Olivier Poirier-Leroy, NASM-CPT — Owner and Editor

I was born 30ish years ago in a beautiful archipelago of islands called Les-Iles-de-Les-Madeleines, Quebec. Since then I have been lucky enough to live all over Canada and the U.S., making stops in Winnipeg, Hamilton, Princeton, NJ, Santa Barbara, CA, Vancouver, and finally… beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

When I am not sitting at the keyboard writing about working out (for this site, as well as USA Swimming, SwimSwam.com, Muscle and Strength, Cut & Jacked, Greatist, STACK, and more) you’ll find me training.

I love strength training, but I am equally fascinated with the mental aspect of working out and training and am always looking for ways to up the mental game of my clients (and myself!).

Some of my articles around the web include:

There is nowhere I would rather be than sprinting back in forth in a moderately chilly pool, lifting weights with headphones in, or doing hill sprints down the road from my house.

For me, training is my happy place.

It’s my Moment of Zen, it’s my therapy, and it’s where I go to push and challenge myself.

With this website and book, I hope to help you make it yours as well!

Raymond Hodgkinson, CrossFit athlete and coach – Contributor

My journey in sport started at a young age. I played indoor lacrosse at an elite level for many years, and professionally as an adult. It wasn’t until my teens that I realised to keep up with my competition I needed to train off the floor.

Having never been one to exercise it was a tough transition. I soon realised I had an immense passion for training, and soon my pursuit of fitness outgrew my love for sport.

After my professional lacrosse career ended, I had a competitive fire that was still burning. I then found competitive CrossFit and continue to compete today. I share my passion for fitness by coaching and writing programs for others trying to achieve levels of functionality and competitive prowess. Along the way, I have experimented with many different ideas and training concepts.

Genevieve Jarun, NASM-CPT — Contributor

Genevieve’s journey in sport and fitness started at 5 years of age when she jumped into the lap pool. From there, she swam at a National level throughout her youth. Upon retiring from elite-level competition, she fell out of love with fitness and working out.

It wasn’t until after having a couple of daughters that she discovered her love for getting a good sweat on. She now teaches group classes and one-on-one coaching with clients in the greater Atlanta area.

When she isn’t driving the kids to school or practice, and teaching fitness classes, you’ll find Genevieve hiking, lifting small and heavy, paddle boarding, and doing one of her favorite HIIT workouts.

You can follow Genevieve on Instagram, where she posts workouts, exercise tips, and general awesomeness:
