ABOUT US
Functional fitness enhances your quality of life.
At Collective Fitness Kitsilano, we focus on training for longevity. We believe fitness should be sustainable, enjoyable, and programmed to deliver great results without causing burnout. Whether you’re new to exercise or have plenty of experience under your belt, we’ve got you covered.
Our Values
At Collective Fitness, we’re more than a gym – we’re a community focused on lifelong fitness, inclusivity, and quality movement. Whether you’re just starting or advancing your training, we’re here to support you while keeping fitness fun and sustainable.
LONGEVITY
Fitness should set you up for success outside the gym; we believe in movement for life.
COMMUNITY
We bring together diverse individuals who support each other inside and outside the gym. Our members come in pursuit of fitness, but stay for the relationships they forge.
QUALITY
While intensity does have its place, we believe it should not be done at the expense of good mechanics. When we work hard, we must move smart.
INCLUSIVITY
We value differences and respect everyone who walks through our doors.
Fun
At the heart of it all, if it isn’t fun, then why are we doing it?

Kellen loves to coach all forms of the squat, and if you’re ready to dig deep, he’s always up for guiding a Bulgarian split squat. Outside the gym, you’ll find Kellen at concerts, running around the dog park, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or enjoying yet another cup of coffee.

She loves to see people progress and finally accomplish a goal they’ve been working toward and finds that to be the most rewarding thing about coaching. Her favourite movements to coach are the snatch and the clean: since they’re so technical, there’s always something to refine, and she loves being part of when it all starts to click. Outside the gym, Courtney works as a makeup artist in film and television. Whether she’s beautifying a face or creating fake blood and bruises, she thrives on the creative contrast her two worlds provide.

Outside the gym, Luigi is usually chasing the perfect Italian-style focaccia and admits he’s unapologetically picky about the ingredients.
