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.

MADDIE LEEK

TRAINER

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!

ALKIN DELANCY

TRAINER

Hey! I’m Alkin Delancy - but you can call me A.J.! Born and raised under the Bahamian sun, I bring island energy and heart to everything I do - from fitness training to leveling up in video games. As a personal trainer, I mix my love for sports, anime, music, and cooking to create fun, personalized workouts that feel less like a chore and more like a lifestyle. I don’t just train for aesthetics - I train for deep health, inside and out. My approach is rooted in proper form, solid technique, and a whole-person mindset that supports long-term strength, mobility, and confidence. Guided by God, grounded by my family and friends, I believe my purpose is to help others become the best version of themselves - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Let’s build better health together, with good vibes and even better results. If you or somebody you know wants to live a healthier lifestyle, send me a message for your free consultation @ajdelancy.

JESSIE STEINHOFF

TRAINER

Hi there, here is a bit about me… With two diplomas in health sciences and a degree in Human Kinetics, I’ve always been passionate about movement, performance, and helping others stay active. Growing up ski racing across British Columbia sparked my love for sports early on, and that passion carried me to Kelowna, where I completed my post-secondary education while playing soccer for UBCO.

When I’m not coaching or training in the gym, you’ll likely find me working as a sales representative in the orthopaedic bracing industry, supporting injury recovery and performance. Outside of work, life stays busy with my two kids—cheering them on at their sporting events, camping through Okanagan summers, and hitting the slopes all winter long.

I believe in building strong, capable bodies that support an active, balanced lifestyle—both inside and outside the gym.

CARLEE MILLS

TRAINER

Hi, my name is Carlee and I am a group fitness coach. By day, I’m a high school teacher, but coaching has become an extension of who I am. Health and fitness have grown into such an important pillar in my life, shaping not just how I move, but how I show up every day.

I’ve been able to bridge my passion for health and fitness with my career in education through my Master’s of Education work, focusing on nutrition education and nutrition literacy in secondary schools.

Since stepping into the group fitness world in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with the energy, connection, and community that comes from moving together. For me, the gym isn’t just a place to work out, it’s a place to belong. It’s where we push past limits, build confidence, and support each other in becoming stronger versions of ourselves.

CHASE STEVENSON

FOUNDER, HYROX TRAINING CLUB

My name is Chase Stevenson, and I'm the founder of Kelowna's Hyrox Training Club and one of the top Hyrox athletes in the world.

I grew up here in Kelowna playing high-level hockey, winning BCHL MVP before heading to the University of New Hampshire to play Division 1 where I acted as team captain. Post-concussion syndrome ended my hockey career, so I pivoted to investment banking at Deutsche Bank in NYC.

I signed up for my first Hyrox after feeling like I had lost my athletic identity. Since then, I've raced in the Hyrox Elite 15 and World Championships, and now travel the world competing, training, and speaking on human performance. My mission at REC is to build an inclusive team environment where every level, from your first Hyrox to your fifteenth, has a place to push and grow together.
