We’re kicking off 2024 with a brand new podcast episode featuring Kyla Zalapski, founder of Ground Zero Basics Inc. and owner of Fitness Evolution. Does the name sound familiar? Kyla is the younger sister of the late Zarley Zalapski, a former Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman from 1987 to 2010 who played on the Canadian national team and was drafted later by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Kyla takes us back in time to growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and following along as a supporter of her brother up through the ranks to the NHL and into retirement. She speaks about the hardships that professional athletes face and how that drove her to pursue focusing on preparing athletes for what comes after the sport. A fitness fanatic who loves steak and seafood, Kyla believes fulfillment is a key to life and she lays it all out for us.
