JEFF HOFFMAN
Jeff Hoffman originally started training
kickboxing to boost his cardio for motocross
racing, then one day in class his instructor
(local legend Stan Peterec, a veteran fighter and
promoter) asked him if he wanted to take a real
fight in the ring. Needless to say he accepted,
and ever since then he has been hooked!

44
years of age, Jeff recently lost
a tough split decision against
an opponent much his junior,
but left the ring with the satisfaction of
knowing he can still bang it out with the
young guys.
After working as a welder for years Jeff got
tired of the trade and made the move to
start a business that he was truly passionate
about, opening his shop Fighter Fitness.
Selling supplements and combat sports
gear allows him to stay connected to the
local fitness and fight scene, and provides
him a forum to share the knowledge he
has gained over the years. Jeff says, “I love
helping people achieve their fitness goals,
and I’m always at the shop to answer any
questions or help with diet tips.”
Jeff has many tattoos from different artists
but his favorite piece is actually a work in
progress, a full back piece of a Japanese
geisha and tiger from Paige at Darkhorse
Tattoo in Langford, BC.
