Underground Fitness, Cranbrook
Amplify East Kootenay is shining a spotlight on local businesses.
Today, we look at Underground Fitness in Cranbrook.
Why have our listeners nominated this business? – “This is the best run gym I have been to, and I have been to a lot. The coach/owner, Jesse Ewasiuk, is an incredible coach and takes care of every individual like they are family. It’s amazing how he encourages people to be better – this is his real talent! I see new people join and he takes them under his wing, encourages them and before you know it, they are doing what they thought was impossible! This could be the poster-child of gyms which give more to people than just fitness.”
How do listeners feel this business has amplified the community? – “Through improving how people feel about themselves, you empower them. By empowering people that can go into the community and do well in their jobs and day-to-day interactions, as well as take on new challenges because they feel confident, well it just has so many positive spin-offs. Furthermore, Jesse has built his own community within our community, where everyone at the gym supports one another. It’s really amazing to see!”
Underground Fitness in Cranbrook prides itself on helping the community stay in shape.
Owner Jesse Ewasiuk says its important for staff to get to know their clients personally, while learning about them to help with reach and celebrate their goals.
“We kind of lift each other up and celebrate each other’s wins,” Ewasiuk says. “It goes beyond the gym. If somebody got a new job, we’ll celebrate that. I think the sense of community that we bring into the equation really sets our gym apart.”
Ewasiuk says Underground Fitness staff try to make sure their clients best hours of the day are spent at the gym, having fun while working towards their health and fitness goals.
“We really pride ourselves on providing the best hour of the day,” says Ewasiuk. “We run group classes, so they come in for an hour. Clients come in and they can feel tired or stressed out about life, and we try to do everything we can to make them enjoy their hour. Typically when a client comes in that way, they can leave feeling energized.”
