Powerful in your body.
Free in your movement.
I'm Patrick Koo, a strength and conditioning coach in Richmond, BC. I help athletes and active adults of every age train smarter and move better so they can keep doing the things they love.
01
Who I work with
My human-centred approach has led me to work with a wide variety of people, from 70-year-old fitness enthusiasts to pro athletes. Nowadays, most of my clients fall into one of these groups:
Athletes
in youth, recreational, and pro sport who want to experience peak physical performance.
Lifters & gym rats
who feel stiff, beat up, or want to chase new athletic goals.
People with pain
that hasn't settled down the way they hoped.
Older adults
who want to stay strong and mobile into their later years.
Coaches & physios
who want to sharpen how they think about movement.

Training that starts with your brain
Your ability to express strength, access mobility, coordinate your body, and even move without pain, are all bodily experiences that are shaped by your nervous system. Disregarding this foundational concept can often result in poor, or partial results. If you've been frustrated by standard rehab or fitness training, you've come to the right place.

What clients say
Over 120 people have left a five star review on Google. Here are a few of them.
“This guy is the real deal. I've been playing volleyball at the highest level for the past 20 years and this stud has still found ways to help me improve and give me more options as an athlete! Highly recommend this man and his candidness is under-appreciated. 5 STARS!”
“Patrick is the only trainer who truly spotted my weaknesses and tailored the workouts accordingly. Within just six months of training, my dancing reached a whole new level — I now have better control of my body and move with greater agility. I've even been brave enough - AT 60 years old!!! - to compete for the first time! Truly grateful for Patrick's dedication and expertise.”
“Patrick has helped me navigate the internal stress and narratives that play out when experiencing pain/discomfort. Tackling my issues (both chronic and acute) from not only the point of physical intervention - but also through education on basic anatomy and human psychology. I'm not just programmed the exercises - I'm learning why they're necessary for my unique circumstances … It's not all mindful/careful work - I get to throw some weight around too.”
