Wesley Williamson
Elevate Owner
Hi there, I’m Wesley Williamson, Owner and Co-Founder at Elevate Training, Health and Wellness.
Born and raised in South Africa I have always had a true passion and desire for the Health and fitness Industry. After graduating in England in 1998, I worked hard on dedicating my time to help people live a healthy lifestyle. Once I became a Certified Personal Trainer in 1999, I knew that fitness was going to be my life.
In 2001 I joined Nuffield Health, one of the leading not-for-profit UK healthcare organisations, who run network of hospitals, medical clinics, fitness and well being clubs and diagnostic units across the UK. Working as a master trainer and mentor, my focus was to teach and make a difference in people’s lives. By 2009 I was running my own flagship location in London as the General Manager, working with over 2000 clients and mentoring over 200 employees.
In 2011 I decided to expand my knowledge and experience and move to Vancouver. With the launch of Elevate in 2015, I had finally found a way to live my mission of unleashing people’s potential every single day, and more importantly to be able to work with those who need me most.
What Elevate’s me
I truly love being around people. Over the last 18 years, I have really enjoyed helping my clients and close friends achieve their personal fitness goals. I love working with beginners to professional athletes and I can honestly say there is nothing more rewarding then helping my clients get back into shape, lose that extra weight or just simply feel better about themselves again. I have an extensive range of experience and knowledge when it comes to most injuries such as knees, shoulders and hips. Why do i know so much about injuries? Because like most of my clients, I have had to deal with those types of injuries in the past myself.
My Philosophy
Some would say it’s simple but I stand by it. “Believe it and you will achieve it”
