Welcome to Kinetic Fitness

Born and raised on PEI, Julie has always been a very active person. She loved the outdoors, organized sports, yoga, surfing and biking. But after college, she realized that she fell into a busy and unhealthy lifestyle that also got in the way of doing what she loved most. She decided to hop on a journey to become a healthier person.

After making some changes, she saw the benefit it had, mentally and physically. So from that day on, she made it her life’s purpose to help others feel the same. She got certified, worked in gyms and with fitness companies. Fast-forward 13 years later, she is still very passionate about fitness and helping others in their journey.

”I know what it’s like not knowing where to start, or to stay on track and to stay motivated. That is why I continue to educated myself, and make it a goal to create a safe, comfortable and positive environment for people to stay healthy”

Today, Julie calls Kinetic Fitness her fitness home. ” It’s like a family here. It’s a community, it’s people helping others, no matter what fitness level you are.”

Amila started her career in the fitness industry in the summer of 2013, after spending 2 years of developing her own HIIT programming she decided to bring her short, intense and easily modified workouts to the masses! Fast forward 5 years and she is now Co-owner of Kinetic Fitness and teaching HIIT and Spin regularly as well as training private clients throughout the day.

It was Amila’s dream to shift the focus in the fitness industry from one that is mainly vanity driven, to a stronger focus on functional fitness and developing ability level.

“Don’t worry about how good you look when you show up for class, it’s not something we focus on here, just show up and work to your fullest ability level. Keep your mentality positive, encourage others, and let others cheer you on as you achieve your goals. We are all in this together!”

Bio coming soon.

Jamie took her first spin class with Amila back in 2015 and she was instantly hooked! In late 2016, Jamie completed her Portable Equipment Group Fitness Leader training through Fitness NB and taught her first spin class at the Kinetic Fitness Anniversary Open House in January 2017.

When she’s not pushing you through some super fun intense drills on the spin bike, cheering you on in a HIIT class, or working her day job – you’ll likely see her right next to you, killin’ it, in a Kinetic Total, HIIT or Athletics class.

When we asked Jamie what she loves most about Kinetic Fitness she said “The inclusive environment. It really is like a family here, with everyone encouraging each other and helping each other out. Walking through these doors is my favorite part of the day!”

Justin is a certified Schwinn Indoor Cycling instructor and a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer who started teaching classes at Kinetic in 2018. His roots are in running and training troops with the Canadian Armed Forces.  He found his way to weight training while deployed to Afghanistan in 2004.

“I love the drive, the push to get better, setting goals and moving through them…most of all I love seeing people succeed and helping them do that”

Come check out one of his HIIT or Spin classes, he loves seeing new faces and helping set a path towards your fitness goals.

“It’s amazing what you can do in 30 minutes, give yourself the chance”

A positive vibe, motivating approach to training and a solid knowledge base are all must haves from our Kinetic staff. So, when coach Ty came into work on a Monday morning to tell coach Amila he found a new Kinetic trainer over the weekend, she was interested and had to meet him. Michael graduated from Holland College’s Kinesiology diploma program in 2018 and is currently earning his Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Prince Edward Island. You’ll find Michael leading our Kinetic Camp, Fit and Athletics classes. When he’s not coaching, you’ll find him right next to you in an Athletics class throwing some plates around. When we asked him what his favourite part about working at Kinetic was, he told us “the positive vibe, I love being able to see people make progress in the gym and hear about the positive effect it has in their lives!” Michael’s innate ability to lead a fun, yet killer work out is one of the many reasons we love having him as part of our family!

In 2015 Rebecca completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training through the Maritime Yoga College. Since her 200-hr training, Rebecca has also completed a 25HR Baron Baptiste Flow Yoga Training, Yin inspired training, Level 1 Reiki certification, is a Schwinn certified indoor cycling instructor along with a Indian Head Massage Practitioner.  When she’s not guiding yin or meditation online for BodyW8 Balance, Rebecca can be found cranking tunes and guiding drills for Kinetic’s die hard spin addicts or throwing some weight around during open gym, Athletics or Total. When we asked Rebecca what her favorite part about working at Kinetic was, she answered “the supportive environment – I’ve never met a group of people who have wanted me to succeed more than this team!”

Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Victoria was always active and loved going to the gym. It wasn’t until she moved to PEI that she fell in love with spin classes and became a regular at Kinetic’s noon classes.

She took her love for spin to the next level and got her Schwinn Indoor Cycling certification in Toronto in 2017. Soon after that she was leading groups of sweaty spinners 3 days a week with a smile on her face the entire time. Victoria is your number one fan. Don’t believe us? Set foot into one of her classes to find out for yourself! She has your best interest in her heart and head 110% of the time and will encourage you through drills that you never thought you could do. We asked Victoria what her favourite thing about Kinetic was and she told us “the community vibe! We all celebrate in one another’s accomplishments and it’s amazing to see people succeed and grow each and every day.” When she’s not crafting the perfect spin program for you, you’ll see her on a bike right next to you! “To be honest, seeing our members do their best every single time they get on the bike, motivates me to do the same,” she tells us. One of her favourite things about being an instructor is the ability to use music to engage and motivate people. She takes this role seriously – and it pays off! Her playlists are nothing short of killer, every time.
