Izzy Turk

Coach

Hey there! My name is Incredible Izzy, and I love to live, train, eat and live some more. I am very passionate about food, whether it is the culinary arts or the science behind nutrition. My earliest memories in life are anchored in the sights and smells of the kitchen. My mom is an excellent cook, and my dad, in my eyes at least, is a pioneer in the food and beverage industry. So I grew up in an environment where learning and appreciating a wide array of foods was the norm.

From those experiences, I gained a deep abiding passion for “magically” transforming random pantry items into delicious wholesome meals! I graduated from Concordia University with a major in Finance and a minor in Exercise Science and Nutrition. And went on to work in the hospitality industry for most of my adult life, combining my knowledge in finance and my family culture of hospitality. It was a fantastic journey to say the least, in the process I met amazing people that helped refine me and my perspectives on life. During that time, I got married, had three amazing children and gained 70lbs. But one morning I was tired of feeling tired, so I put my gym shoes on, went to the gym, then went to the grocery store and turned my life around once and for all. I knew this was a defining moment because of my purpose. My mindset had shifted. I not only wanted, but I needed and DESERVED to be healthier, for myself, for my wife and of course for my kids. My “why” was now unshakeable. That was almost 7 years ago. Third best decision I ever made. The first best decision was getting married to the love of my life Rana. The second best decision was getting my semi professional high fiver certificate from the wild streets of LA! For years I attended seminars, workshops and conferences on nutrition, to further my knowledge and better understand how different foods affect us and why. In the process I was exposed to a ton of nonsense and with time learned how to research better and spot disinformation… and there is a lot of it!!! Like way too much.

She even competed in a bikini fitness competition in 2016, placing 3rd in her category. However, in 2017, Sarah joined a CrossFit gym in Coquitlam and found that it hit every area she was looking for.

Jacquie Johnston coach at Bodyshop Fitness and Nutrition

Jacquie Johnston

Nutrition Coach

I’ve been passionate about food and nutrition for two decades! My goal is to use that passion to help as many people gain a healthy relationship with food as I can.

Being a teen in the early 2000’s, combined with a lack of education around properly nourishing our bodies led to years of disordered eating habits. It took me years of learning, to heal my body (and my mind) and bring me to this point in life where I am the fittest, healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been! If I can help guide just one person away from that life, it’s a win.

Helping people achieve their own personalized nutrition goals is what I do best! I emphasize ‘personal goals’ because no two people are the same and have the same goals, nor should they. We work together on customized nutrition habits that fit the lifestyle of each individual. Nourishing our bodies is a glorious thing, and it should be!

My education began at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2015 and I’ve been learning ever since. I have since added education in nutrition for the menstrual cycle as well as menopause and work closely with my female clients on cycle tracking and strategies that help them feel energized and thrive through the month.

I’m a mom to three beautiful children and know how important it is to include our kids in our lifestyle habits. I have spent hours in the kitchen creating healthy ‘kid-friendly’ recipes that everyone loves and create subtle nutrition shifts that benefit the whole family!

Whether your goal is to lose body fat, gain muscle, jump higher or just feel more energized. Nutrition will play a key role in helping you get there!
