My name’s Jordon Stevenson I grew up and have lived in Tsawwassen pretty much my whole life. For the last 5 years I have been working diligently as a certified Personal trainer. I typically spend about 8-16 hours a day helping individuals with their fitness goals. If I am not training people, I enjoy golfing, hiking, paddle boarding, and pretty much anything you can do outdoors.
Having the pleasure to help hundreds of people work towards and achieve their fitness goals is something that I always find extremely satisfying.

In using these proven techniques, I have been able to see great success with people’s mobility, strength, and body composition. As well as in pain reduction or complete removal of pain through movement and by improving fascial glide (Self Myofascial Release or foam rolling).
I specialize in Functional Strength and mobility, but not limited to. I have helped people rehabilitate shoulders, hips, knees, and backs after suffering an injury or surgery. Although I prefer to prevent injuries through safe training practices focusing on quality movement and optimizing your biomechanics. I would love the opportunity to show you how I can help you!

JEFF FRIESEN
Certified Personal Trainer
Certified Nutritionist
Active Rehab and Injury Prevention
Strength + Conditioning Coach
Since becoming a personal trainer in 2019, Jeff has helped many people connect to their body through diet and exercise. “I believe everybody deserves the right to live a pain free life, and to have the tools and support needed to reach their highest potential. I became a trainer because I realized there was a substantial amount of people suffering with everyday aches and pains, and through my own experiences knew that learning the right exercises can really enhance the quality of life.”
A new resident of Tsawwassen, Jeff is looking forward to impacting many people within the community and helping them live a stronger, healthier life. “Using proven techniques my goal is to simplify movement patterns, re-enforce structure and routine, and make the experience fun and enjoyable along the journey!”
From mastering foundational movement patterns, feeling more confident in your workouts, or finding creative ways to crush your goals – Jeff has a wide range of knowledge and expertise to help people of all fitness levels, to help fuel growth both inside and outside the gym.

“As a 62 year old woman, I’m well aware of the benefits of exercising and, in particular, weight training. I’ve been working with Shannon for a year now and have found that I feel very empowered in and with the strength, weight loss and muscle definition that I’ve gained in addition to range of motion. I’ve recently run a running race where I came in second in my age group and contribute that outcome directly to training with Shannon. She’s a wonderful trainer… experienced, fun, funny and always, always holds me accountable… which I love. I highly recommend Shannon and miss my workouts when I can’t attend.”
“Regular exercise gives me a feeling of well being that I don’t get from other activities. I’m stronger and more coordinated than when I was younger, which I feel is important to maintain as I age. Whether it’s weights or cardio Shannon makes all my workouts challenging, fun and something I look forward to.”
“ The trainers push us hard enough to get the results we want while keeping it fun ”
“ I started training at Muscle Memory with my daughter because we were looking to upgrade our own workouts. I enjoy the atmosphere, and since I started coming, I’ve completed the Delta triathlon two years in a row. I am in the best shape of my life, stronger than I was in my twenties. Personal Training is the best way to improve your fitness. ”
“ I highly recommend Muscle Memory and their fantastic trainers to anyone with a specific fitness goal or just looking for a healthier lifestyle. Oh, and my own resolution – down 43 pounds! Thanks Mike! ”
