Jena Finetti

My passion for health and fitness motivated me to begin teaching group fitness classes in 1999. I became a certified instructor and have been teaching a variety of classes over the last 11 years, including step, stability ball, cardiokickboxing, spin, bootcamp, core, sculpt, stretch, and meditation classes. After finishing my Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees at U.B.C., I travelled to other countries, including Taiwan and Australia, to teach primary school and experience and teach new styles of fitness classes. When returning to Canada, I became a certified personal trainer and began working as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and program director at Fitness World in Vancouver, B.C.. At this time, I trained for my first fitness competition and placed first in my height category and overall. In 2006, my desire to combine mental and physical health led me to complete a master's degree in counseling psychology. Following my degree, I moved to Nanaimo, B.C. to start up my own fitness studio, LiveFit Training, where I currently enjoy inspiring and motivating others to be healthy and fit.

Kate Fisher

I am a BCRPA certified Personal Trainer and Yoga Fitness Leader. My personal study of meditation, energy anatomy and Reiki has led me to take a holistic, balanced approach to fitness and health. I have been studying and practicing Reiki (an ancient Japanese form of energy healing) for three years and I have been an avid bellydancer for the past ten years. I put a strong emphasis on feeling good and developing a strong mind/body connection through all the services I offer, whether it be personal training, yoga, bellydance or Reiki. I look forward to sharing my knowledge, skills and enthusiasm with you!
