About

WHO AM I

I’m a physical activity junkie by day and bookworm by night. I get super stoked on using my knowledge and experience to improve the things that are dear to me: health, sports performance, and people. When I’m not moving, reading, or training others, I love listening to music - anything and everything from Vivaldi to van Buuren. I also love the outdoors, meditation, and psychedelic substances. Sometimes all three of them together.

HOW I GOT HERE

I’ve gone, and continue to go down the rabbit hole of a variety of different physical activities: weightlifting, yoga, running, striking, grappling, cliff jumping, soccer, volleyball, tennis, snowboarding, slacklining, and dancing, to name a few. I see the interconnections between sports. I see human movements rather than “techniques” or “exercises”. This holistic view of exercise science has allowed me to solve the hardest problems for my most frustrated clients. Once again, I’m a book nerd. Nobody willingly learns more about health and performance than I do, and I’ll make sure to apply everything I know to help you crush your goals.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I’ll be your coach and I’ll be your friend. I’ll walk beside you rather than behind you. I’ll guide you instead of guilting you. I’ll teach you the principles of human performance so that one day you’ll be in full control of your own health. I’ll be open, honest, and put my nose to the grindstone for you; in return, I expect the same from your end.

Patrick is the best personal trainer in Vancouver! He helped me achieve many of my health and fitness goals, and also the habits to get there. His remote coaching was very effective, easy to follow, and flexible! I highly recommend working with Patrick!

Patrick is a wonderful trainer! He is passionate, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients success! He took the time to listen and understand where I was at with my health and fitness, what my personal goals were, and then came up with a customized plan that worked with my schedule. He checked in daily to hold me accountable and to address any questions or concerns. I really appreciate how Patrick takes on a holistic approach to health by always thinking of the big picture and different ways/ideas to help better achieve your goals.

Can’t recommend him enough.

If you want a rent a friend who will write a plan for you 5 min before you show, do NOT come and see Patrick. If you want someone who will be motivating, organized, extremely knowledgeable with a plan and will call you out on your excuses in a caring way (and give you some great laughs along the way) – Patrick is your guy. I have been training with Patrick since 2014 and I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. I have literally followed him from gyms because I appreciate his approach so much. What I like most about Patrick’s training approach is his attention to detail and how knowledgeable he is. He has a plan for you based on your current circumstances to move you forward. When setbacks have happened (I have had a few injuries) he adjusts to make sure you are still on track but supportive of what your body needs. I have had two injuries that have been significant. Both times he has done a ton of research specific to my condition. He finds movements that work to support recovery and ones that stay within the advice of physicians. Other trainers I have had in the past have not done this and usually it is “come back when you are all cleared to do what you were doing before.” Patrick’s style is that almost everything can be modified to keep you moving. I appreciate his methods and view on fitness so much that I have him working with my kids as well to help them develop physical literacy. They have grown leaps and bounds since they started with him physically but also with their views on life-long movement. Their confidence has grown. They are better at accepting mistakes. They know that movement every day is good for their body and mind. Best money spent ever. Thank you PK!

Pat is the man. Incredible attention to detail and care for his clients. Helped tremendously with many lingering injury issues despite them being difficult to diagnose remotely. Pat is heavily invested in your success and will ensure that you are staying disciplined in the pursuit of your fitness goals. 100% would recommend.

Patrick is an all-time great, a true HOFer. I came to him with a recommendation from a friend and from our first conversation I realized just how knowledgeable he is on the human body, health, and performance. He really understood what my current situation was and what my goals were, and tailored my program to fit what I needed. In some areas he actually helped me understand my goals even clearer than before. During the training program, Patrick was super helpful with picking out problem areas and key areas for improvement. Tightening up my diet and exercise regimen under Patrick’s guidance showed large and immediate positive effects on my performance, and I make it a point to integrate his teachings into my training to this day. Bottom line is, Patrick’s a great coach who you need on your team if you really care about your overall health and want to perform at your best.

Patrick is da bomb and one of the best trainers I've had! 🙂 His workout is not only fun but effective. Patrick keeps workout dynamic so you don't get bored. He also pushes you without being pushy. On top of all that, Patrick also incorporates wellness - both for mind and body, so it's not just your typical workout. Highly recommend Pat the Man! 🙂
