About Us
Dylan de Paul, Founder
Dylan has a background in Kinesiology and Disability Management. He is also a certified personal trainer with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. While studying at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Dylan’s eyes were opened to the fundamentals of science and their application in strength and conditioning.
In his final year, a rugby injury caused a severe lumbar herniation requiring multiple surgeries to his spine. In an instant Dylan went from training 6 days a week to not being able to walk. Spending a full year in recovery ignited Dylan’s passion for injury rehabilitation and helped redefine his training philosophy.
Dylan believes our time in the gym should allow us to live the life we want OUTSIDE the gym. Whether it be keeping up with your grandkids on a hike or getting 60+ days on the mountain this season – your training should allow you to excel at the things you love to do.
Dylan’s love for training is second only to his love for the outdoors. As an amateur snowboarder, hiker, surfer, trail runner, and canoe camper, Dylan’s goals in his own training are to ensure he can perform these activities pain free.
Testimonials
Dylan’s group fitness classes were such a great introduction to functional training! I learned so much about how my body should move and got way stronger in the process. His coaching cues really helped me understand proper form. He also happens to be one of the nicest and most genuine people you’ll ever come across! Wish he was still in Ottawa!
Dylan is an ideal personal trainer- he’s enthusiastic, motivating, and fun to be around, but also has a wealth of technical knowledge and expertise, so you can be confident that what you’re doing is good for the long-term health of your body. My workouts with him were by far the most effective I’ve done and I learned a lot in the process.

The Kodama Difference
Kodama revolves around the notion that our bodies and our planet are of the utmost importance in life. Without either, we cannot exist. Many of us are taking steps towards leading healthier lives. At Kodama Collective, we hope to inspire and educate our clients on how best to invest in both their health and that of the planet. Ensuring you’re still able to get out into the backcountry when you have grandkids… and that there is still a backcountry to get out into…
