About Us
A Force-Couple
In biomechanics term, a force-couple is two muscle groups that work together to move a system, without translation. Interpreting this, Jason and I are two people who aim to move the world to bring heaven to earth. We also work with partners, couples, and friends to work to change their environment. When we work with one person, we find that we often change not only the individual's life, but everyone else they are connected with.
Mental
Over 12 years Experience together in Personal Training. Both are National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified. Andrea has previously worked at Steve Nash Fitness World and Sports Club. Jason has worked at Core Fitness in Richmond for many years. Andrea completed her Bachelor of Science in Life Science Degree at UBC in 2010 and has 3 years of Masters Level Courses in Counselling Psychology. Jason has his Bachelors in Human Kinetics from Trinity Western University.
Physical
Both Jason and Andrea Au train at Tristar Martial Arts. Jason love being at the gym everyday and mentoring others in building their physique and getting healthy. Jason has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Andrea has her brown belt in Police Judo and also trains 7 times a week. Using our joint experiences, we want to share to others what we have learned.
Spiritual
God is Awesome! Without him, we would probably be very lost and uncertain of ourselves. Christ is such a big part of our lives and identity that everything we do is through him, by him and for him. We cannot exist without our spirit. Faith through prayer and meditation. Being centered helps us feel focused.
Andrea Au
I love fighting, teaching kids First Aid, and volunteering in the community. I used to be a counsellor, but gained too many lbs from sitting down for 7hrs straight, so now I incorporate counselling into my personal training practices. I'm losing much more weight. In my free time, I like to hike, board, eat, garden (when it's not winter), and paint.
Jason Au
I have been within the fitness world for more than 10 years, beginning from my own weight loss journey to dealing with body image issues, and finally finding balance between both and finding the meaning of being truly well. Force Couple Kingdom wants to help you achieve your wellness goals and avoid common pitfalls all while feeling great. I enjoy Disney movies, dancing, jiu-jitsu, drawing, and constantly learning.
Our Vision
Integrity
We are here for you and not ourselves, we try to stand by what we believe in for both you and for ourselves. Force Couple Kingdom strives to maintain transparency and honesty with our clients. We are not here for your money. In fact, we would gladly volunteer our time to train everyone if we could. We frequently offer sliding value scales and try to have your goals met without having to worry about your finances while doing so. We love to see our clients thrive; therefore, our funding goes directly back into helping our clients meet their goals through better equipment and acquired knowledge.
Impact
We seek to make a difference in the world. Force Couple Kingdom loves seeing positive changes in both the lives of our clients and those connected to them. Often when we start working with a client, we see positive changes not only in themselves but those close to them- husbands, wives, kids, changing their lifestyles to being healthier. It takes only one person to create an impact and it is incredible to see. By introducing Force Couple Kingdom into your life, YOU can become the positive catalyst within your circle. Our intention is to make each session impactful, so that it energizes the rest of your day. We want to make that hour the best part of your day.
Individuality
Your exercise program is not a cookie-cutter plan. One size does NOT fit all. Each program is designed with you in mind- your needs, your flexibility, your schedule. We do not start until we absolutely know your goals, and if life changes, the program changes with your lifestyle. Each person has different body types, nutrition needs, life history, and goals- we work with you to create a plan that fits your needs. Communicate with us if something does not resonate with you. In couples/partners sessions, we adjust the fitness difficulty according to where you are. Each program will empower each person differently helping you find tasks specific to your everyday life easier to accomplish.
