Maddie Leek - Lead Trainer
Meet Maddie,
Hello! I’m Coach Maddie🤗 I have lived in the beautiful Okanagan all my life. Fitness and the outdoors have always been a huge part of my daily routine. My background in fitness started at age 7 in Tae Kwon Do where I got my Black Belt at age 12. I transitioned to running and weight lifting throughout high-school to challenge myself further and see the best results. After having amazing coaches help me along my journey I realized I wanted to help others too and become a certified Personal Trainer + Nutrition Coach. It’s now been 5+ years coaching people in person/ online, helping them achieve their dream body, and I’m only getting started! If you’re looking to crush your health and fitness goals or struggling with your nutrition.. let’s work together and get you the guidance and accountability to see results!

Hi! I’m Annelies, a very proud REC coach and chiropractor. These roles enable me to empower and educate people to feel strong, healthy, and confident with their body’s abilities. I'm enthusiastic (borderline geeky) about minimizing injury risks through solid exercise technique, tailored modifications, and effective recovery and mobility strategies. I’m your girl if you ever need a gym, running, cappuccino, farmer market and / or Okanagan adventure buddy :)
Cara Manning - Trainer
Meet Cara,
Hi! My names Cara and I’m a group fitness coach and personal trainer based out of Rec Fitness! My background in fitness comes from a lifetime of martial arts training and I hold a 4th degree black belt in taekwondo. In recent years, I’ve also found a love for strength training and found how beneficial it is for EVERYONE to learn how to properly lift weights. I’ve worked with all levels from day one in the gym, all the way to pro athletes and active military members. My other loves are snowboarding, travelling, anything adrenaline inducting and my dog Quinn. Can’t wait to see your faces in class.
