Hello, my name is April Newman the owner of

Break the Gym Fitness.

​

I am a certified personal trainer and sports trainer with a Bachelor of Kinesiology, as well as a Business Administration Minor. I have been in the fitness industry for the past 10 years, helping individuals improve their physical fitness, rehabilitation and movement patterns. I have upgraded my certifications, training and education over the years to help my clients reach their goals.

 

My passion for sport started when I was a young competitive athlete and my experience and training now allows me to offer a well-rounded and balanced program to my clients.

 

I am  excited to now offer sports programming for youth athletes in the indigenous community on the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish people.
