Introducing Our First Ever SUPERMEET!

As a healthcare worker, Tisha's last 12 months have been through hell and back and it's not over yet. But here she reflects on how quickly her state of mind can change now that the gym has reopened.

Neda was looking for a new routine and changes to her health. At 25lbs lost already, she's half way to her goal and all the way in on confidence!

It seems everyone these days are seeking the quick fix. In reality, there is no quick fix. There's only hard work, dedication and the results will come. Karen and Jason are examples of a family diving head first into a long term lifestyle. The results speak for themselves.

John shares his journey to finding confidence in all areas of life with the impact on him mentally, emotionally, and physically.

When a client walks through the door, they aren't judged on their abilities, but their determination and effort. Coach Annie shares this heartwarming story of her client Pam who changed her life and those around her, including Annie's.

Samreen began at FirePower ahead of her time. She was the lone teenager in a sea of thirty to forty-something year old athletes. She had no one to relate to. She had never participated in any physical challenge; CrossFit was her introduction. Despite being out of place and over challenged Samreen had a determination and kindness that was unparalleled.

Today we are honoured to bring you the final instalment in our 2019 campaign we called Fitness Is Who I Am. We’ve spent the last 8 months bringing you stories of amazing members who have made fitness part of their lives; beyond classes, beyond squats, thrusters and burpees; beyond the cosmetic or weightloss outer self; and beyond themselves.

"FirePower has been by my side through the worst time of my life and for that I am forever grateful. Any time I speak or think of FirePower I smile."

Maria joined FirePower 8 years ago when she was 16 years old, way before we had a varsity program. With the soul of a lamb but the heart of a lion, she soon became everyone’s favourite “Little Maria”. Here's her story of how fitness has influenced her life.

After learning that his driver’s license had been suspended for medical reasons and that all of his retirement plans were now on hold, Jon (62 years old) joined FirePower in February 2019. He decided to take advantage of the fact that he was “stranded in Milton”, got his mountain bike tuned up and peddled over to FirePower. His new project was himself!

Our campaign of Fitness Is Who I Am aims to showcase our members who are using their fitness outside the gym to shape their lives. Beyond CrossFit and the rugby field, the Jones family shows us it doesn’t stop there!

For most, fitness is simply a way to stay healthy, to maintain a reasonable body weight, ward off disease, or simply look good for their partner. For Coach BrianKay (“BK”), fitness has an entirely different meaning: to save his life and those around him.

We are wonderfully excited to present the next in our series Fitness Is Who I Am. ‍ We are beyond proud of his accomplishments inside the gym, but more inspired by his pursuit of humanity outside the gym and across the globe.

Fitness isn’t something you do; it’s who you are. It’s the lens of of how you see yourself in the world. For some it’s your lifeline to keep your sanity while for others it’s a health necessity to keep you alive. Here's Andrea's story of how fitness influences her life decisions.

FirePower's vision is to 'Reconnect Families Through Sport', and this is one of my fav examples.

David has been FirePower member for close to 3 years now. Despite a long list of physical injuries and limitations, he's proof that with determination, precision coaching and time served, he can rebuild himself to a new level of athlete!

Katie & her husband Stuart are members at FirePower. This past week she earned her "100 Shirt" and wrote this post on her FaceBook. With her permission, we couldn't be more proud to share it!

I was a mid-30s Dad looking to step out of my comfort zone and try some new stuff. Years later I have a list of personal accomplishments that I would have never thought possible and more importantly I’ve found a second home/family.

In 10 short months, this FirePower Varsity athlete transformed his physical self, gained confidence and is inspired his family along the way!

Sometimes life takes you places you never anticipated. A little piece of FirePower will be traveling half way across the globe for a while. Rodd Olmstead, dubbed the "Mayor of 6am", will be heading to Japan for a year. Here's his message to the community.

3719. That’s how many days of FirePower since Day 1. That’s almost four thousand days of cool gym happenings, recollections, and memories. But sometimes, random moments stick in my brain like it was yesterday. There is one moment that has stuck with me for years...

Tammy and her husband Jay came to FirePower in 2008 seeking weightloss but found so much more. Close to a decade later, “Mighty Mouse” is seeing strength and benchmark workout improvements, and still finding joy in the same community.

Trying to lose weight on your own? How do you sift through all the clutter of fad diets, friends’ advice, what used to work, aging and more? You get a NUTRITION COACH!

If you’ve been away from the gym for 6 months due to COVID or 6 years because life got in the way, right now is a great time for anyone to reintroduce the gym into their workout routine!

To ensure we can stay open as a business to serve our community, we must comply with this temporary measure required by the government.

Instead of a total solution magic bullet, what small action can move you closer to where you want to be? Then repeat, and repeat. And repeat.

What this new Public Health level means for FirePower members at this time.

We are continuing to operate following all HALTON Public Health Guidelines, but are taking some extra precautionary measures.

Welcome to Fall 2020 for current members, returning members, and new members! There are many program details, need to knows, information, and where to start's in this blog post.

As we begin Phase 3 in our local area, some things will change... but not for us just yet.

We began with a soft opening on Friday June 19th, operating outdoors based on Halton Public Health guidelines. To make sure things run smoothly we have put some guidelines in place.

If you’ve been away from the gym for 4 months due to Quarantine & Social-Distancing or 4 years or more because of any other reason, right now is a great time for anyone to reintroduce the gym into their workout routine!

We, the owners and staff stand for our personal truths and our philosophy “Nothing is stronger than family.”

We are committed to ensuring our space is 100 percent free of racism. ‍

FirePower still has a solid group of competitive CrossFit athletes among us - and they need to be celebrated!

Great coaches don’t have to prove they’re the best player to gain the respect of their athletes.

Are you finding you've hit a wall with your current fitness regime? You're not alone.

We were recently acknowledged for our accomplishment as a business, but lets always remember why we do what we do.

New To CrossFit? Here's What You Need To Know About The OPEN.

Fitness doesn't define who you are outside the gym. It's a gateway to the confidence, energetic and fun ways you enjoy life!

Introducing "FirePower Cares". Our special way to share with you a resource of care and listening to the hurdles, challenges, and pressures of life that hold you back from greatness. We are blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful person in our community who cares so much about our members to offer help.

Coach Ryan tells us a little bit about his past and journey with fitness, food, and what brought him to where he is today. "I was on the heavier side in terms of bodyweight but didn’t think anything of it. I was always informed kids are allowed to be 'heavier' or 'built like a football player.' Boy…was I wrong about how football players were built."

That feeling when you have everything together and organized… How does this impact your self care, in particular, your nutrition and exercise patterns?

Success doesn't come from one moment in time. It's about the steps we take to reach our goals. Read more to take a closer look at building habits and how they contribute to your life.

The simple fact of the matter is that you don't suck as much as you think you do. You can do this. You are doing this. (from Words By Lisbeth)

We are all about TEAM at #teamfirepower. Sometimes you're carrying a teammate, and sometimes you're the one being carried. At the end of the day, it's all team member's level of combined effort, not just skill that makes the best teammates.

It is easy to find ourselves constantly thinking about goal setting but rarely taking action. Whether it’s improving our nutrition, working on a perfect squat, or trying to stress less about work, it’s easy when life gets busy to lose sight of these objectives. The best thing you can do is...

The beautiful thing about Crossfit is that anyone can do it. We consistently see many inspirational stories on social media reflecting the way athletes adjust movements or scale to fit their needs, and we LOVE IT! The question is, why can we appreciate the effort that others put in...

Our coaching roster is growing again! We officially welcome Ryan Devries to the coaching staff.

When your questioned about where you workout at, what do you say to explain CrossFit? Try some of these the next time someone asks. I train in a box. It has walls…sometimes. Sometimes we go outside. Sometimes we meet elsewhere. Its not the location I value, its the people. I train in an open space, because bars and my training partners fly everywhere.

Swearing you will get into shape is one of the dumbest New Year’s Resolutions ever. Getting into shape isn’t something you, “do” and when you scream to the world that this is the year you will change your life. You will fail…. unless you understand that getting into shape isn’t something that is done, but how you live. Health is a journey, not a destination
