Get To Know Your Coaches

Recreational activity is one of the most important things in my life. Around Kelowna you can catch me taking part in all sorts of activities such as rock climbing, disc golf, and beach volleyball. The opportunity to have a place where you can get some exercise, challenge yourself and have fun social interaction, is beneficial in so many ways. I am so happy I can share my love for these things with my students at Ambition Parkour and Ninja Fitness Academy. Coaching has always been something that has drawn me. Working with students to develop a new skill, or beat a tough challenge is something I look forward to everyday, it keeps me motivated to provide the best class I can for my students. Parkour and Ninja are amazing sports for students as it promotes great physical literacy, confidence, overall strength and is just straight up FUN. If you don’t end up in one of my classes, don’t worry! We have an amazing team of coaches for both Parkour and Ninja that are ready to take you through a great class. Can’t wait to see you going for it in our gym! Cheers!

I love working at APNFA because I love getting stronger and helping others get strong. Physical fitness has impacted me by increasing my quality of life through improved strength and flexibility. A fun fact about me is that I can fix anything that goes wrong with my car. My favourite skill is a wall back flip.

I love working at APNFA because I get to see the community grow and the sport become more popular. Physical fitness has impacted me by teaching me it’s not just about being strong but also working on flexibility and mobility. Keeping fit helps with injury prevention and allows me to explore as many hobbies as I want. My guilty pleasure is eating pickles in the wee hours of the morning and my favourite skill is a diving front flip!

Coach Riley

I’ve lived in the Okanagan my whole life, and I’ve tried a handful of sports. When I was really young, I tried soccer, Kung Fu, and basketball, but I didn’t really love any of them until I tried Parkour at the age of 9. I was apprehensive about it at first, but I made friends like coach Dylan that helped and pushed me to get better at parkour. I was able to  become good enough to make the Ambition Parkour Team about  two years before COVID, after that I started coaching. I have really liked parkour because of the confidence that it gave me in my physical abilities, and the strength it gave me just by acquiring skills. Outside of parkour I enjoy playing video games, spending time with family and friends, studying and talking about fashion and cars (separately of course), and praising God. After I finish high school, I plan on going to Okanagan College to become a Mechanical Engineer Technologist.

I love working at APNFA because I get to share my passion and help the next generation grow. Seeing their confidence build as they learn new skills is so rewarding. The connections I’ve made with students and coaches have helped me grow, too. Physical activity has shaped who I am—through gymnastics, karate, parkour, and ninja, I’ve gained strength, coordination, and confidence. My favourite skill is a làche.
