🎖Coach of the year🎖
Every December the coaches collectively vote for who they think is Coach of the Year, and this year, the vote was unanimous.
Many things can be said about Jeff Turcotte: he is a motivator, a leader, and a role model for health and fitness. He is the “energizer bunny” that can lift anyone’s spirits, and push them through a challenging workout.
Considering he travels from Coquitlam every morning to work at 6am with as much energy as he does is very admirable. You may know he leads the Saturday Circuit classes, and a few months ago was promoted to Events Manager, managing our social media accounts and planning monthly events for the IF community.
Jeff challenges himself to be better at work, in life, and in his physical pursuits. Over the summer he completed his Spartan Race Trifecta mission, stepping out of his comfort zone to run some heavy mileage and tackle some formidable obstacles.
He is also learning how to road cycle and swim. Along with the physical, his mental toughness was put to the test as he dealt with a number of injuries. Yet, Jeff overcame them, and learned a thing or two about load management and recover in the process.
We have seen Jeff become the man of many talents; educating himself about rehab techniques, plyometric exercises, boxing, and more. He is capable of training anyone that walks through our doors. By the way he enthusiastically engages with his clients, talks about life, and shares personal experiences, you know Jeff genuinely cares about you, and will support you any way he can.
As he can attest, this job requires you to be more than a fitness instructor, and Jeff is succeeding in every aspect of it. Félicitations Jeff!
