JESSICA CRAWFORD
Most mornings - at 6am, you will find me dancing on a bike- in a dark room, surrounded by the most incredible – AMAZING people. The energy created in this space feels like PURE magic- I am so inspired by the commitment, hard work and sweaty smiles that wake up to KICK ASS while the world is still sleeping.
I fell in love with fitness in 2004. In November 2004 I completed my BCRPA certification in Personal Training and finished my BCPRA Group Fitness Certification in 2005 - I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to make my mark in the fitness industry - attending as many conferences, travelling as far as I could to learn from the best of the best in the fitness industry.
Voted Penticton’s “Best of The Best” Fitness Trainer & Coach of the year is such an honor. I have been surrounded by amazing people in the industry who have helped me become the trainer I am today. I share this honor with my amazing participants & clients who continuously set goals, wake up & work hard. To the trainers and coaches who gave me the courage to make my way to the front row all those years ago. Thank you!
I specialize in Fitness Foundations, Functional & Strength Training, TRX- Total Body Resistance Exercise, Kettlebell, Barre & PURE Spin.
My favorite exercise? The one that makes you feel the strongest!! Every muscle is built to be challenged, and the BEST success comes from the hardest work.
When I’m not in the gym, you will find me spending time with my family & friends, playing in the snow or at the beach, planning future vacations and sipping my favorite wine.
I look forward to helping YOU find your BEST self at PURE GYM in Penticton!

BRANDI JOHNSTONE
Over the years I've experienced firsthand how beneficial the gym is! Going through my own transformation and learning how to live a well-balanced lifestyle has lit a spark inside me!
I want to help others feel strong, healthy, confident and most importantly happy both in the gym and outside of the gym. It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness journey, I focus on creating a program that will push you to reach your full potential and create lasting changes!
My favorite thing about training is seeing how clients transform both physically and mentally when they incorporate exercise into their lifestyle, as that is what has helped me become the person I am today! When I'm not training you can bet that I'm soaking up the sun or exploring the mountains.
MARISA LEFRANC
After completing 5 years studying at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in Kinesiology & Exercise Sciences. My studies had a heavy emphasis on the physiological mechanisms influencing physical activity with a focus on the impacts of disuse and ageing; specifically, I studied how exercise can be used as a therapy to mitigate these effects to improve quality of life.
Growing up in Penticton in an extremely active family, I spent a majority of my youth surrounded by sport. In 2018, I endured a knee injury that ended my competitive sporting career. Although this injury was devastating, it was a blessing in disguise. I developed a curiosity for physical therapy and movement as a form of medicine, ultimately inspiring me to pursue a career where I can help others become stronger and lead a life that is pain and injury free.
My goal as a trainer is to provide evidence based & informed programming for clients to achieve their health and fitness goals. I am interested in working with clients of all fitness levels, particularly those who are looking to train for longevity, as well as improve their mobility, strength, and quality of life. In my spare time you can find me treasure hunting at the thrift store, searching for the best sandwich and coffee shops, and teaching a spin class every so often in the studio.
