F1 companies put the best grade of fuel into their cars because they need their engine to perform at peak performance. I would be hard pressed to imagine Mercedes or Red Bull wanting to cut a corner to put in a lower quality of fuel in their car. As well as I think everyone would agree that putting the best fuel in the car is the best choice

So now the question is: why do we put such low quality, cheap and low performing fuel into our own body

If we truly are committed to wanting to have a peak performance, then our focus shouldn’t be just on our effort in the gym but extends to what we fuel it. Are we choosing the healthier options available at the grocery store, or are we consistently choosing the fast option from the yellow arches

There is a saying “you are what you ate yesterday”. If you are consistently cutting your body off from the high end fuel it requires, how can we expect it to perform

Everyone is motivated. Everyone has a desire to be great at something, to complete an objective and excel.

However, the difference between those who are ok, good, great and amazing is their devotion to their habit.

It’s about 21 days to turn a motivation into a habit. A habit is a long lasting desire to keep a dream alive. What’s the biggest change from motivation to habit? Effort, attitude and focus (our 3 and only 3 true controllables in life)

We are always thankful for the many individuals and people that work with, for and represent us. We believe that this is our biggest strength to how we serve our athletes

Our head strength coach .m.mackinnon has been nothing short of phenomenal since his arrival in the summer of 2021.

He has always come to the gym with positive attitude that brings life to the gym and always has looked to bring the most of every athlete & individual that stepped into the HPTC

Just as he asked for the best of each person, he also held himself to that standard. Always wanting to be the best and provide the best coaching

Mark finished up his last week with us yesterday and while we are excited to hear about his new role back home with (and will no doubly crush it); it will still be sad to see him leave

Thank you Mark for all of the hard work, many hours and devotion you gave representing the brand CanWest Sport Science & Performance Centre. We wish you all the best with your future endeavours and know everyone here will miss you

If you want success, there is a cost to that. If you want to win a championship, you have to sell out for that dig. To win a series, you need to block that shot. To pull off that upset, you need to dive for that ball

Same can be said for our fitness and health goals. To reach your full potential there is a price to pay and that looks different for each person

It maybe be choosing to stop drinking sugary drinks to improve a diet

It may be choosing to not stay up late every night to ensure your body recovers

It may be not going out with friends because you have to train the next day

However THIS IS THE PRICE WE PAY TO HAVE SUCCESS and believe it; IT IS WORTH IT
