Celebrating our INCREDIBLE Fitset Ninjas 🥷 🏆
February has been absolutely packed with competition season energy and our Fitset Ninjas have been CRUSHING IT.
First up — the NSC Stage 2 Qualifier in Castle Rock, Colorado at Ninja Intensity. Eleven Fitset Ninja athletes (the highest number represented by any gym at the competition!) stepped onto one of the most competitive stages in the world — the Ninja Sport Championship Pro Division. For eight of them, this was their very first NSC competition.
Huge shoutout to: Sebastian Linteau, Peyton Kehler, Clayton Livingston, Drew Klein, Josh Thomas, Saadat Hammady, and Aidan Thomas. Jeremy Johnson and Maelle Depape qualified through to Round 2, Aleya Perron (first female runner of the competition!) made it through to Round 3, and Paisley Rudkowsky went all the way to Round 5 and qualified for NSC Finals at Life Force Ninja in Washington this March. An incredible showing across the board.
Then we hosted an official FINA Speed International Qualifier at Fitset Ninja Calgary. 48 athletes took on two fast, technical courses in a full day of high-speed racing. Massive shoutout to Coach Chris for designing both courses solo — his first-ever course design — and to NM Obstacle and Design for building some incredible new pieces our athletes got to test out. Congratulations to everyone who competed and to those who qualified for Speed Finals later this year!
And finally, the WNL Tier 1 Scramble at Life Force Ninja this past weekend — where Fitset showed up in a big way.
We’re so proud of Rory Raymond, Travis Cheuk, Hallie Gavin, Hazel Banadyga, and Riley Banadyga for representing us and giving it their all. Gold medals came home with Travis, Hallie, Riley, and Rory (who also earned Platinum across all five courses) - unreal scenes!
To all our athlete’s competing this month (and their support crew behind the caution tape) - whether you podiumed, qualified, hit a personal best, or stepped onto a new stage for the first time - we are super proud of you and we see the hard work and dedication you give this sport 💛
