Trench Fitness

You can’t fake community, and you definitely can’t force it.

It isn’t built with trendy slogans or marketing campaigns. It happens naturally when people show up, put in the work, and genuinely support one another—day in and day out.

Higgi was in the gym today training alongside our coaching team and members and it was a good reminder of what Trench Fitness is really about. It’s about creating an environment where everyone belongs, everyone works hard, and everyone gets celebrated for pushing their limits.

Culture isn’t manufactured—it’s earned right here in the Trenches when you’re putting in the work day in and day out.🏋️‍♂️💪

We did it! First ever continuous 10km run is under my belt. Sub 1 hour as well! 2 weeks to GMS Queen City Marathon

Lifting has always come easy to me. I know 10km doesn’t seem like much, but it has been a struggle and a grind. Trying to balance strength training and getting the runs in needed to get here has been a big challenge.

As a former cardio hater, this is something I never would have fathomed 10 years ago, but I now believe there is a nice balance between strength training and aerobic fitness that will lead to optimal health and longevity as we age.

After 20 years in the fitness industry I continue to learn that our bodies are so adaptable if we provide the right stimulus and recovery. Strength provides such a great foundation for layering other forms of activity and fitness on top of it.

Let this post be a reminder to go for it! If you have a big goal, set up a plan for success and commit to it. Don’t let anybody talk you out of it because you are too old, too broken, too big or too small. The first step is believing in yourself that you can do it!

Good luck at IPF Junior Worlds Theron! 🇨🇦

Tomorrow Theron Farthing embarks on his journey to South Africa to represent Canada on the World stage.

We have been privileged to have him train at Trench Fitness over the summer months and he has become an integral part of our community.

It’s not everyday that you get to witness a 93kg junior athlete squat 700+lbs. Thank-you for inspiring our members and being a part of our growing powerlifting community.

We wish you all the best at Worlds and can’t wait to see you bring home some hardware! 🥇 🇨🇦
