We are growing up this week. June 1st marks 10 years of CrossFit in Milton, but the benefits go far beyond fitness...
A member's only partner competition!
Our chance to show our appreciation to our town for allowing us to serve it's people for a decade.
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...
A 6 week challenge for anyone needing a FreshStart. Includes 6 weeks of NEW Fat burning workouts you’ve NEVER DONE BEFORE with expert coaching from elite FirePower coaches, plus nutrition guide, body composition scan & more.
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!
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...
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.
The Crossfit Games “Open 2018” is a great time of year to reflect as an athlete and appreciate how we feel compared to previous years but it is easy to beat ourself up over the competition. We take a inside Coach Mitch's brain and see how he combats negative thoughts during a workout.
The Open is the first stage of the CrossFit Games season and the largest community event of the year.

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.

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.
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.
