POWTOWN CROSSFIT

In 2015, I was living in Greater Vancouver and found myself lacking a sense of community and social life as I got older. Someone told me about CrossFit and the community that comes with it. I didn’t think group workouts would work for me seeing that I already had a gym routine and was in great shape (or so I thought). 

 

Having nothing to lose, I attended a CrossFit class and instantly fell in love with the people and comradery. The workouts were challenging with various movements that were new to me, despite being an avid gym goer my whole life. I parked my ego at the door and had so much fun starting at the bottom, learning the foundations and slowly progressing with the encouragement from my peers. A few years in, I followed a dream of owning my own gym. I sold my house in the city and moved back to my hometown. I’ve always had a hard work ethic and knew I would make this dream a reality. In 2018, PowTown CrossFit was born. 

 

I’m proud of the culture and community we’ve created at PowTown. The gym is incredibly social, we celebrate milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, get together for the CrossFit Open and sometimes even go for a coffee or hangout and chat after a workout. We welcome all ages, fitness levels and walks of life in a supportive, encouraging environment . At PowTown, you’re getting more than just a great workout. You’re gaining a community, support network and lifelong friends. 

 

I’m grateful everyday that I took a leap of faith and decided to join a CrossFit Gym. My only regret is that I didn’t join sooner!
