Families Who Play Together, Stay Together

The FirePower Family is Strong!!

Family values are at the core of our business…from the Savard family, to the Arnold family, to our FirePower family.  It infiltrates every decision we make about business including class times, who teaches when, and who we attract as members.

You may not realize but the idea of “FirePower” came from George’s and my desire to simply A) have a place to workout together; and B) have an environment our twins (6 months old at the time) could grow up knowing family time, health, and hard work.  FirePower Boxing was born from a hobby we loved and wanted to share with our community using a small 10ft wide room inside a high school, and then grew into the FirePower Training facility and culture you know today.

Families Who Play Together, Stay Together

This has been our business motto from Day 1.  We strongly encourage other families to join us!  Very few sports allow families to sweat it out side by side in a class together, encouraging each other, making fun of each other, getting fit together. Husbands/wives, sisters/brothers, mothers/daughters, fathers/sons, etc.  New to us this year is our Super Kids program, taught by CrossFit parents, and finally allowing young children to play too.  This fall, we’ll be continuing with our after school program again.

Here’s a list of SOME of our FirePower Families who play with us:

  • Chris & Tracy Hummel
  • Scott & Jordan Kerr
  • Jeff, Dan, Michelle, Andrea, Alyssa, Alisha Ramlogan
  • Carmen, George, Vicky, Alex, Adam Schembri
  • Grant & Chris Fowler
  • Kim/Randy Smith + 3
  • Mellyssa DaSilva, Jason Enriquez, Maria DaSilva
  • Doug & Joel Herder
  • Brad & Andrea Maguire
  • Zena & Steve Reynolds
  • Trish, Chris, Connor Lamont
  • Jason & Tammy Vallaire
  • and more!

Family time is the sole reason FirePower doesn’t currently have Sunday classes. We’ve been protective of our need for recharging our family after a busy week.  Thankfully as our FirePower family grows with volunteers, this will soon change and we can offer Sunday workout times.

Starting in August, look for bi-monthly FirePower Family Days on Sunday afternoons.  Just like Family Day in February, we will have family-friendly WODs, kids CrossFit area while parents workout, BBQ, music, and laughter.  The way a Sunday should be!

Thanks FirePower Family for letting us be part of your family.
