Runev Ex Continuum Team
OUR STORY

Where Passion Meets Performance

Look, we're not your typical gym where someone just hands you a workout plan and walks away. This place started 'cause I got tired of seeing athletes plateau, people getting hurt from bad coaching, and folks paying for programs that didn't actually work.

Back in 2018, I was coaching at a big box gym in Vancouver and honestly? It sucked watching members struggle without proper guidance. So I left, pulled together some of the best coaches I knew, and we built something different here at Runev Ex Continuum.

We're all about real results - not Instagram BS or fad diets. Just solid programming, hands-on coaching, and a community that'll push you when you need it and catch you when you're struggling. Every single one of our trainers has competed at serious levels, dealt with injuries, come back stronger, and learned what actually works in the trenches.

What We Stand For

No ego lifting - technique comes first, always

Progressive overload that respects your body's limits

Recovery's just as important as the work itself

Community over competition (unless it's competition day)
