Hello! My name is Ron Marasigan, and I’m one of the lead instructors at Koofit Sports Performance Academy. I’ve been a NASM Certified Personal Trainer since 2016. I have worked with general fitness clients looking to lose weight and gain muscle. Now as an instructor at Koofit Sports Performance Academy, I continue to bring my clients results, as well as training more athletes using strength and conditioning approaches. Form, fast, and function are the 3 pillars that represent my philosophy on fitness; improving the body’s overall strength and endurance using high-quality movement, performed with intent. My goal is to provide a challenging and functional training session to all my clients at Koofit, while maintaining an interactive and enjoyable training environment.

My name is Dean Fitzsimons, Co-Founder of Koofit Sports Performance Academy. I have been a certified personal trainer for over 10 years now and have worked with over 500 clients. I struggled with being overweight in my teenage years and know how being overweight, unfit and unhealthy can affect the lifestyle, especially from childhood into adulthood. Being in the fitness industry for this long, it’s safe to say to guide others to a more physical, active and healthier lifestyle is my passion. With many years teaching kids on how to be more active, eat better, move better and to instil discipline when it comes to physical performance, I am looking forward to helping your kids discover the benefits to living a more physically active life.

Hi! My name is William Wright, and I’m one of the lead instructors at Koofit Sports Performance Academy. Growing up, I would just sit around playing video games until I got involved in sports, but by the time I graduated high school, I had managed to become extremely active, playing competitively on all school sports while maintaining my school work and learning an instrument. Now I have travelled the world, having fought internationally with the Canadian Karate Team, completed a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology at UBC, and I’m currently working as a personal trainer with a Gold Standard Certificate in Personal Training. I have a wealth of experience in teaching children discipline, life skills, and good values from teaching kids Karate and I’m excited to bring that experience to Koofit.

Hi! My name is Tré Bui, and I’m a Sports Performance, Boxing Padwork and ACE Certified Personal Trainer at Koofit Sports Performance Academy. I grew up involved in sports like Football, Track & Field, Boxing and Rugby throughout my whole life. It was the camaraderie and the pursuit of bettering yourself that led me to becoming a personal trainer. I stumbled upon coaching after finding myself constantly sharing the lessons that i learned from my sporting life with other people, so that they too could achieve the growth and progress I was lucky enough to have. My training philosophy revolves around unlocking the body’s movement and capacity to perform outside of the weight room. As a trainer, my biggest goal would be to show that ANYBODY can be an athlete in their own right through hard work, but also, intelligent work and unyielding commitment.
