PERSONAL TRAINING FOR SENIORS
As featured in the Times Colonist, many older adults are now experiencing what research continues to support and what many older adults are now experiencing firsthand. Strength training plays a key role in maintaining bone density, improving balance, and preserving muscle mass.
After age 60, the body naturally begins to lose muscle, bone density, and coordination. These changes increase the risk of falls, fractures, and loss of independence. However, they are not irreversible.
Resistance training has been shown to directly counteract these effects. Increased strength is strongly associated with better mobility, lower risk of injury, and improved long-term health outcomes.

Keelan, Owner, Trainer, Coach
Keelan is the sole Owner and Operator of BPM, which he opened in 2016. With over 20-years experience working in the fitness industry, Keelan graduated from the University of Victoria with a degree in Recreation and Health Education with a focus on exercise science and nutrition. He’s a Certified Weight Trainer, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, CrossFit Level-1 Trainer, and Movement Specialist which allows him to work with a diverse clientele from rehab to Olympic lifting, sport-conditioning, and everything in-between. With compassion and care, Keelan uses a proven, science-driven, blueprint to give his clients the tools and guidance for achieving life-changing results in a short amount of time. Outside of BPM, he can be found woodworking, or scheming up a saucy new workout.
Sage, Studio Manager, COACH
Sage grew up playing every sport under the sun, but her main focus was competitive cheerleading, which means she can do a backflip and has a knack for hard work. She has traded lifting people for lifting weights, but her real playground is the outdoors, from rock climbing to road cycling. When she is not climbing rocks, shredding waves, or tripping over roots on hiking trails, you will find her at UVic studying her never-ending Kinesiology notes. If you ever need a break from gym talk, just ask Sage about her cat Chapo. Trust us, you will get a front-row seat to an endless slideshow of orange cat pictures. Looking for a laugh while getting your sweat on? Sage is your gal, as she will probably be in the corner dancing along to the coach’s tunes.
Daniel, SENIOR Trainer, Coach
Daniel has been involved in high level sports, weight training, and coaching for over 7-years. He holds a BA in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from Colorado Christian University where he also played collegiate baseball for 4-years. He received his Certificate as a Personal Trainer from ISSA (International Sports Science Association) and is a Certified Online Personal Trainer from OTA (Online Training Academy), as well as a TPI Specialist (Titleist Performance Institute). Daniel’s focus is on the movement and technical skills of weight training and coaches a variety of modalities including powerlifting, weight lifting, bodybuilding, powerbuilding, mobility, and conditioning. Outside of BPM, his hobbies include golfing, hiking, and reading.
Nitasha, Coach
Nitasha’s passion for fitness was ignited by her love for Olympic lifts and the dynamic energy of cross conditioning workouts. As a certified CrossFit Level-1 Trainer and a seasoned gymnast, she brings a wealth of expertise and a fresh perspective to coaching. Since joining BPM in 2019, she’s honed her skills in simplifying complex training concepts, making them accessible and relatable for all. The gym isn’t just a space for Nitasha—it’s the foundation of her healthy lifestyle, fueling her active pursuits beyond its walls. If you’re on a mission to gain strength, boost endurance, or simply enjoy the thrill of fitness, Nitasha is ready to guide you. Let’s unite at the studio and kickstart an incredible fitness journey together!
Xia, Treat Tester
Xia is BPM’s official Puppy Ambassador and self-appointed treat tester. When she’s not barking at clients to work harder she can be found napping on equipment, doing tricks (for treats of course), and ignoring all the commands her dad (Coach Keeks) and mom (Coach Ivona) give her. If you’re lucky, you might catch Xia at class performing paws squats, or working on her pawsture, but always with a pawsitive attitude.
Ivona, Coach
Ivona, also known as gym mom, or the real boss of BPM, found her love of fitness in the same community she now coaches. With a Masters in Environment and Resource Management and a BSc in Biochemistry, this scientist is not from your typical fitness background. Her love for a solid sweat transferred some of those brains to brawn and when not attending classes herself, you can find the HYROX Certified coach cheering you on in a workout. Suggest a good read and you might just get out of doing burpees!
BEN, Coach
Coming to us all the way from Ole Blighty (England), Ben is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and avid connoisseur of tea and biscuits … and some pretty challenging workouts! Finishing Carpenter by day and Coach by night, Ben began at BPM in 2022 as a member turned Coach and has blessed us with his knowledge and experience of Olympic lifting, high-intensity workouts, and chic British teas. When he’s not at BPM, you can find Ben shredding the gnar at Mt. Washington or enjoying a pot of brown water (tea).
STEPH, TRAINER, Coach
This CSEP-Certified Personal Trainer, BCAK Kinesiologist, and Acro Yoga Instructor with a passion for handstands is all about overcoming obstacles and feeling in control of your body. Whether you’re looking to prevent injuries, rehabilitate, or smash personal goals, she’s your go-to for support, motivation, and a solid plan. Stephanie loves corrective exercises, functional training, calisthenics, weight lifting, and striving for that bilateral symmetry that seems to evade us mortals. When she isn’t helping others with their fitness you can find her working on her handstands or partner acro skills, backpacking our amazing island, or trying to find time to knit.
BRADY, TRAINER, Coach
Brady’s roots span across the diverse landscapes of Canada, from the East Coast to Vancouver Island. With a gold-standard Personal Training certification from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, he’s not just an avid fitness enthusiast but a committed scholar too. As a third-year honors student at Camosun College, Brady is working toward his BA in Kinesiology, eyeing a future Masters in Physiotherapy. His expertise lie in corrective exercise and functional strength training, complemented by a keen interest in calisthenics and skills enhancement. For Brady, the journey is about persistent growth, embracing setbacks, pushing limits, and thirsting for knowledge. Beyond BPM’s walls, he juggles intense study sessions with quality time among friends, ever in pursuit of balance.
AIDYN, TRAINER, Coach

ANDY, TRAINER, Coach
Andy is a Scottish strength & conditioning coach with a background in rugby. He brings a performance-driven mindset while making training accessible and enjoyable for everyone. He prioritizes proper technique, steady progression, and smart programming to help clients build real, lasting strength safely and confidently. My goal isn’t just to deliver results, but to help clients enjoy the training process, move better, feel stronger, and develop a clear understanding of each movement.
HANA, Coach
Hana is a self-proclaimed lover of “type 2 fun.” With a background in varsity rowing, she has a competitive drive and loves working out with a team. Whether it’s on a running trail, on a bike, or in the gym, Hana loves being active and inspiring others to do the same!
HAYDN, TRAINER, Coach
Since 2017, Haydn has combined his passion for fitness with helping others build strength, improve cardiovascular fitness, and perform at their best in competition. With a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education and certifications as a CPT, Conditioning Coach, and Nutritionist, he brings a results-driven yet practical approach to training.
From three Hyrox podium finishes to a national rowing title, Haydn understands what it takes to compete at a high level. He also has extensive hands-on experience working with injuries and knows how to tailor programs to keep you progressing safely.
He’ll help you take the guesswork out of training and guide you toward your health and performance goals.
ALLIE, MEMBER REP
Talk about small but mighty! All the way from Ottawa, Allie brings her enthusiasm for life and dogs everywhere she goes. Her Arctic rescue pup, Tippy, is also never too far behind. By trade, Allie is a communications and social media specialist. With over a decade in various strength sports and experience as a personal trainer under her belt, she lives by the barbell. She loves lifting heavy and balancing strength with longevity and health. She is always down to hear about your latest craft or DIY project!
