Wilson Tang

Fitness Coach

I was a former engineering student and infantry soldier for the Armed Forces before I chose a career in fitness and lifestyle. This transition came about because I believe that optimal heath and wellness are directly linked to exercise and diet. I've chosen to be a part of the family at Renewed Balance, a team of extremely genuine people who truly care for one another as we all push to live life to the fullest. 

My favourite exercises are the Waist-Banded Sprint and Overhead Squat, because they both require perfect biomechanics found in strength and flexibility. This is how I train my clients: first we master the biomechanics by improving strength and flexibility, and then we build up to more advanced exercises. 

Hugo Salazar

Fitness Coach

I was born and raised in Venezuela, and have since lived in Texas, Toronto, Vancouver, and now Calgary.

I am a sports fanatic, especially when it comes to soccer and American football. My passion for sports and fitness are some of the reasons why I became a personal trainer. To further expand my knowledge of training for sports and athletes, I am in the process of becoming a certified strength and conditioning coach.

I enjoy any and all activities that involve being outside. During the summer, I like to spend my time playing soccer and camping, and during the winter you can find me snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains.
