My Mission
My goal is to help clients build stronger bodies and minds while fostering a positive, inclusive environment.
About Me
Velvet started as a client at True Conditioning and quickly fell in love with the TRX group classes and weightlifting programs. Her passion for fitness drives her to empower people through diverse approaches and to create a safe, supportive space for all clients at True Conditioning. Velvet’s goal is to help clients build stronger bodies and minds while fostering a positive, inclusive environment.
Born and raised in China, Velvet moved to Canada at the age of 19 and is fluent in both Mandarin and English. In the long term, she aims to advocate for women of all ages who have experienced trauma and mental health issues through her fitness career. She is committed to making a positive impact in this field and continuously seeks to grow professionally by actively educating herself outside the gym. Velvet holds a certificate in Foundational Trauma-Informed Weightlifting, which helps her integrate a compassionate and informed approach into her training methods.
In her fitness journey, Velvet enjoys CrossFit and long-distance running and has a background in taekwondo from her youth as a competitive athlete. Outside of the gym, you can find her walking her corgi in Richmond, exploring new coffee shops around the city, or running on the road with her husband, Steve.
