Devaughn Harper

Moving from urban Montreal to a ranch in Sudbury, provided a unique upbringing with more than a dozen family members hosting day-camps & year-round activity with all life on the ranch; horses, chickens, goats, cats, dogs and of course a donkey that we often needed functional strength to deal with. Being physically active from an early age helped me build a foundation that's served me throughout my fitness journey - life. Surviving critical illness early on created gratitude and much fuel.

I enjoy weight-lifting, usually training with functional strength in mind. I enjoy playing basketball and football to name a couple specifics, so I incorporate plyometrics and agility training in my program. I see my training as a wholistic approach, but my favourite moments surround the competitiveness sport brings out; whether that's some banter with opponents during the game or executing goals with teammates. Currently I'm on the road back from an ankle injury/surgery.

My brother was refused a kidney transplant due to his vaccination status and died in the face of discrimination. Forging a path of freedom for others on their own health and wellness journey is my mission. Funds will aid in spreading awareness and ensuring others have access to tools and information to take charge of their health.
