TEAM Burnaby

Jessica Lau - Fitness Manager of TEAM Burnaby

I grew up playing all sorts of sports recreationally, but only started exercising again as an adult for health reasons. 
 I started strength training in 2017 as a way to destress. As a petite girl, I did not realize I was capable of becoming strong. I quickly fell in love with exercising. I also run regularly and have done local 10K and half marathons. My physical and mental health improved significantly over time, and I love sharing my passion with those around me. 
I am becoming certified with BCRPA to share more of my love towards health and fitness. I hope to motivate people to become a better version of themselves.
My belief is to surround yourself with likeminded people. Continue to show up even when you do not feel like it - you will look back and be proud of how far you have gone.

Chris Duong

Hi all, my name is Chris, and I am excited to be the newest team member of the Fantasfit family!

Kiwi Cheng

I am a wife, a mom, a foodie, a fitness enthusiast and a bikini athlete. 

Growing up I’ve always been overweight and hated anything fitness related. Eating was my favourite hobby. 

However, 5 years ago at my lowest point of physical and mental health, fitness and proper nutrition turned my life around. I lost 40lbs in 6 months and restored my health, which prepared me for a smooth ride through pregnancy to delivery to postpartum recovery. And as a toddler mom, I challenged myself in entering my first bodybuilding competition on my 31st birthday, winning 4 awards in just one day. More competitions in the days to come!

If you are like me who wants to start somewhere to get fit, or if you are a mom who struggles to find time to take care of your own health or losing weight in postpartum, I am here to help!

Chris Hung

I am a firm believer that fitness forms the bedrock of every individual's success. It may sound cliché, but bodybuilding has been the anchor that saved my life. During the darkest periods of my life when everything seemed to crumble around me, bodybuilding remained a steadfast companion. It was in those moments of chaos that I truly realized a profound truth: fitness is the only thing I can control even in the moment of chaos. Through this realization, I gained an unwavering sense of self-belief, discipline, and courage.

 

As an aspiring natural bodybuilder with over seven years of experience in coaching, I take pride in my ability to provide hands-on coaching with efficiency. To me, guiding my clients toward their fitness goals and cultivating solid relationships with them is both a passion and a privilege. My specialization lies in muscle building, fat loss, and body transformation.

 

Regardless of where you find yourself on your personal fitness journey, I am confident in my ability to offer exceptional guidance and support. Together, we will embark on a journey toward the boundless potential that lies within you.
