Meet the Founder
Pilar Bradshaw
Long before I was a mother of two teenage boys and a fitness professional here in Steveston, BC, I was an avid participant in sports and athletics, including soccer, field hockey, marathons and even Tough Mudder. However, it was my first experience in a bootcamp-style class that set me on the path to my career as a trainer and nutrition coach. I earned certifications including CFES for weight and personal training, qualifications in Tactical Athletes, and Training for Warriors. Additionally, I successfully completed the POPAT (Police Officer Physical Abilities Test).
​
In 2022, I founded Youth Empowerment and Strength with the goal of providing personalized fitness training and mentorship to at-risk youth in Richmond. Soon after, I decided to open Balanced Body Fitness as a space to share my passion for fitness, foster community, and provide a home for my non-profit. Together, Balanced Body Fitness serves as a center for growth and transformation for everyone who walks through our doors.
