Our Story, Your Journey

We're not just another gym - we've built something different here in North Van. A place where the clock doesn't just tick, it transforms lives.

How We Got Here

Started with a single idea back in 2017 - what if we could actually measure every second of progress? What if time itself became your biggest motivator?

2017

The Beginning

Two former Olympic trainers, a cramped garage, and way too much coffee. Marcus and Jen had this wild idea that timing intervals down to the second could unlock something special. Started with just 8 members who trusted the vision.

2019

Finding Our Home

Moved into our current Marine Drive location. Designed every inch ourselves - from the timing systems to the recovery zones. Finally had space for all the equipment we'd been dreaming about. Membership hit 200 and we knew we were onto something.

2021

Growth & Adaptation

Yeah, we dealt with the pandemic stuff like everyone else. But it pushed us to get creative - added virtual training, outdoor sessions in the mountains, and honestly? It made our community tighter than ever. Added nutrition coaching and mobility work during this time too.

2023

Tech Upgrade

Invested in performance analysis tech that most pro teams use. Now we're tracking everything - power output, recovery rates, movement patterns. Sounds fancy but really it just helps us coach smarter and get you results faster.

2025

Today & Tomorrow

Over 400 members now, 12 full-time coaches, and we're just getting warmed up. Expanding our athletic performance programs and yeah, we've got some exciting stuff planned for 2026. But honestly? We're most proud of the community we've built.
