This
review
is
long
overdue,
bear
with
me
as
I
profess
my
love
and
gratitude
to
this
amazing,
local
and
family
owned
institution.
First
let
me
explain
why
I
called
it
an
institution.
In
this
incredible
and
sometimes
ruthless
free
market
society
we
live
in,
opening
a
business
and
then
keeping
it
open
for
over
a
decade
is
an
accomplishment
in
itself.
Add
the
fact
that
this
is
a
gym,
and
the
fitness
industry
is
one
of
the
toughest
sectors,
they
were
hit
hard
during
this
pandemic,
and
yet
here
they
are
still
serving
their
community.
This
is
why
I
call
it
an
institution.
You
do
not
weather
storms
as
a
business
like
Bodyshop
has
simply
on
your
smarts
and
acumen,
its
deeper
than
that,
it
is
because
of
the
connections
they
made
with
their
clients,
the
lives
they
have
elevated
through
coaching,
it
is
because
of
the
community,
the
village
of
members
they
have
created.
I
know
it
is
not
clear
yet,
but
I
am
big
fan
of
these
four
walls
and
the
souls
that
pass
through
it
daily.
Fitness
is
a
pretty
big
part
of
my
life,
besides
the
obvious
physical
health
benefits,
it
mainly
helps
me
fight
my
inner
battles,
it
helps
me
keep
my
mind
healthy
and
my
eyes
focused
on
my
purpose.
So
when
I
moved
to
Kelowna
in
September,
finding
the
right
gym
was
on
top
of
the
list,
I
researched,
signed
up
for
classes,
tried
different
things,
but
from
day
1
Bodyshop
stood
out.
From
the
one
on
one
I
had
with
coach
Brad,
up
to
the
personal
training
sessions
I
took
prior
to
jumping
into
classes,
you
couldn't
help
but
feel
that
these
people
don't
just
care
about
what
they
do,
but
they
also
love
what
they
do
and
the
people
they
do
it
for
(and
I
am
not
easy
to
love,
just
ask
Big
Shot
when
you
join).
Finding
this
great
community
was
exactly
what
I
was
hoping
for
when
I
left
California
last
summer,
humans
from
all
walks
of
life,
fitness
levels,
ages
getting
together
doing
their
best
day
in
and
day
out
while
Brad,
Marely,
Nick,
Jess
and
Brad
(another
one!)
guide
us
through
this
beautiful
and
often
sweaty
process.
I
will
leave
you
with
this,
one
of
my
favorite
quotes:
"It
takes
many
hours
to
make
what
you
want
to
make.
The
hours
don't
suddenly
appear.
You
have
to
steal
them
from
comfort"
Derek
Sivers.
Bodyshop
is
the
perfect
spot
to
chip
away
at
your
comfort
zone
and
become
a
better
and
stronger
version
of
yourself.
Come
and
try
it
out
for
yourselves...
Carpe
Diem
folks!
