Who Is JVS Performance

Welcome to JVS Performance,

I wanted to take a moment to give you some idea of who I am and who you might be working with as a client at JVS Performance. I was born in Ontario, but moved to BC at a pretty young age, definitely grew up a west coast kid. As a kid I played a few sports, but none that stuck with me as much as football. I loved it most for the discipline it demanded, but as I grew older I quickly became outsized for the sport. My love for it and my ability to persevere through it did not stop me from suffering some injuries that ultimately led me to leave the sport. Those injuries became chronic back problems that stuck with me through my 20’s and I never knew how to manage them. I worked long hours as a sous-chef at a local restaurant and battled through the pain without knowing what to do about it. I had wanted to get out for a couple of years, and the opportunity to move forward finally came around age 27. I had worked with a personal trainer for about a year at this point, my physical condition was improving, and I was ready to move into my new career. I went back to school at Camosun College for Kinesiology. At this point, I am 3 years into that degree and have been training clients for over a year.

My main goal is to make everyone feel like an athlete, help them feel confident and capable in the gym, and make exercise an enjoyable experience for everyone.
