About Tina

Tina Derix – Victoria Personal Trainer

I am a small business owner and Personal Trainer in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. I am a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Muay Thai Kickboxer. I have spent the last 8 years training the in the art of Muay Thai kickboxing from one of the most accomplished fighters in Canada – Stan Peterec. His excellent teaching soon brought me into the ring myself and helped propel me through a successful amateur fighting career which culminated in 2009 with my win of the ISKA North American Women’s Superbantam Weight Title. After putting so much of my time and energy into training and educating myself, it was a natural progession to turn that focus and passion into a career. With an eye to the future and the help of many friends, I created Element Fitness. I use a wide variety of training formats and styles such as Weight Training, Spin, Fight style training, Interval Training, etc to help push my clients to build healthy strong bodies. My goal is to help you find your element in fitness – where you will thrive and grow, just like I did.
