Working Together to Strengthen Your Health

Joey Mollins

Diploma – Kinesiology
Holland Collage
HITuni Certified Personal Trainer

Born and raised in Fall River, Nova Scotia, Joey has been active in sports and fitness from a young age. Throughout high school, he participated in basketball, track and field, badminton, and trained as a full-time sprint kayaker at Cheema Aquatic Club. His lifelong passion for fitness stems from a desire to help others strengthen their bodies and improve their quality of life.

After high school, Joey pursued his passion at Holland College in Charlottetown, PEI, earning a diploma in Sport and Leisure with a specialization in kinesiology. He also spent several years coaching at Cheema Aquatic Club, teaching clients ages 5 to 75 how to paddle and embrace an active lifestyle—both on the water and in the gym. These experiences deepened his skills and further fuelled his love for the fitness industry.

Joey is outgoing, detail-oriented, and dedicated to helping clients reach their goals while building healthier, more active lives. He takes pride in creating personalized, efficient training programs that keep his clients engaged and satisfied.

Outside of OneUp Fitness, Joey enjoys fishing, kayaking, and exploring Nova Scotia with family and friends.

Mathieu Charlebois

BSc.Kin, Dalhousie University

Born in Montreal and raised across Canada, Mathieu grew up active, eventually channeling his energy into competitive volleyball. While studying at Dalhousie University, he discovered a passion for strength training, which evolved into a desire to help others on their fitness journeys.

A Dalhousie graduate, Mathieu is completing the HITuni CPD HIT Course and has gained hands-on experience supporting virtual strength sessions with the Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Program.

Kyle Dinnell

B.Sc Sport Exercise Science
University of West Scotland
HITuni Certified Personal Trainer

Born in Scotland and moved to Canada. Kyle has been involved with sports his whole life, primarily soccer, cross-country running, and boxing. His journey towards working in the fitness industry started in his last year of high school, where he took a fitness course due to his disapproval of the removal of physical exercise classes from the final year timetable. He got hooked; and went on to complete a 2-year Diploma in Personal Training, which allowed him to apply to the University of the West of Scotland in Glasgow, graduating with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science with first class honours.

Kyle is very excited to be part of the OneUp Fitness team, valuing attentiveness, efficiency, and helping you stay committed for the long term. His goals are to provide you with an effective, evidence based workout tailored to all your needs. When not working or training at OneUp, he enjoys hiking the outdoors, playing sports, chess, and reading.

If you would like to schedule a workout or initial consultation with Kyle, please call our office at (902) 405-3661, or you can email Kyle directly at kyle@oneupfitness.ca.

Caspian Tohidian

B.Sc.Ki – St. FX University

Certified Personal Trainer

Caspian holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a Minor in Health Sciences from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia — bringing both academic depth and lived passion to every client he works with.

With a background spanning from exercise oncology to sport science, and strength training, Caspian takes a holistic, evidence-informed approach to fitness. He believes that movement is medicine — and that every body deserves access to knowledge that helps it thrive.

Rooted in a lifelong relationship with sports — from competitive swimming to powerlifting, weightlifting, and CrossFit — Caspian understands what it means to evolve as an athlete.

Outside of the gym, you can find him on the tennis court or reading good book on cafe or bird watching outdoors.

At the heart of his work is a profound dedication to women’s health. Inspired by the influential women in his own life — his mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother — and moved by how a lack of accessible fitness knowledge affected their bone density and muscle health over time, Caspian has made it his mission to close that gap. He trains every woman the way he would want the women he loves to be trained: with expertise, respect, and care.

A proud recipient of the Community Builder Award during his undergraduate years, Caspian is deeply committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where people of all backgrounds can pursue strength, mobility, and longevity on their own terms.

If you would like to schedule a workout or initial consultation with Caspian, contact our office at (902) 706-8153 or admin@oneupfitness.ca or contact Caspian directly at caspian@oneupfitness.ca.
