Bernard was raised in the heart of Vancouver and had always been a competitive athlete since high school. He was never someone who interested in training with heavy weights but instead he enjoys cardio training much more.

As he matured into his University years, it was his first introduced to a regular global gym with his workout buddies. Unlike other bodybuilders, he did not hit the gym regularly. His instinct told him that there was more out there then just static workout with weights. 

His search went on for training programs from YouTube and the Internet looking for something that combines both weights and cardio training until he had stumbled upon CrossFit by one of his close friends.

​

After a short year of training, the results were astounding, seeing huge improvements from flexibility to strength.  Moving back to Hong Kong to stay close to his family he was able to build his passion further and share with many others now in Hong Kong with Fitness Playground HK.
