About
Doug Leavers, B.E.S.
Registered Fitness Leader (BCRPA)
Vancouver BC, Canada
“A well-known resident of Vancouver’s downtown West End who has made physical fitness, outdoor recreation and sports adventure a passionate part of life for over 30 years…
“… an inspirational instructor and motivational expert who has a passion to share his fitness, nutrition and exercise knowledge with others…
“… a Qualified Exercise Professional in the truest sense…”
“… men & women who understand that ‘aging’ doesn’t have to mean getting ‘old’ will certainly understand and appreciate Doug’s approach to life-long fitness.”
I’ve been a competitive ski racer, swimmer and water-polo player… part-owner of a small-town gym… a back-country Parks Ranger and ski guide… a community organizer and political advisor… a recreation consultant and a city Parks & Recreation Manager. The common denominator? My passion for fitness, health and for helping others achieve their goals.
