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.

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.

If you are reading this, chances are you are a fitness addict. Non-fitness addicts don't understand your dedication and may sometimes even call it an obsession. However, even as dedicated as you may be, it is normal to go through slumps or feel unmotivated for small periods of time...
As hard as it is to believe, we are less than 2 months away from 2019 -- The New Year. The new year is the time when we set goals that we want to accomplish in the 12 months ahead of us. These goals are usually related to weight loss, travel, work, getting fit or focusing more on ourselves. These are what we plan to be our next steps in life.
The holidays go by in a blur and they can be some of our most memorable times and also some of our most stressful of times. Many people struggle this time of the year with their nutrition and fitness goals due to this stress.
With the leaves fully changing colour with the fall season, you might have already noticed pumpkin spice everything, holiday décor and activities, and an increase in prices for those holiday flight tickets home. Another thing that comes with the change in seasons is a change in our schedules and routines.
Many of us at one point or another have dealt or are dealing with some form of pain in our shoulders. Sometimes we try stretching them, backing off weight in workouts, or massaging shoulders with a lacrosse ball and things never seem to be 100%. That’s because typical soreness in shoulders is a result of something else.
Many of us dread stepping on the scale. It’s the uncertainty of “will my weight be up or down?” Has all of my hard work, planning and tracking worked? The truth is, our weight doesn’t accurately represent our body composition. People’s weight only represents their OVERALL WEIGHT at that specific point in time...
If your energy could only be put towards three things, what would they be? Most people have family and job as two of the three but what is the third? For the majority the third thing a hobby but it will change and evolve...
Food logging.You may have heard people talking about it, or you may have even tried it yourself with mixed feelings. Food logging can potentially be a tedious process and even a little stressful for some. But, is food logging worth the time? Here is one scenario that happens a lot, and it may have even happened to you!
Think about your typical week. Most likely, you can predict what days you will be working late, driving the kids to activities, or simply too exhausted to cook. In fact, your typical day may include waking up at 5 am, getting the kids ready for school, a full day of work, picking up the kids to take them to practice, then getting home after dark.
Struggling with weightloss? We see people with different ideas of how they can cut corners or get stuck in myths that simply aren't true. Let's set the facts straight!
Thanksgiving is in 7 weeks. Assuming you exercise 3 days per week every week until Turkey Day, that’s 21 “fitness days” until it’s almost “The Holidays”.
Coach Karen has a delicious Bean & Rice Salad recipe for you to try - great to have for lunch or pre workout.
Vitamin D is unique among vitamins working more like a hormone at the level of our DNA. Likely why vitamin D has been linked to so many health outcomes including calcium absorption, bone density, mental well-being, brain health, glucose metabolism, muscle function, cardiovascular outcomes, and immune health to name a few.

The healthy snack section of the grocery store is getting bigger and bigger, but does it automatically mean that what’s there is good for us? Not always! In fact, many of the packaged items in that area of the store aren’t as healthy as you think.
A while ago I attended an amazing health convention where the main speaker discussed Vitamin D. It was too good to share! The speaker was Dr. Myron Wentz, World-Renowned Microbiologist/Immunologist, Winner of the Albert Einstein Lifetime Achievement Award. Here was my takeaway.
A while back I wrote a post called 25 Ways to Become a Better CrossFitter. When it comes to CrossFit (and most other sports) most people understand that to become better athletes they must train hard, train weaknesses, and train often. But the time you spend in the gym is only one piece of the puzzle that represents your development as an athlete.
As a physical therapist and strength and conditioning coach, I’ve spent a good portion of my professional career talking to people about recovery, either in the clinic following an injury or in the gym following a high-intensity workout. Since I believe that brief, high-intensity exercise is the most productive in terms of maximizing fitness and minimizing
Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System for the Fall Season:~by Dr. Jaime~Diet: Following a diet abundant in fruits and vegetables will provide the body with plenty of antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. Antioxidants can scavenge the free radicals that may cause us to catch colds and feel run down. In addition fruits and vegetables provide more vitamins
I believe the digestive system is the core of life energy, intuition and longevity. Unfortunately, we’re turning into a bloated and constipated nation. We spend millions on laxatives, antacids, fiber, and enzymes when often a healthy diet is enough to regulate things. To maintain optimal digestive health and avoid many modern diseases, I recommend adding the
I came across this article from one of my nutritionists, Amy Kubal. We were discussing the challenges people face with “Going Paleo” and how to make it work for them given their lifestyle, family situations, finances, commitment/motivation, etc. Amy shared her article below with me and a few more I’ll post shortly. Hope you find it helpful! In health, AES
