PREP
Over the next few months we will keep lifting often in class and in addition some extra Oly lifting classes to be announced soon!

Proof that fitness can be fun. Thank you to our members and coaches for making more than just a place to work out, we could not be more grateful.

Join us for a summer bash to celebrate another year of sweat, gains, and unbeatable community vibes! 🎉

Our GYMNASTICS PROGRESSIONS workshops starts this Saturday at 10am ! 🤸‍♀️

Come learn progressions for the gymnastics movements we practice regularly. Toes to bar, pull ups, handstands, muscle ups... Sometimes in class we default to the same scales or modifications or focus on task completion. ⏰

This is the time to focus on some progressions that challenge you but allow you to develop these skills over time. If you "have" these skills, it's time to work towards virtuosity... Doing the common uncommonly well. 🙌

Broken up into 4 sessions:

-BUILDING THE BASE, August 3rd.
-PULLING POWER, August 24th
-UPSIDE DOWN WORLD, September 14
-ADVANCED ACROBATICS, September 28

Free for members, $25 for drop ins.

This Saturday we honor a local Canadian and BC hero, Devyn Gale. 🙏

This young girl, 19, tragically lost her life while fighting wildfires outside of Revelstoke, BC. She was going to school for nursing while serving for the BC Wildfire Service. Saturday July 13 will be one year from her passing.

Bring a backpack on Saturday and add a weight (50 #/35 #) to do this one as prescribed for Devyn Gale. 👊

AMRAP 30
20 box step ups with backpack
23 burpees over backpack
19 air squats

Who's in?

Put your fitness to the test outside of the gym! Put down the barbell and see how you stack up against unknown obstacles. Last year this event was cancelled due to the wildfires, free entry this year if you were signed up last year. If you sign up and join the Community Athletics team you'll get a free CA shirt to represent on race day!

4-WEEK NUTRITION CHALLENGE 🍔🍎

It's time to bring back focus on the base of the pyramid! To support our goals whether it be weight based or performance based it should always start with a discussion on nutrition. These can be challenging and require a good level of dedication and preparation. 🤝

We have made this challenge very accesible and easy to track! Also there will be wicked prizes! It's about developing easy habits that we can always fall back on. A baseline that is optimal instead of mediocre without requiring a scale and a math degree. 🤓

Just remember, you will be better for it, and you will thank yourself for commiting! 💪

This start this Saturday, June 8th. Meet at 8am at CA. Sign up on Mindbody.

It’s official, the numbers are in and the gifts have been purchased, wrapped and dropped off! This was a record year for donations, $3200 collectively raised by all of you amazing humans! We were able to buy gifts for all four of our families! The family from the Ukraine got their winter coats, the kids will get winter boots! The two single mom families we got matched with both asked for a pillow only, and then we were able to give them both a mall gift certificate on top of that plus each family is also provided grocery gift cards to help with Christmas dinner! It’s incredible to see when we all come together as a group, how we are able to give back to people who need it most, and that’s who we want to be at Community Athletics!

On top of sponsoring our four families, we have also been able to donate the remaining $550 to the Central Okanagan Food Bank! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for making this time of year so special for these families ❤️🎄

(Special shout out to Kelsey’s mom who single handedly wrapped every one of these gifts 👏🏼)

The 2023 Christmas Party was a huge success! Thanks to Mark and Carrie for hosting, and a huge thank you to all of our CA family for making this year so great.
