I had worked out to some degree most of my life, but not until I joined Alchemy did I see a difference.
I didn’t have a set goal or a plan, I just showed up and got after it!
What keeps me coming back is the community, not only the coaches but the people who go to Alchemy are the best.
The greatest thing about Alchemy is that everything is modified for you. When I started I couldn’t do anything… But there was a way to get me to do everything. Thank you!

I had been at Alchemy for a little over a year when I realized that I might also focus on nutrition to support my goals. Working with their Coaches, I learned how to eat to fuel my workouts.
After around 7 months of making these changes and focussing on diet, I lost about 20 pounds. Better still, although my weight has been mostly steady in the 9 months since achieving my goal, I’ve continued to build muscle and have noticed more changes in my body.
If I can do this, anyone can. I tell people all the time about how I’m not an athlete, but through CrossFit I’ve found an activity I’m passionate about. The coaches at Alchemy are really helpful and supportive in helping you meet your goals.

I was terrified to walk through the door at Alchemy for the first time. I’d heard all the stories about CrossFit workouts – and I was pretty convinced that I didn’t have the skills needed to succeed. I learned within 5 minutes of walking into Alchemy just how wrong I was. What sets Alchemy apart from other gyms is the staff. The coaches are knowledgeable, professional and approachable – in addition to being extremely hands-on with members, working closely to ensure everyone is comfortable and working towards achieving their set goals. The only “intense” thing I’ve bared witness to since joining Alchemy is the passion that the coaches have for their jobs – and this has fostered a strong sense of community and support within Alchemy that you simply will never find at a big box gym.

When I rang that bell on my last day of treatment I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew it had to be somewhere different than where I had been.
I couldn’t run 200m without pain and being out of breath so I decided to push myself further and I started training for a 5k. Well tonight I just finished the Ancaster Mill Race (and under my goal of 30 minutes)
Fast forward 3.5 years post treatment and I am in the best shape that I have ever been in.
I owe much of this to Alchemy for constantly pushing me outside of my comfort zone (physically, mentally and socially)

The coaches are ALL so incredible. They are so knowledgeable, and VERY thorough. They are great at breaking things down into steps in order to ensure the entire motion is done correctly, and are sure to assist you further if you still need guidance. They are also great at providing ways to scale exercises in order to accommodate people with different limitations and skill sets. I highly recommend Alchemy to anyone, no matter your age, and current physical fitness level.
