Personal Training and Cross-Training

“Mens sana in corpore sano – A healthy mind in a healthy body”

You only have one body – Where will you live if you don’t take care of this one?

Take the above motto from Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, that has been tried, tested and true for thousands of years and combine it with the indisputable truth of only having one body to live in during this lifetime, and you get the BC Sports Programs vision and mission of striving for balance and harmony between mind, body and soul in all of our personal training and cross-training programs.

We also firmly believe in the “physical literacy” program of Canada’s premier professional organization for physical and health educators, Physical & Health Education Canada (PHE) and have incorporated that into all of our programs to make them as functional and holistic as possible.

Personal training

If you want to get in shape safely and quickly while maximizing your results and meeting your goals, then the BC Sports Programs personal training program is for you!

At BC Sports Programs, we provide a comprehensive approach to designing safe, effective, and goal-specific exercise programs that respect our client’s age, fitness level and health status. Using the YMCA’s latest tests, assessments and program design along with the most current nutrition information available, we customize all of our exercise programs to work with a wide variety of clients while accommodating each client’s individual needs and help them reach and maintain their health and fitness goals.

We also use the latest motivational interviewing techniques to help our clients break free of fad diets, quick-fix fitness solutions, and overcome barriers to change so they can make and maintain positive and lasting changes in their nutrition and fitness.

A YMCA Canada Certified Personal Trainer, experienced and decorated athlete and coach of many champions in multiple sports disciplines with 40+ years of experience, Bill can prescribe an exercise program that will be sure to meet your personal fitness, aerobic, strength, flexibility, mobility and functional training needs.

We have our own home based fitness gym, but unlike most fitness facilities, we are not restricted to a specific location and offer our services in the comfort of our client’s home, fitness facility, hotel room, office, yard and almost any location that our clients choose.

Bill Chong’s Ultimate Iron Bodies Gymnastics Functional Training

“Georges St Pierre – by far one of the best conditioned athletes in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has once said:

Nobody can reproduce the movement of gymnastic guys, but gymnastic guys can reproduce the movement of everyone. They’re the most athletic athlete(s) in the world. And I’m doing gymnastics also to keep my body healthy (and) to change my routine, and I love gymnastics, as well.”  From the article “Is Gymnastics Training Good for MMA Athletes? – Article by Sabina Skala

Gymnastics was first developed and used to prepare men for warfare in ancient Greece, in Sparta and Athens, and has evolved from its earlier roots to become the toughest sport in the world to be good at.  Today’s gymnasts are the strongest pound for pound athletes with the best developed bodies on the planet whose athleticism combining strength, speed, agility, endurance and hand-eye coordination allows them to play multiple sports and succeed in every single one of them.

Our comprehensive gymnastics and functional bodyweight strength and conditioning programs work every muscle in your entire body and can be as simple and easy or as complex and difficult as you want to make them.  Our programs use functional movements that are found in everyday life and balance strength with flexibility and mobility and are designed so they can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime using their own body or in combination with basic portable bodyweight training equipment.  However, there is no need for using any equipment other than your own body which is always there for you to use!

Whether you are just wanting to get a better body, leaner, stronger, develop balance and stability or are looking for a training program that is safe and that you can use at home, on the road or on the go, then our programs are for you!
