"With over 25 years in the fitness industry, owning my own gym has always been a lifelong dream. I started out personal training in a garage with no heat and a doorknob that fell off regularly. I ran outdoor boot camps in parks all over Campbell River - through blistering heat, heavy rain, and everything in between.
Looking back on those early days, I’m incredibly grateful for the business I have today. The support Campbell River has shown us over the years means so much. This community has brought together an amazing group of individuals - staff and members alike - and we’ve truly become a family.
I’m especially lucky to share this experience with my niece, Adrianna, and my daughter, Nya. Adrianna has been with Club Fitness since high school and has recently stepped into a management role, and Nya works exceptionally hard as a Personal Trainer. You’ll see both of their smiling faces ready to welcome you at the front.
Our goal at Club Fitness is to create a space where judgment is left at the door - a place where people of all ages, sizes, and fitness styles can feel like they belong.
I’m thankful for all of our members and for the wonderful staff who help make Club Fitness what it is today."

Adrianna Hawkins
Manager
“Many things in my life have changed over the last 12 years, but one thing that has stayed a constant is my love for Club Fitness. Starting out as just a part-time job I never imagined all the amazing things I would be apart of because of it. I have now made countless friendships with our fantastic members and staff, been involved in all aspects of what makes Club Fitness so amazing and learned so many important lessons along the way. Club is not just a gym; it is somewhere you go to change your life, physically and mentally. I am beyond grateful to be able to say that I work at one of the best gyms ever. And I will never get tired of helping current, and future members along their fitness journeys, and always reminding you all to have the best day ever!”

“Hello my name is Chantelle I hangout with our mini members, and occasionally work on the front desk. I’ve been working here at Club Fitness since 2016. Fitness has always been a passion of mine. I joined the Club just after my son was born to get back into a healthy routine. Being a parent I know sometimes its hard to find time to get in a workout and find someone to watch your little ones. Here at Club Fitness my priority as a childminder is to keep our mini members happy and safe while you enjoy the club’s facilities knowing they’re in good hands. Seeing those little faces and knowing you are crushing your goals is what makes me happy.”

"Fitness isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion. I’ve been dedicated to weightlifting for nearly three years, and the gym has become like a second home. I love the energy, the progress, and the way it brings people together to work toward their goals. As a front desk associate at Club Fitness, I make it my mission to create a welcoming and uplifting environment for every member who walks through the doors. Whether it’s greeting people with a smile, answering questions, or sharing encouragement, I believe positivity is just as important as hard work. Helping others feel comfortable and motivated in the gym is what makes this job so rewarding for me."
