TAMER YOUNG

PERSONAL TRAINING, GROUP FITNESS

Hey, I’m Tamer, and welcome to my favourite space!

I’ve loved this industry from the very beginning when I started as a fitness instructor in 1999! In 2003, I transitioned into personal training and knew this was my calling! I went on to study Nutritional Coaching to optimize my skills and offer even more support and guidance to the amazing folks who walk through my door.

I established Fit on 6th in 2009, envisioning a supportive and inclusive fitness environment focused on fundamental training principles and most importantly, humanity and compassion. As a mature woman and mom in the fitness industry, I truly wanted to understand my clients’ unique needs and goals and work toward them together… and here we are still going strong 16 years later!

I connect to so many of my clients on many levels, and we work through anything life throws at us! Things like menopause & hormone changes and chronic injury are all things I can definitely relate to. As an avid athlete on top of all of that, (I currently dragon boat!) I appreciate the need for modifications in movement to truly help your body's overall function, to help avoid injury and support you through any life stage.

I’ll develop a workout tailored to YOUR specific needs and incorporate things you enjoy to make your workouts fun!  Whether it's lifting, running, golfing or paddling or improving flexibility and mobility, I will design your workout specific to your body and your lifestyle!

This beautiful Studio in the heart of Downtown New Westminster is truly unique. If you’re tired of big , crowded gyms, and are looking for a safe, 1 on 1, no judgment zone where you can be yourself, share your story and get a great workout - you’ve found your place!

I look forward to training you!

SCOTT HARRIS

PERSONAL TRAINING, GROUP FITNESS

My journey to this path began with my Mom’s battle with cancer.  For the better part of a year I witnessed her fight through the highs and lows of her illness. The inner strength I developed from accepting the loss of my Mom, motivated me to make changes in my own life.

I remember my own humble beginnings in fitness; navigating my way through weightlifting was overwhelming. I felt like a fish out of water. The strength I developed in the gym inspired me to help others lead a healthier, positive life.

I have been in the health and wellness industry and trained clients of all fitness levels for the past 15 years. 

I offer traditional strength and conditioning workout programs but my true passion lies in the exploration of unconventional fitness. 

I have experienced first hand what kettlebells and steel mace can do for our mental and physical well being. 

Whether you choose more traditional strength training, kettlebell work and/or Steel Mace Flow I provide you with the tools and techniques to help you safely get to where you need to go. 

The most important thing is that you find movement YOU love to do! 

Together with dedication, hard work, sweat and a little humour, we can unleash your inner warrior.
