Mal Irvine (They/Them)
Personal Trainer + Group Coach
About
Growing up Mal played a variety of competitive sports including soccer, track & field, cross-country skiing and basketball. They graduated from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.
Fitness has always been an outlet for Mal for as long as they can remember. With two parents who competed at National levels in water sports, Mal grew up around athletes and was always a driven individual. When they feel stressed, had a bad day, or just need to find common ground with themself, working out has always been the answer. They are extremely passionate about fitness, community, inclusion and equality and want to share these important qualities they display with others.
When Mal is not in the gym, they are most likely outdoors either cycling, trail running or walking their mom's dog, Pumpkin. Their favourite spots in Valley are Seal Bay Park, Airforce Beach and Goose Spit.
As a group fitness instructor and personal trainer, Mal's main objective is to help individuals reach their goals while creating a fun, safe, and inclusive atmosphere. "I want to make fitness enjoyable and help individuals find passion in movement while helping them overcome any boundaries they may face".
