Our Team

Nathan Obrigewitsch

After years of being a multi-sport athlete and competitive basketball player, Nathan eventually realized his true passion for fitness and performance training. With years of experience and passion for learning, Nathan strives to provide the most effective coaching and programming possible for his athletes and clients.

Sam Spinelli

Helping people feel strong, capable, and break through limits is what drives me. With a background as a certified strength & conditioning specialist with a doctorate of physical therapy, I have a unique background in helping those become as resilient as possible. I’ve been fortunate to work with individuals from the the sick & frail, to high-performing olympic athletes.

Ame Van Zyl

As a retired gymnast with years of sport coaching experience, I have a passion for finding the most efficient, evidence-based strategies to improve health, fitness, and performance. I graduated from UBCO with a degree in Health and Exercise Sciences, and am both a certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist and practicing Kinesiologist.

Trevor Mlait

I graduated from UBC Okanagan with a bachelors in Health and Exercise Sciences and am a registered Kinesiologist. My goal is to be available to my clients and help them reach their potential whether that is in the gym or in their personal lives.

Our Core Values

Lead From the Front

We have been there, the team mate that tells you what to do instead of shows you what to do. The boss who has never done your job. The coach who knows everything but can demonstrate anything. At Thrive Kelowna, we practice what we preach and lead by example in the community.

Ethics, Honesty, and Trust

We will always be honest and act with integrity for our clients and athletes. No false expectations, everything we agree to do we will do, no excuses!

Safety First

There is nothing more important to us than the safety and well-being of our clients and athletes. This is accomplished through safe exercise progressions, individualized programs, continuous improvement in movement quality, and with effective and attentive coaching.

Accountability

We value the relationships we build with our clients and athletes. We work together to achieve our mission and hold each other accountable at all times!
