It’s now been 5+ years coaching people in person/ online, helping them achieve their dream body, and I’m only getting started!

KEDDI-ANNE SHERBINO

TRAINER

I’m Keddi-Anne West - fitness, outdoor, and life enthusiast! My journey in fitness began over 15 years ago with a passion for running, which led me to become a former first female record holder in the Vancouver and Okanagan Marathon (2010/2011), and first place female winner in over 23 other Half Marathons. Along the way, I’ve also competed in several road biking races and triathlons, and over the past 8 years, I’ve found a love for CrossFit, participating in multiple competitions. I’m CrossFit Level 1 and Precision Nutrition PN1 certified. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching people of all ages - from kids in elementary school to older adults - helping both competitive and recreational athletes find joy and confidence in movement. As a coach, my mission is to empower you to believe that YOU CAN - to understand that it’s not about being the best, but about bringing your best that day, however that looks. I want you to experience how great it feels, and how much fun it can be, to make active living a natural part of your daily life.

COREY VARGA

TRAINER

Hi! I am Coach Corey & I am pumped to join the Crew! I am ISSA certified with a background in CrossFit and have competed in five events - including a hauntingly close 4th place finish in Penticton - I’ve learned the grind, the growth, and when it’s time to pivot. Now I’m here to help you hit your goals, physically and mentally. My style is all about pushing past your comfort zone while keeping it fun - because I never take myself too seriously. The gym is where we show up, put in work, and leave feeling stronger inside and out. Outside the gym, I’m all about good vibes and great company. I’m usually out golfing, playing volleyball, or challenging anyone to a game of spikeball. Family time is huge for me, and so is hanging out with my 16-year-old Jack Russell-Bichon mix (if you’re a dog person, we’re instantly friends). I’m currently taking on new clients - so if you're ready to level up your fitness, mindset, or just need someone to cheer you on with a few laughs along the way, I’ve got you.

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.
