Nothing gets Patrick more fired up than guiding others toward their goals in the most fun, fast, and efficient way possible. As a certified personal trainer with a tremendous base of knowledge in kinesiology and psychology from UBC, he samples from a wide range of movement disciplines and modalities – in stark contrast to the habitual iron-pumping, treadmill-running practices of big commercial gyms. Whether the goal is weight loss, muscle gain, improved flexibility, or heightened athleticism, Patrick will take care in showing you how to move well, move often, and move in a variety of different ways.

For the beginners who are preparing to embark on the lifetime journey towards health and wellness, be comforted by the fact that Patrick is just as much of a novice as anyone else. As a lifelong learner, he is constantly seeking new knowledge and being humbled in areas such as yoga, jiu-jitsu, gymnastics, and swimming (he can’t float!). Remember, being a novice or an expert – it’s all relative! At the end of the day, everybody is a beginner in one way or another; knowing this, Patrick strives to cultivate an environment of constant learning and curiosity at Crux Fitness.

For the advanced athletes who come into Crux, be assured that Patrick has the knowledge and experience to facilitate huge gains in strength and conditioning. With extensive experience in elite-level youth soccer and volleyball, as well as 6 years of experience as a martial artist – learning from and training with the best boxers, kickboxers, and grapplers in the province, Patrick knows exactly what it takes to reach peak levels of fitness and athleticism.
