Chris Kinnear
Owner / Head Product Consultant
From an owner’s standpoint, I strive to utilize my 27+ yrs of experience in the Canadian supplement industry and combine that with my passion to support others to help all my clients reach their true potential and live a healthier more vibrant life!
As a former professional athlete, playing for the Victoria Sr. A Shamrocks of the WLA (2003-2009) winning 2 Mann Cup National titles. I know the role that "performance nutrition" had at gaining a much needed advantage over the often younger competition. I try to use this practical knowledge to better help my clients perform at their very best, whatever sport or activity they want to do.
Over the past 18 years I have worked very hard to assemble a very knowledgeable staff here at Popeyes Supplements Victoria that share my very same passion of helping others. Thru focused education regarding supplements, training & lifestyle tips we work together as a team to get you the very best, up to date knowledge available at the time and advise you what products should work best for each individual.
Together we invite you to come speak with any one of us (free of charge) to help design the optimal supplement program for suit your individual needs or those of your entire family including your kids !

Sasheena
Sales / Certified Nutritionist
GBCRPA personal trainer / ISSA Nutrition coach / Resident “Snack” Master
My love of fitness and nutrition started with being a competitive gymnast from a very young age. My grandmother was very influential in my life, we ate out of her garden, we saw a naturopath, and she believed that almost every ailment could be fixed through diet. She was way ahead of her time. Now, as a certified trainer & nutritionist I get to help clients reach their own goals and better their lives.
I love working at Popeyes because that is exactly what we do. We don’t sell things people don’t need, we don’t push products. We want everyone to be the best, healthiest version of themselves and we guide them towards that!
BONUS: I really love all the yummy snacks we offer in store

Sahil
Sales / Product Consultant
Hi I’m Sahil, I have always had a great passion for sports & fitness. I’ve grown up with a varied athletic background as I enjoyed playing a wide variety of sports in my youth. In my teens I would say my true love was basketball but currently I am pursing boxing. I am in the final year of my degree of Recreation and Health Education at Uvic and love that I can incorporate my interests of sport and exercise to my academia. I enjoy working at Popeyes Victoria as it gives me an opportunity to support customers in ways of helping them achieve their health related or fitness goals. I love that I can apply my knowledge from my studies towards nutritional consultations and leave customers feeling satisfied and even a little more educated then when they first came in.
