Hey everyone! I’m Christine, an exercise and wellness enthusiast and World Gym advocate. I hope to share my knowledge with our members to help others achieve their health and wellness goals.

In my spare time I like to stay active by hiking, biking, paddle boarding, and basically any outdoor activity! I also love to travel. I try to follow a plant-based diet and find fun and exciting ways to incorporate exercise into my life. Lifting weights is great, but I also enjoy World Gym's wide range of equipment, classes, and other activities to make living a healthy lifestyle more enticing. I'd love to help you make exercise a part of your routine that you can look forward to. Come and visit us today!

Hey my names Kendra I grew up in the Okanagan. Growing up I was a motivated athlete, playing almost every sport I could in high-school. Since then I've continued my love for fitness. Last year I decided to get my certification as a personal trainer. I'm very excited to give back to the community through something I am passionate about. I love weightlifting and want to help people to feel the same. On top of my love for lifting I also love treeplanting. I've done it for 5 years. Every year it challenges me and makes me a better version of myself. One of my favourite things is to make people laugh and feel accepted.

I was raised in Alberta and was actually homeschooled the majority of my childhood into high school! I graduated in 2021, and then moved to one of Canadas most coveted National Parks, Lake Louise, to work at the Fairmont Chateau for 8 months. I moved here in 2022, and have been studying Kinesiology at Okanagan College since. Since moving here, I’ve met some incredible people at this gym and through school, and I’ve had many great opportunities, one of which was winning first place and my pro card at the WNBF Men’s Physique Competition in June 2023. I do plan on competing again in the future, but for now I’m working towards my post secondary and eventually achieving my personal training/bodybuilding coaching certification.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am originally from Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. Immigrating along side my family, I was raised in Winnipeg before moving to Penticton in the summer of 2022. Now, wishing to further my graduate studies in the field of Kinesiology and personal training, I am excited to begin my professional development in the field by joining the large family that is World Gym.

Hi there! My name is Jasmin, I’m born and raised in the okanagan. My favourite part about the okanagan is all of our beautiful hiking trails & historic sites! I spend a lot of my time hiking with my dog on various trails in the valley enjoying the breathtaking views.

Hi my name is Joey. I was born and raised in the Okanagan. Ive been training/bodybuilding for just over 2 years. I like to hang out with friends and enjoy playing and listening to music. I aspire to one day be a successful personal trainer or at least become the best version of myself I can be in any field that I end up in.
