Wolfgang Personal Trainer

Wolfgang Moiroux

To live your greatest life in a body that you absolutely love; that’s who Wolfgang stives to be. It all started in 2013 when he stumbled upon bodybuilding while watching movies and documentaries featuring renowned champions like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Phil Heath, Kai Greene, and Ben Pakulski. The discipline required to attain a world-class physique and the mentality of a champion fascinated him. This sparked a new passion and goal within Wolfgang. Over the course of the next 10+ years and a move to Canada, he dedicated himself to expanding his knowledge of muscle building and pushing the body to achieve greatness. Then, driven by his desire to push himself further, he decided to become a personal trainer with the YMCA. His area of expertise lies in hypertrophy training as a coach, and he loves to assist individuals in reaching their fitness goals. He firmly believes that our bodies naturally strive to be lean, healthy, and muscular, regardless of our backgrounds.

 

Wolfgang is a certified health coach specialized in functional therapeutic diets and is currently working on functional breathing through BreathHoldWork practice and hormone optimization through lifestyle and training studies.

Tricia Boehme

Tricia’s fitness journey began when she joined the YMCA in Brighton, 20 years ago. This developed into training as a distance runner and competitive dragon boat paddler. Both sports taught her the benefits of training safely and efficiently. Tricia grew her passion, success and knowledge because of great coaches in her life and has now turned her interests into coaching others. Leading group fitness classes for the past 6 years has naturally led to working one on one helping people achieve their personal goals. Tricia is more geared towards senior clientele or people new to weight training programs.
