Biography

Honore Levesque

I’m Honore Levesque (my first name is pronounced: o-no-re), but to simplify it my friends call me Nore. I come from a French Canadian background on my father’s side and an African (D.R.C) background on my mother’s side. Bringing a different and unique look to the fitness industry, I wish to leave my mark and be known internationally as an extreme athlete and as an inspiration/motivation to live a clean and healthy lifestyle.

I’ve always been involved in sports from a young age. My first love, like most kid living in Africa, was soccer (we called football in Africa). After moving from Africa to Canada at age 8 my love for sports kept growing and diversifying. I’ve did all sports from hockey to badminton to martial arts, but I was mostly into basket-ball, volley-ball and eventually weight lifting.

My passion for weight lifting started between my last year of high school and first year of university. As an Electrical engineer student I was spending a lot of time on campus studying, doing homework and working on different projects. With less time on my hands to join any team sports, I made sure to squeeze in a workout during the day to disconnect from school and to keep me sane.

After my university years, I’ve worked as a public servant but quickly realized that the routine of an office job wasn’t for me. I loved helping people, which I still do as a personal trainer. I also get to educate my clients on living an active and healthy life, setting achievable goals and showing them how to make these goals impossible to fail.
