There is a specific kind of fitness frustration that belongs almost exclusively to high-functioning professionals. It’s not a lack of knowledge about what they should be doing. Most busy professionals in Richmond and Vancouver know that strength training is important, have read enough about the research to understand why, and…

If you’ve started pricing out personal training in Vancouver, you’ve likely noticed that the numbers vary enough to make direct comparison difficult.

It is also, somewhat ironically, one of the…

Broadmoor and Seafair sit in the quieter, more residential western pocket of Richmond, the kind of neighbourhoods where people have settled into real life: established careers, family routines, houses that require actual maintenance, and schedules that leave very little room for wasted time.
