Jamie’s driving passion is for everyone (including himself) to strive for the best version of themselves. In 2020, Jamie was voted the Spectator’s Readers’ Choice Diamond award winner for Fitness Instructor/Trainer. With over six years of personal training expertise and specialized fitness certifications, Jamie educates his clients about living a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Drawing from his personal experience as a Northern BC goalie and his extensive education, Jamie recognized the importance of combining strength and mobility into his training programs. With this goal in mind, Jamie pursued Fascial Stretch Therapy as a life-changing form of manual therapy to help his clients lead pain-free lives.
After going back to Northern BC during the pandemic to fight wild fires, Jamie realized his dream to empower trainers and clients to reach their full potential. A1 Performance Club is the culmination of that dream.
“I’ve always believed in trying to reach your full potential, and I founded A1 Performance Club with that in mind. By offering the best trainers and the best training environment, our members are provided with a holistic health approach to make all aspects of their lives as fulfilling as possible.”
