Our Story

Where grit meets community and every rep counts

How We Got Started

Back in 2019, I was running bootcamps out of a parking lot in East Van. Yeah, seriously - we'd meet at 5:30 AM, rain or shine, and just get after it. No fancy equipment, no Instagram-worthy mirrors, just people who wanted to get stronger and weren't afraid to work for it.

The name "Ignarion Hollow" came from this old trail where I used to train for obstacle races. There was this hollow in the forest - kinda dark, kinda intense - where I'd push myself harder than anywhere else. That feeling of digging deep when nobody's watching? That's what we're all about.

Fast forward to now, we've got our own facility on Burrard Street, but the vibe hasn't changed. We're still that same crew that doesn't care about looking pretty - we care about results, about showing up, about being real with each other.

What We Stand For

These aren't just words on a wall - they're what we live by every single day.

Show Up & Get After It

Half the battle is just showing up. The other half? Leaving it all on the floor. We don't do half-reps or excuses here.

Community Over Everything

You're not just joining a gym - you're joining a crew. We push each other, celebrate wins together, and nobody trains alone.

Progress, Not Perfection

We're all works in progress. What matters is that you're better today than you were yesterday. That's the real win.

Real Talk, Real Results

No gimmicks, no BS. Just honest coaching, solid programming, and people who actually care about your goals.

Embrace the Grind

Yeah, it's gonna be tough sometimes. That's the point. The best version of yourself is on the other side of uncomfortable.

Leave Your Ego at the Door

Doesn't matter if you're lifting heavy or modifying - we're all here to get better. Check your ego, bring your effort.
