Capital City Athletics

The CCA family is growing! We are so proud of these 3 lovely ladies! at 33 weeks, .city at 28 weeks, and Laurie Ogata at 21 weeks - these strong ladies crushed the hero WOD "Whitten" on Remembrance Day! Their dedication is truly inspiring. Next time you find yourself making excuses that you cannot workout, think of these 3! We love supporting our women in fitness throughout their pregnancies, and the results speak for themselves - easier labor, faster recovery, and an all-around positive experience. Huge congrats to these three - you’re setting the standard!

Kennedy stopped in one last time to get her stuff. We were thankful we could say goodbye. Good luck on the next chapter of your life! I'm not sure who is going to make fun of clothes now...

Tomorrow we will be joining & several other gyms in the Edmonton region and around Canada in completing the Hero WOD "BIG RIG." This workout will be done in honour of LCOL Kent Miller who sadly passed away in November.

Jenn Wood. In the gym she is known as Motley, which stems from her roller derby days, back when she was taking names.  As well for her love of the band Motley Crue.  Motley is more than just roller derby and hair metal.  She has a great sense of humor is an avid world traveler, often traveling solo, loves cardio workouts especially the deck or cards WOD.  She is often seen in the gym with her sidekick, Celeste or in the derby world  "Petra.". I'm sure They both took names on the derby circuit back in the day!

She was often late for the 6am, but if she signed in you knew she would show.  She would come in eyes half closed, looking as if this was the last place she wanted to be. sometimes I wondered how she even drove here!? "Wake up your asleep at the wheel!" Although being late didn't stop her from shouting hilarious orders at me to start the workout!  "Let's go!" She would say.  we had a lot of laughs over the 8 or so years that she was a fixture of CCA.  From HIIT workouts with silly dancing and her belting out metal tunes during workouts as they played in the background.  

She is a lovely person, and I'm happy to call her a friend.  I wish her the utmost luck on her new journey and admire her for not chasing the norm and following her heart.  Thank you for being you.

Last Friday was Tamara's last class at CCA before starting her new life in Texas. Tamara started at CCA around Oct of 2022. She had one of the most consistent attendance records here at CCA and was easily one of our core members. She paid close attention to detail when it came to her lifts and was always looking to improve. She was a pleasure to coach and we are happy that she was a part of the CCA family!

We wish her much luck on her new endeavors and look forward to the times she visits!

Summer is for running! With our long winters we love when that bay door opens and we can get outside. Running is an important part of our strength and conditioning program.
