Meet Yaro

Raised in Gatineau, and growing up competing in sports such as gymnastics, karate and biathlon. Yaro is stoked to join the team at Athletica, sharing his love for weight lifting and general fitness with the CA community. 

Outside of the gym, Yaro works as Paramedic in Ottawa, when he’s not at CA or on shift he’s most likely running the trails, skiing in the hills around the area, surfing the waves of the Ottawa river or on a trip to visiting a new country.
