Instructor BIO

Debbie Duyvesteyn is a 34 year old wife and mother of two, along with her husband and soul mate of over 12 years she is a successful owner of two established producing farms. Her thriving farm in Maple Ridge, BC (where she was born and raised) has been in operation for over 25 years specializing in Freesia a cut flower grown in greenhouses year round as well as an newly established farm www.coastberrycompany.com in Powell River BC now producing mixed berries.

Deb’s love for fitness started at a very young age beginning with competitive dancing and then moving into competitive running. In her early 20's she took up marathon running, downhill mountain biking, snowboarding, scuba diving and weight training. By the time she was 25 and after having her first child, she was organizing running groups and training plans to help her friends and colleagues achieve their fitness goals.

Following the birth of her second child and wanting to get back in shape, Debbie joined a motivating and successful bootcamp. After a year of participating Deb realized that fitness was her true passion and one day wanted to pursue it as a career alongside her farming.

“Becoming a fitness instructor is something I have always wanted to do, I should have done it years ago. I love being with the public and I thrive on helping people feel better about themselves. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.”

After completing her certification she began her journey in the fitness industry right away by taking over an outdoor fitness program for a friend that became ill and needed help. Since then Debbie has pursued additional certifications. Now as a BCRPA certified group instructor, weight trainer, aqua and spin instructor as well as a kettlebell, TRX specialist and certified Youth Instructor, Deb has many tools to help her participants to achieve their goal and feel good about themselves.

keelyKeely Fandrick CYA-RYT200+, Studio Manager -
I started practicing yoga in 2000 and since have had the opportunity to experience different styles and combination of styles. Most of my training and interest lays with the Iyengar system. An emphasis on alignment and intention are elements that I feel are very important in a yoga practice and I bring those ideas to each class. Moving from Southern Alberta to Powell River in2007, has been such an uplifting experience. I’d like to call myself an modern day Antevasin, which is sanskrit for ‘one who lives at the border.’ I made the move from the city to a coastal town in search of the simpler life, and in return I’ve found my simpler Self.

ash1Ashleigh Hawkins - I have always had a love for fitness, starting in my teens as a regular at the gym and attending group fitness classes. Taking my love of fitness to a professional level was always a consideration, but with a focus on my nursing career, and my young family, I put those ideas aside. While on maternity leave with my second child I decided to take the challenge and took my fitness instructor course. With the help of the staff at Coast Fitness I have recently become certified as a group fitness instructor and look forward to growing in this new profession. As a mom who leads a busy life, I appreciate every moment I have to incorporate exercise into my life, so as an instructor I strive to make the most of my classes, providing opportunities for my participants to be challenged and grow in their personal journey.
