Heather Hughes
BCRPA Personal Trainer, Group Fitness, Third Age, Precision Nutrition Level 1

Heather started out far from fitness as a tomboy turned desk jockey on Vancouver Island. After some serious weight gain she was rescued by a personal trainer who taught her how to use food as fuel for exercise and improved not only her quality of life, but boosted her self confidence as well. Eager to share her knowledge and passion for fitness, she welcomed the chance to make a career change into the fitness industry and help people the same way she was helped before. She went on to compete as a figure athlete and then to train both bodybuilders and other figure athletes for competition.

“I believe that fitness and wellness are something that all people deserve; that good nutrition and an active lifestyle are a reward for all that one does, not a punishment for a bad food choice or penance for a less than active day.”
