Kalev's Bio
Hello,
My name is Kalev (www.kalevtraining.com), and I hope I can take a minute of your time to tell you why I love my job. Every day I go to the gym, hang out with my amazing staff, and I have the honor of helping people to feel better about their bodies. Have you guessed my job? I am a personal trainer and the founder of Kalev Personal Training, a company offering a unique approach to personal training.
A lot of people are nervous to start personal training because they think it will be challenging. I can relate to that - my own journey to personal training had its challenges. I had a good start as a little kid: my father put me in skates from the time I could walk! I stayed active as a self-conscious teenager, pumping iron as I worried that my teenage body wasn’t big enough. I took my body and health for granted, assuming that I would always be active.
Everything changed when my life hit a rough patch: a serious motorcycle accident left me in a wheelchair for over 3 months. Those were the longest months of my life. But, there was a bright side: I suddenly wanted to understand how the body worked on a deeper level. As my health improved, I pursued an education in physiotherapy, which led to my career in personal training.
Personal training opened up the world for me. I travelled the globe as a personal trainer, working with clients in incredible places: from the six star “Palazzo Versace Resort” in Australia to the “Paradise Village Resort” in Mexico. After a lot of globetrotting, I was ready to settle down and start my own business. I came to Vancouver and founded Kalev Personal Training.
I have been a personal trainer for over 9 years, and I still love my work. My staff and I have created a unique approach to training. We call it the “3 Dimensional” approach. In 3D training, we give you a team of specialists: a cardio specialist, a weight training specialist, and a nutritionist, all for about the same cost as one personal trainer. Plus, you receive access to a network of health & wellness professionals through our partnership program.
