The Founders
Zacchaeus Chan
Zac is the co-founder of WerkHaus and the director of education. Zac began his journey in his undergrad when he found his passion for long distance running and became a competitive distance runner. Afterwards, Zac was immediately immersed in the Health and Fitness industry working alongside Toronto powerhouses such as Stephanie Joanne, Eva Redpath, and joining the groundbreaking team at Equinox.
Bridging his education in exercise physiology and physical therapy, Zac has always found that effective therapy ought to lead to effective training and has brought that mentality to WerkHaus. Zac is constantly teaching young aspiring health and fitness professionals key fundamental therapy techniques and how to use them effectively within the realm of strength and conditioning training.
Jane Yuan
Jane is the co-founder of WerkHaus and the director of operations. Jane always had a keen eye for creative design and wanted to share her creative flare with the world. But being the eclectic woman that she is, decided to pursue formal education in business. After mastering the principles of what it took to be a successful entrepreneur, Jane decided to pursue multiple projects including interior design, luxury retail and travel.
Jane’s journey into health and wellness began with training as a client which ignited a spark in wanting to spread the many benefits of what a healthy lifestyle can bring to anyone. Seeing an opportunity to fill the niche of a bespoke, boutique experience for fitness and therapy, Jane humbly began what we now call WerkHaus.
