Tricia Kawahara

Tricia is a mother of three young children, a business owner, life long student, and an avid fitness enthusiast.  She graduated with her degree in Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia while working at a personal trainer.  With over 10 years in the industry she has experience training pretty much any population: professional athletes, older population, weight loss clients, the weekend warriors, and young athletes.  She is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Kinesiologist, and Spin Instructor who draws on her education and sporting background to be an effective coach and gain the success she has had with her clients.

Tricia founded Inspiration Training after her move to Calgary in 2007.   Tricia now spends most of her time working with the general population looking to stay fit and healthy for life and those weekend sports.  Efficient movement skills, balance, coordination, power, flexibility, and aerobic conditioning are aspects of training she believes all programs should include in order to succeed in sport and day to day activities.

Tricia is also the founder and CEO of Blitz Events Inc., an athletic event company which hosts two annual events, the Blitz Duathlon and Snowshoe  Fun Run& Walk, and times over 50 races a year. The races were created to provide her clients with non-intimidating events that he or she can train for, providing the challenge and motivation to try something new. She has made athletes out of her clients and takes huge pride in seeing them finish their first race or 50 race.
