Our Story, Our Mission

We're not here to sell you quick fixes or miracle transformations. We're here to help you put in the work that actually matters.

How We Got Started

Back in 2018, I was working with athletes who kept hitting the same walls. Programs were either too generic or too complicated. Recovery was an afterthought. Nutrition advice? Forget about it.

So I figured, why not build something different? A place where high-performance training wasn't just about crushing yourself in the gym but actually understanding what your body needs to perform better.

2018

Started with just me, a garage, and five local athletes who were willing to try something new. No fancy equipment, just solid programming and honest feedback.

2020

Opened our first real facility on West Broadway. Word got around that we actually cared about long-term results, not just monthly memberships.

2022

Brought on specialists in nutrition, mobility, and sports psychology. Started seeing clients break through plateaus they'd been stuck at for years.

2025

Now we've got a full team of coaches who've competed at national and international levels. We've worked with everyone from weekend warriors to pro athletes, and honestly, that mix keeps us sharp.

What We're Actually About

Real Progress

We track what matters - strength gains, movement quality, how you feel. Not just how good you look in gym selfies.

Honest Coaching

We'll tell you when you're ready to level up and when you need to take a step back. No BS, just what you need to hear.

Long-Term Thinking

Anyone can beat you up for six weeks. We're building athletes who can perform for years, not just until they burn out.

Why Vancouver Athletes Choose Us

Look, there's plenty of gyms in Vancouver. Most of 'em are fine for general fitness. But if you're serious about getting better at your sport or just wanna train like an athlete, this is where the difference shows up.

We don't do cookie-cutter programs. Your needs aren't the same as the person next to you, so why would your training be?

Every coach here has competed at a high level and dealt with the same struggles you're facing. We've been through the injuries, the plateaus, the mental blocks. That experience matters when things get tough.
