Asma has been involved in sport since the age of 6. She started going to the gym daily at the age of 15.
While pursuing Human Kinetics at UBC, she began teaching fitness classes at Gold’s Gym. During those years, Asma realized she had a passion for fitness. Along the way she worked in Corporate Fitness, and then finally as a Kinesiologist. She soon decided she wanted to combine her passion for fitness with using a scientific approach – and launched Active Kinetix Fitness & Rehabilitation.
Adding a team of finely educated individuals who share the same passion with various skills and qualifications is truly a dream. We hope to be serving the community and vow to continue furthering our knowledge to provide the best service.
Jessica’s interest in exercise therapy arose after being involved in a significant car accident. While going through her rehab, she started working with the Kinesiologist. This was the most pivotal part in her rehab as it not only helped her strength, but helped change her emotional health. From then on, she understood the importance of adopting a fit and active lifestyle, and is passionate about helping others regain their vitality.
Incorporating Fascial Stretch Therapy into her practice she finds, allows people to achieve the greatest results. She is excited to begin her next Level of FST in 2018!
Conan spent fifteen years in the Faculties of Science and Medicine studying basic sciences and human physiology. At the end of a post-doctoral fellowship in Cardiovascular & Respiratory Sciences in 2004, he transitioned into applied fields following his passion in sport and exercise. The training and research used in his academic background drives the exercise. rehabilitation, and sport programs he writes every day

Mark graduated from UBC kinesiology in 2009. Afterwards, he went to UBC graduate school to perform research in human movement control.
In University, Mark suffered a severe injury while weight-lifting. After seeing multiple physiotherapists and not getting the results that he desired, he dedicated hours and hours of research and self-rehabilitation to overcome the injury. Over a decade later and hours of rehabilitative knowledge, Mark not only manages his injury weekly, but is also able to understand the physical and mental process of having an injury and going through the rehabilitation process.
David’s passion lies in Fascial Stretch Therapy or FST. FST deals in relaxing the human Nervous System by using tractioning and stretching to alleviate and remove joint and muscle pain.
In David’s experience in Personal Training, he finds many people have movement restrictions, sometimes due to past injuries, and natural wear and tear of the body. In order for one’s health and fitness to be at an optimal level, David believes proper mechanics and pain-free movement to be a cornerstone of being fit, mobile, and injury-free.
David is highly skilled and has 100’s of hours in practicing Fascial Stretch Therapy. He is furthering his skills in May when he is enrolled to complete the Level 3 certification through the Stretch to Win institute.
Melinda has been a practising and loyal Kinesiologist for 5 years.
