Meet Your Coaches
Every coach here was once stuck on their first rep. Now they help students go from that first rep to skills they never imagined.
Kevin

He’s helped his students unlock 100+ skills, from their first pull-up to a freestanding handstand push-up.
Read Kevin’s story
Like most people, Kevin started out lifting weights at the gym, because that’s all he knew. When he switched to calisthenics, the strength he’d built didn’t carry over the way he expected, and he felt like a beginner all over again. It was humbling, and it still is whenever he takes on a new skill.
Today, with over 20 years of training experience and a Kinesiology background, he meets every student where they are. He looks at how they move and builds the plan around them.
Who he coaches
- Beginners who want to feel strong and capable with their body
- Lifters transitioning to bodyweight training
- Anyone working toward a fun new skill
Credentials
- Diploma in Kinesiology
- BCRPA Certified Personal Trainer
- BCRPA Certified Group Fitness Instructor
Kelly
Co-owner &
Personal Trainer
If the gym has ever felt intimidating, you’re in the right place.
Read Kelly’s story
Kelly wasn’t born athletic. Gyms felt intimidating: full of bulky guys, and she never knew if she was doing the movements right. So she started at home during COVID, learning strength from scratch.
Calisthenics changed everything. She went from hating movement to finishing a marathon, then built Calibar with Kevin. Today, she trains alongside her students and helps them build confidence one rep at a time. It feels like training with a friend.
Who she coaches
- Anyone who feels nervous walking into a gym alone
- Beginners who aren’t sure if they’re doing the movements right
- People who don’t see themselves as athletic (yet)
Credentials
- BCRPA Certified Personal Trainer
