Mathew Pardo Velasco is a 33 year old, FQBO certified Boxing coach and trainer. A Montreal native with Filipino roots, Mathew has been working with family, friends and the Montreal community to teach people the art of boxing over the last 4 years.

” Immediately after the first session, I knew that I was in my element and I loved it. Boxing became a source of strength and anxiety relief while dealing with depression, life lows and mental health issues.

I’m very grateful and humbled to be able to help people in many ways through boxing . Whether it’s to get active, lose weight, learn the sport or cope with mental help issues. I’m proud to have obtained my certification and will continue my mission to teach people, young and old, the art of boxing.”

I had the pleasure of chatting with Juli (@juli.workinprogress), whose journey I've been following for over a year. From when she first began her journey on New Year's Day 2024 to 365 days later, she remains consistent and going strong. I am so proud of everything she has accomplished in a year, especially those non-scale victories. She talks about her 'Why' and her determination to keep going despite the many obstacles along the way.

I had the pleasure to chat with my friend William Pickernell aka Nativesaiyan who shared his incredible fitness journey. I asked him about his “Why” and he got candid about what got him to start exercising. Since his wake up call, he went from being bed bound, to now exercising and living more independently, losing over 200 lbs in the process. This is a snippet of our podcast episode. It was such a pleasure chatting with him. He has the biggest heart and is just such an amazing human being who inspires me on the daily.
