Don't feel like training today? Neither did half the class (including your coaches).

Here’s the thing we’ve noticed after years of coaching (and exercising): the days you least want to show up are usually the ones that matter most. Not because of the workout itself, but because of what showing up says about who you’re becoming. Putting in the work, even when it isn’t fun, gets you one step closer to seeing yourself as a person who takes action, a person that keeps moving forward and can do hard things.

You don’t have to love it. You just have to come. We’ll handle the rest once you’re here.

See you in class.

Nervous about walking into a gym like ours? Good! That means you care. Here’s what actually happens in your first week (swipe). Spoiler: nobody’s watching you but the coach, everything scales, and by Friday someone knows your name. That last part is the whole point. 📍 Edmonton · Free No Sweat Intro in the bio.

Some of the best parts of this community don't happen mid-workout. They happen after, when everyone's catching their breath together, taking in what they just collectively accomplished...and if you are lucky, coffee in hand, talking.

That's the whole idea behind the Black Tusk Brew Crew.
Sunday, June 14. We meet at 10 AM at The Colombian Coffee Bar & Roastery in Glenora, head out for a group run or walk (your pace, your distance, nobody gets dropped), and finish with a coffee.

No pace goals. No pressure. Don't know where to run? Need a little accountability to get started? No reason to lace up your shoes on a Sunday morning but you like the idea of a coffee waiting for you at the end? WE'VE GOT YOU! Just our people, a bit of movement, and any coffee your heart desires to wrap it up - your registration covers it all.

This one's open to everyone, so if you know someone who's been curious about Black Tusk, this is the easy way to show them what our community is all about! Spots are limited. Registration link in our bio.

See you Sunday.

Half the people who want to join a gym never do because they’re waiting until they’re “ready”...fitter...stronger...less nervous. Here’s the secret nobody tells you: nobody in that room started ready. They started nervous, scaled the workout, and let the fitness catch up. Ask Nate! He's happy he joined 😜

Our very own coach Ryley finished her first full marathon this past weekend! It’s incredibly commendable for someone who has never considered themselves a “runner” to accomplish such an amazing feat. Completing a marathon takes dedication, perseverance, grit, and resilience, both mentally and physically.

We are so proud of you, Ryley! Congratulations on your first ever marathon, and sorry that Keller ate your original shoes two days before the race 😬. 🏃‍♂️👏
