Rise Sport Performance Training has provided me with a fantastic training opportunity to help prepare physically for a special forces career in the military. Tammy has worked with me to create a dynamic training plan that fit my current fitness level and that lead to constant improvement. When I first worked with Tammy, I was recovering from ACL surgery and since then I improved far beyond my fitness level before the surgery, including max PT scores. Without Rise, I would not be where I am today!”

Tammy worked with the Belmont Secondary School Bulldogs Football Team for approximately 16 months and it shows in the development of the team. Her knowledge and understanding of how the body works has taken a group of young men to a level of play that they will all tell you would never have occurred without her.
As a former sergeant who has experienced leadership in many styles, both effective and not so effective, I can say that Tammy has the ability to inspire athletes to get to the next level and higher.
​I feel that Tammy would benefit any team or individual who wants to perform at the next level in any sport.

Rise Sport Performance and Fitness Training
​Tammy Kovaluk is a strength and conditioning specialist who, after working in various areas throughout Canada and the United States, is excited to be back in British Columbia, settling in Vernon. With her MSc in Kinesiology and Sport Performance, Tammy has 20+ years coaching athletes and people from all walks of life. She did not grow up as an athlete, but found her passion in fitness near the end of high school and has defied the odds: going onto compete as an amateur boxer then as a runner and competitive Ironman triathlete, elite obstacle course racer, competitor in military style ultra endurance events (including a 1st overall in the 36hr 2020 "Ultimate SUCK"), and breaking two Guinness World Records for 12 and 24hr chest to ground pushup burpees (2021), amongst other challenges. She continues to challenge herself in new ways, no matter successes nor failures, whether it is a 100 mile race or a grueling strength-endurance challenge to fundraise and raise awareness for non profits. She loves helping others through physical training, whether it is attaining that scholarship, advancing in a career, running more efficiently with less pain, or aging gracefully and enjoying a fuller, healthier life both physically and mentally. ​
Tammy brings 20+ years of experience in everything from rehabilitation to achieving peak strength, power, and athletic performance. She has helped numerous athletes attain scholarships, fulfill their dreams, successfully complete Special Forces Selection, get their first win, or attain new achievements they had not thought possible. Physical training has changed her life, and she is dedicated to helping others feel the positive impact and enjoy the best version of themselves.
​On June 5, 2021, Tammy broke two Guinness World Records for Chest to Ground Burpees as a fundraiser for Harmony Farm Sanctuary, with 6,116 in 12 hours and 6,260 in 24 hours before needing to stop due to injury. She broke both previous records (5229 for 12 hours and 5555 for 24hrs) before the 10hr mark. This is a testament to her belief in what she is instilling to those she trains. Embrace discipline and believe in yourself!
On June 22, 2024 Tammy went for more Guinness World Records, this time for "Most weight lifted in KB swings" successfully breaking both the 1 and 12hr records, (with 1761KB swings in the 1hr and 7153KB swings over 12 hours, both with a 40# KB) as fundraisers for "Aimee Beaulieu Transition House" and "Freedom Paws." Due to a technical failure with video footage, these may need to be redone to be official (pending). Sometimes you cannot control things that go wrong, but can control your mindset. ​
