WHo we are
Cory and Erin met at a Fit Body Boot Camp in Cochrane, AB. Erin was working in healthcare at the time, and Cory had just graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology.
Cory started coaching at FBBC and Erin was a client. Erin joined the gym, as she was getting more sedentary, and more depressed, and she wanted to meet some like-minded people and start working on her health. Cory had just finished working on his aunt and uncle’s farm, and was looking for a career that used his new degree.
One thing led to another (there may have been a breach of coach/client contract 😜) and eventually Cory and Erin ended up together, realizing that they wanted to open up their own gym. They reached out to the FBBC franchise, found an opportunity in Coquitlam, and uprooted their lives to move out to BC.
Cory and Erin opened up Coquitlam FBBC 6 months before covid hit, and although this was a very challenging time as new business owners, their community grew and got stronger as a result.
Many years later, they have parted from the franchise, re-branded as Axe Fitness, and they are still going strong with their mission to build a healthier, happier, and stronger community. 💪
What We Do
35-minute group fitness classes, following a HIIT-style workout (High-Intensity Interval Training).
The workouts are fast-paced, different every day, and EFFECTIVE.
We have been voted the best gym in Coquitlam for 4 years in a row and work to provide the best possible experience to our members each and every day.
We live and breathe our core values, which you can find and follow along with here.
Why We Do It
We are in the business of building better humans.
What does this mean?
Instilling simple habits (like exercising regularly, drinking 100-120oz of water each day, showing up to workouts on time, eating good food, etc.) that help people gain the confidence to succeed and build a better life for themselves.
If you as an individual can raise your standards, strive to be 1% better each day, and work to be the BEST version of yourself, collectively we will all get better as a community; and THAT is our mission and THAT is why we do what we do.
“WE ALL DO BETTER WHEN WE ALL DO BETTER.”
