I began kickboxing at the age of 21 after having my son. Martial arts had always interested me and in order to shed some extra pounds, I heard that kickboxing would be a good cardio workout and stress reliever. I tried a class at Peterec's Karate/Kickboxing center in Victoria B.C. and automatically signed up for a full year membership. I started taking two classes per week when I had babysitters. Those nights became my special nights out as I was a stay at home mom. After going through belt tests and doing well at tournaments, I got the competitive edge and wanted to try my luck in the ring. I have realized that my true love for the sport is my passion to compete at the highest level possible. I will do my very best to continue this journey to be a great and well rounded martial artist..

Jackie Taylor

As a trainer my goal is to motivate you, teach you the tools to get and stay healthy in a fun and supportive environment.

I have been a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer in Victoria for nearly 5 years. As someone who has battled their weight for almost 15 years I understand that it is not just about the food and exercise, but about a lifestyle and peace of mind. As a result of my experiences I have the ability to relate on a personal level to better help them reach their goals. I specialize in sport specific training, weight loss and overall body conditioning.
My training method is composed of many different styles including Callisthenics, high intensity weight and cardio training, cross fit and ply-ometrics. I am continuously searching out new styles to add to my resume. In the near future I would like to upgrade my skills further by obtaining a degree in nutrition.

Eden Gathright

 
I have been practicing yoga for 10 years and have recently become certified to teach hatha yoga through Feel Good Yoga and Pilates under the expert teaching of Laura Phelps. I enjoy the unique workout yoga offers as well as the feeling of rejuvenation I  experience after a class.  Recharged and ready to face whatever life presents me with.  I have always enjoyed being active and as a child was very interested in gymnastics and team sports. I have worked with the public for 14 years and value making connections with people. I love to nurture my family and friends and so this vocation feels very right for me. My style is evolving and currently I enjoy practicing balances and having alot of flow to the postures. I sincerely hope I can share my love of yoga and help others to access their own individual sense of self and peace within their bodies.
