My name is Michael Frank and I’m the co-owner of YYJ Fitness Centre, and I am also a trainer/coach here. I’m an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer and have been working in this field for the past 7 years at various gyms across Victoria and Vancouver. 

I grew up playing competitive hockey as a goaltender from a young age which exposed me to high level trainers and coaches giving me first-hand experience into this field of work as an athlete. 

After aging out of juniors, I turned to weightlifting and kickboxing to keep me mentally and physically fit. Exercise has done so much more for me than just keep me physically fit. I truly believe that exercise is therapeutic and something that everyone should be doing regularly and consistently, and that’s why I wanted to bring YYJ Fitness to my local community—to create a space where people come to connect, sweat and get inspired/motivated to be their best selves.
