~ Rey Carroll ~

Hi, my name is Rey Carroll and I'm passionate about helping and assisting people to live longer, stronger, and move better while looking younger, and feeling their best.

After receiving my Fitness & Lifestyle Management Diploma, I spent the next 18+ years learning, accessing, and incorporating knowledge and practices in the realms of strength & conditioning, cardiovascular health, aerobic exercise, functional movements, stretching & mobility, yoga, meditation, nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle & habit coaching. I loved every minute of it!

To this day, I am still learning and acquiring experiences in the health, wellness, and fitness industries. I'm continually improving in all areas of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for myself and be able to share it with others who want to live in their authentic power and achieve their fitness and wellness goals.

~ Polek Rybczynski ~

Polek seeks and experiences life to full potential and longevity. His desire from a young age for artistic, athletic, and spiritual development provided foundations for the laying of a colourful and winding path. His intuitive voice led him to hold regular communion with the ocean's waves, land's old-growth forests and many mountain peaks.

Vipassana meditation, the practices of yoga, spiritual/religious texts, and permaculture are some of the topics expanded upon during these communions. Environmental activism in his early twenties inspired Polek to ask himself more confronting questions. How one acts internally, and what impact one has upon this planet through these internal acts were but a few.

Deeper study of ancient Vedic and other spiritual texts alongside permaculture and contemporary philosophy, has given Polek great contemplation upon his choices of interaction and co-creation with this planet. Currently residing in the Pemberton Valley, British Columbia and Huatulco, Oaxaca, Polek grows food, roasts specialty coffee, rockclimbs, takes photographs, skis, surfs, writes music, and chooses life alongside his beloved two adventure stoked homeschooled sons.
