Our Story

Look, I didn't start this place 'cause I wanted a fancy business card. Started it 'cause I was tired of seeing people waste their potential in cookie-cutter gyms that treated 'em like numbers.

Back in 2019, I was running combat conditioning sessions out of a buddy's garage in East Van. Just me, some beat-up equipment, and folks who actually wanted to work. No mirrors, no Instagram posing - just sweat and results. Word spread fast.

By 2020, we'd outgrown that space. Found this warehouse on Granville and knew it was the one. Spent months converting it - kept the raw concrete, the exposed beams, everything that made it feel real. We opened in early 2021, right when people needed a place that didn't BS them about fitness.

What sets us apart? We don't sugarcoat anything. You're gonna work harder than you thought possible, and you're gonna love it. Our coaches aren't just certified - they've been in the cage, on the platform, in the trenches. They've lived it.

We built this place for people who want more than a treadmill and a smoothie bar. It's for folks who understand that real strength comes from pushing past comfortable, from testing yourself when it counts.

Today, we're proud to be Vancouver's go-to spot for functional training and combat conditioning. But honestly? We're still that garage gym at heart - just with better equipment and legal occupancy permits.
