The Box
Today marked a turning point. A dream that has been in the back of my mind for some time is finally becoming reality! Together with partners Howie Tse and Liz McGurrin, we are planning the opening of our own training space in East York, Toronto: StrengthBox! And we feel that it’s going to be nothing short of fantastic!
We share a vision to create a space that is accessible to all fitness levels. We’ll make use of high-intensity interval workouts while prioritizing strength training. And we will draw upon natural movement training methodologies: essentially working to improve human skills such as jumping, climbing, running, throwing, lifting, etc. Our goal is to create practical programming that produces real results; improving athletic strength and conditioning, while promoting fitness benefits such as fat loss and lean muscle growth.
The partners and trainers in the venture bring a wide variety of experience to the table, with training backgrounds ranging from CrossFit to MovNat. And we’re pretty excited to put our collective knowledge to work!
We’re starting with some core values:
- Inspire One Another
- Have Fun
- Life Should Feel Good
Watch this space transform!
Right now, the StrengthBox is literally just that – a box. There’s some work ahead. The location is at 45 Cranfield Road, near Bermondsey and O’Connor in Toronto. It has everything we want: a good concrete floor (ready for rubber matting), high ceilings, a roll-up garage door, big skylights and windows, a loft and a reception area. Did I mention skylights? Love at first sight!
Combine a good space with knowledgeable and caring trainers, some good equipment, and a fantastic community – and it’s a recipe for results! True, there is much to be done over the next little while, but with a bit of perseverance and lot of elbow grease, we’ll get things ready for a March open! From kettlebells to sandbags – we want to have a pretty cool space to workout in!
So, stay tuned for more info, ’cause we’d love to have you a part of our StrengthBox community!
