AMBASSADOR SPOTLIGHT
Yoshia Burton
Mountain Biker • Kinesiologist • FVMBA President
As one of the owners of Innovative Fitness in Abbotsford and Walnut Grove, Yoshia has built a career around helping people move, perform, and live healthier lives. Working as a kinesiologist, registered member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association, and current President of the FVMBA, he brings a unique perspective to cycling. One that blends physical performance, mental resilience, community leadership, and a lifelong passion for being outdoors on two wheels.
Why He Rides:
For Yoshia, cycling delivers the perfect balance of fitness, adventure, and stress relief. Whether he’s chasing performance goals, enjoying the mental reset that comes from time on the trails, or simply embracing the excitement of a great ride, cycling remains one of the most rewarding parts of his active lifestyle.
Most Memorable Ride:
While it’s difficult to choose just one standout ride, what Yoshia values most are the moments spent deep in the forest with nothing but the trail ahead. Those rides provide a sense of focus, freedom, and connection to nature that continue to draw him back to the bike year after year.
Favourite Route:
A favourite local ride starts from home and heads to Ledgeview, linking together classics like Noodles before finishing on Long Way Home. It’s a route that offers everything Yoshia enjoys about mountain biking: challenge, flow, and some of the best trails the Fraser Valley has to offer.
When he’s not working with athletes, Yoshia can often be found riding his S-Works Levo 4. The added assistance allows him to stay active between harder training days, recover more effectively, and spend even more time enjoying the trails and community he loves. Known for his appreciation of premium equipment and performance focused technology, he’s always eager to share the latest innovations with fellow riders throughout the Fraser Valley.
