Our Coaches

Cecile de Bretan

Founder/Co-Owner

I am a passionate believer in the power of exercise on the mind and the body. And from this experience, I learned I could inspire and lead people to be their best fitness selves. At Live Life Fit we welcome all people, regardless of age, fitness level or physical ability. We have celebrated with many of our clients as they have hit and exceeded their own personal goals. As our membership has grown, so too has the gym community we have fostered. Camaraderie, competitiveness and the desire to give their best in each class is what defines Live Life Fit members and is reflected in our values.

Bruce Young

Co-Owner/Coach

My passion in life is helping people set and meet their goals. As a business and life coach, I work with individuals to achieve goals that stretch them beyond their limits through my individually designed one on one coaching. Whether you need help with fitness, business or personal goals, I'll take you through my goal-achieving program which combines strength training with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to get you to your next level. Pursuing my own goals and dreams, I have competed at the CrossFit Games in 2015, 2019 and placed third in 2021.

I am now using what I learnt to help my clients at Live Life Fit reach their NEXT LEVEL.

Chris Harrington

Coach

I hold a Level 2 CrossFit Certification and when you are in my classes we will focus deeply on your form. I believe this is the secret to training hard and avoiding injury. In addition to class-based training, I also offer one to one training to clients who want to focus further on achieving their personal goals.

Melissa Bailey

Coach

I joined the Live Life Fit team in October 2019. My passion lies in all things core and glute strength related. After living for years with back pain caused by severe scoliosis, I took control of my health. I learned everything I could about strengthening the core muscle groups and activating the gluteal muscles to manage and reduce my lower back pain. I found relief through the practice of BARRE as well as Pilates inspired movements.
My speciality is classes focusing on these core muscle groups where I will also provide modifications tailored to each member’s specific issue/injury.

My workouts are designed to be both fun and challenging because I believe fitness should be something you enjoy!

As a Firefighter, helping others is not just my job- it’s my passion, both on and off the clock. So if you’re eager to get moving, I’m here to help you reach your goals.

I’ve competed in HYROX and Tough Mudder, always striving to push my limits and set new goals for myself. With certifications in canfitpro Personal Training Speciality, Emergency Medical Responder, CPR/AED and more. Let’s work together to challenge yourself and have fun along the way!
