ABOUT US

Who We Are

Rainforest Family Athletics is a small (for now) start-up. We are a family & community oriented fitness club
​located in Sooke, BC, Canada. ​
We are committed to sharing our passion for athletics by helping families develop and re-learn healthy movement skills in a fun, judgement-free environment. 
Though we are starting small, with toddler & pre-school aged classes, we have big goals and plan to offer classes for all ages (babies - senior) covering a wide range of specialties! 

Fitness For All

​One of our core values is inclusivity and adaptability. We want our programming to have something for everyone and be flexible to fit the needs of our participants, families, and community.
We believe in movement for life and making that movement FUN! 
Feedback is encouraged & appreciated!
We always want to know:
How can we improve?
What programs you would like to see?
Anything else you might have to say!

Meet Our Team

As parents and members of the Sooke community (Jeff has lived and worked in this community since 2007, Sabrina relocated here from Edmonton in early 2016) we are inspired to bring forward a new kind of fitness programming.
