. Today, I am now coaching people to work towards their physical and mental health goals. I am grateful to keep learning with my clients. Our bodies are very complicated - I believe that knowing our body & mind connecting to happiness & wellness is a life-long education. I'm excited to meet you and be a part of your journey!

My fitness journey started way back when I was in college. I had let myself go and reached 250 pounds. It was then that I knew that I needed to turn my life around in the best way possible. I started working out in underground gyms and focused on proper nutrition. As soon as my health and body improved, I did calisthenics for two years and focused on body strength. I also started helping friends achieve their goals and now, I aspire to inspire individuals who are going through the same path that I have taken, and those that are looking to make a change. I'm a strong believer that everyone deserves the gift of having a healthy body. The gym is my playground, and getting to work at Anytime Fitness and being able to help direct people to their path of becoming healthier versions of themselves, is one of the best achievements I have obtained in life. I hope to see you at the gym, so together we could push towards our goals!

Training with my high school sports teams was my main form of exercise. After graduating, I failed to continue to take care of my body on my own. I found it difficult to put aside time to work out and stay healthy after starting college and a new job. Throughout my life, I struggled with self-love and lacked confidence. I was always too afraid to go to the gym. My goal is to learn how to love myself unconditionally by taking proper care of my mind and body. Now that I have joined the Anytime Fitness team, I have all the resources and support to reach my goal. After coming to Anytime Fitness, I was taught how to feel confident and comfortable at the gym. Everyone I have met has made me feel so welcome and safe. I learned that being new to the gym and not knowing what you’re doing is not a bad thing. In fact, it is a good thing! It means you’re taking that first step into living a happier and healthier life. I am proud to say that I have officially started my fitness journey!

Before I got into fitness, I was an overweight anxious kid with constant knee injuries due to my weight. People picked on me for my appearance constantly. For years, I felt like I was not worthy because of my weight. I would eat a whole Nutella jar and an entire bag of popcorn in one sitting thanks to my anxiety and boredom. Now, I realized the importance of eating healthy, staying fit, and be moving on your feet - even with poor knees! I enjoy activities like hiking, kayaking, swimming dancing and working out in the gym. Thanks to the pandemic, I paused my fitness journey. But now I'm more motivated than ever to get back on track and improve my strength, health and power. Let's commit towards a fit future and see you around the gym! :)
