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.

I have been training clients to help them reach their goals for 5 years. In that time, I have helped many clients lose weight, get stronger, and rehabilitate injuries.
I have a strong background in sports, with a great interest plyometrics (explosive training) as well as strength training to help you reach your athletic goals.
My training philosophy is to help make training a fun and enjoyable experience and teaching you the fundamentals of training and nutrition. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals! :)

Becoming a trainer came out of my own love of being active and healthy.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for people to adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle. 
I love seeing people transform their lives through their commitment to growth and hard work.
As every one of my clients strive to become the best version of themselves, they are my biggest inspiration. 

From 2010 to 2020, I worked in Vancouver, BC as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, becoming well-versed in effectively teaching others and sharing comprehensive exercise concepts with them.

While improved health & overall well-being were achieved amongst my clients, at least half of them successfully used exercise to manage medical conditions (post-op cancer survivors; Parkinson’s Disease; post-heart surgeries; etc); work around injuries; and / or strengthen recently healed areas when safely possible.

He has taught more than 8000 classes over the past 7 years and helped many clients reached their fitness goals. Yao specialized in athletic performance, weight-loss program, kids/teenager classes, weightlifting, and other functional movement classes.

Yao believes in lifelong learning and lifelong fitness. Outside of work you’ll spot Yao cycling among shoreline or hiking trails in Northshore. 

The reason why I like exercise is that it has completely changed my life. 
I think exercise not only makes our bodies healthy but also makes our mental health stronger. 
Exercise can develop a strong mental ability to challenge new things or overcome difficulties in daily life. 
The most important thing for me is to make sure that people enjoy working out without thinking of it as work. I promise to make the time you come to the FantasFit the most valuable time of the day.
