This past weekend four of our members (also COMP Team members) competed in the first ever CrossFit Burnaby Confederation Cup.
Cam, Meagan, Kermit and Noah competed on a 4 person team tackling 4 different workouts. At the end of the day our team labeled MADLAB finished 9th overall.
All of these members competed in Nutts Cup last weekend, three of them were even on the same team, and Noah also competed in the CrossFit BC Summer event the day after Nutts with Jenna as a partner. Not that I condone 2 competitions in 8 days, let alone 3 in 8 days, but all of our athletes are learning lots via competition about themselves physically and mentally.
Results are not the only way to measure your ability as an athlete. The only thing I ask people after a competition is if they learned anything. If the answer is yes, than the results become less important in my eyes.
I am super happy with the progress these 4 have made over the last 6 months as well as everyone else who has started showing up regularly to the COMP Team training sessions. Strength numbers are climbing, gymnastics skills are growing and overall well being is on the rise.

Commercial 1
Synopsis/special note: . We want the real, authentic and believable. The ferocious, tenacious, weird and hardcore. Real people, not actors, who live and breathe this tough fitness lifestyle. It’s not unusual to see big, unruly beards or tats. They’re not cookie-cutter athletes. And they’re not all ultra alpha, muscle-bound machines. Some will surely be elite athletes and physical specimens. But others would appears as ordinary as your friend, colleague or neighbor, who would surprise you with their inner strength and intensity which comes out when they work out. Our athletes come from different and varied backgrounds, live different lives, but all share the same burning drive and desire to improve themselves. To be better humans.
Looking for Vancouver's elite CrossFitter's and all the technical aspects of the moves we’ll be asking them to do. The same goes for Spartan Racing, Yoga, Les Mills and tough running.
TIRE FLIPPER - Husband
Male - Any Ethnicity - Early 50s - OCP
Have a passion and joy for living. Their bodies and faces speak of a life that’s been lived, and with a lot more living to do. Pushing themselves, their bodies and their limits is what keeps them young in heart, mind and spirit. In the man (who we mainly focus on) there’s a real grit and toughness. He’s the type of guy who never shies from hard work or a challenge and has seen his share.
Please denote any CrossFit, Spartan Racing, Yoga, Les Mills, or any physical training your client is experienced with.

LES MILLS TRAINER
Female - Any Ethnicity - 30s - OCP
Athletic, confident and energetic. While she’s a badass in the studio, she’s also a single mom, who’s as passionate and playful with her kids as she is intense in her workouts. She should confidently be able to handle Les Mills combat, boxing and kicking moves. Watching her shouldn’t feel like watching a studio class. It should feel like a boxer in training.
Certified Les Mills trainers a plus! Please denote..
FIREFIGHTER
Male - Any Ethnicity - Late 20s-30s - OCP
Requires a powerful performance and range of emotions. We’ll see him struggling, straining and humbled during a tough night run. And then he’s able to find the inner strength and courage to lead his team to battle a raging fire. This is a man who knows intimately what it means to battle and conquer fear. Because he does it for a living. His eyes and face do all the talking.
Real firefighters a major plus! Please denote.
SQUATS/BARBELL MOM IN AQUATIC CENTER
Female - Any Ethnicity - 30s-40s - OCP
Another woman whose toughness and wild determination wouldn’t be readily apparent until she steps into a box. And while she’s a gritty and fearless CrossFitter, her toughness in the gym is only matched by her tireless compassion outside it. And the enthusiasm and support she gives to her wheelchair bound son as she cheers him on and helps him out of the pool.

YOGA MAN
Male - Hispanic - 20s-30s - OCP

But also a man who marches to the beat of his own drum. Who refuses to be defined by the color of his skin or the neighborhood he grew up in. His friends and neighbors don’t get it. And he doesn’t care. He’s setting an example for his little girl, who means more than the world.
Please denote Yoga experience.
WOMAN RUNNER ON HILL
Female - Any Ethnicity - 20s - OCP

FEMALE DANCER
Female - Any Ethnicity - 20s-30s - OCP

POLE MAN
Male - Any Ethnicity - 20s-30s - OCP
Equal parts wild man and hardcore fitness freak. He’s a man capable of seemingly inhuman acts of strength. Like hanging sideways on a street pole.
