Welcome to the team, Elliott
Welcome to the team, Elliott.
We’re excited to welcome Elliott to the KFS team! Elliott joins us after recently completing his Kinesiology degree at the University of British Columbia, with a passion for helping people achieve their goals and overcoming the limitations of chronic conditions. When I asked him why he would like to become an Occupational Therapist and why the interest in Chronic conditions such as diabetes, stroke patients, and hypertension – he told me about the challenge it provides not only as your trainer but as a health care professional and how rewarding it can be. When working with clients for general and overall fitness, he likes to keep them constantly moving with an intense and high-energy work out focusing on functional movements.
Like most Vancouverites (born and raised), he enjoys hiking and being outdoors when he’s not at the gym. What might suprise you about this local boy is his passion for the arts (and tap dance experience)! During our sit down, I asked him to complete the following sentences with the first thing that came to mind – take a look at his responses when I put him in the hot seat.
