Adam Phomin

Owner & Head Coach

Adam’s primary goal is to make people better, both physically & mentally, regardless of their current state of fitness or athletic ability.   After many years experience in the health and fitness industry, it became clear to Adam that our conventional modes of exercise poorly translate into better physical function in our daily lives, often lead to further imbalances and do not identify and improve our weaknesses.  When Adam found CrossFit in 2008 he knew it was the missing link in the fitness world.  His thirst for knowledge and desire to continuously improve his coaching lead him to complete the CrossFit Level 1 certificate (CF-L1, July 2011), Coach’s Prep Course (CF-L2, February 2013) and become the first Certified CrossFit Trainer (CCFT/CF-L3, October 2014) in Canada.  These certifications built upon his knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and biomechanics attained through a degree in Science & Kinesiology, which are essential to implementing a quality, evidence-based training program.

Adam inspires others with his “never-give-up” attitude and pursuit of excellence.  His passion for quality movement and relentlessness to help his community restore function and improve mobility are what make him an exceptional coach.
