5 years ago today I lost something I loved. 
It led me to something better. 
 
5yrs ago today, after being locked out for over a year, I got officially evicted from my gym. No warning & no “Plan B”. Just another casualty of a global pandemic and a chapter of my life that closed overnight. 
 
That old gym was a humble little space but it was everything to me. 900 sq ft hidden away in the back of an old hockey rink. No frills. Just iron, sweat, & an obsessive commitment to the work…and yet, somehow, in that tiny room something legendary was built. In 2009 I opened that little gym while I restarted my business & in many ways also my life. Over the years hundreds of elite professional athletes came through that space not because of how it looked, but because of what happened inside it. The workouts were legendary and although the aesthetics were rough the vibe was immaculate.  It’s also where @biosteelsports was launched, built from nothing into a household name right there between the squat racks. 
 
I’d be lying if I said losing it didn’t hurt. That gym was my second home (& in the early days sometimes my first one). I spent countless hours there. But sometimes the universe forces one door shut because you never would have walked through a new one on your own.  
 
That disruption pushed me to find my new space & launch @paragenixsystems & I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built. A real system with a real team reflecting 3 decades at the highest level of this game. The new space & team have allowed us to finally operate at the scale this work has always deserved and our program offerings have taken off in ways never possible in that 900ft² room. 
 
Adversity rarely looks like an opportunity in the moment but it almost always is… IF you choose for it to be so. 
 
For a long time I looked back through a painful lens but now I look back only with gratitude & pride.  
 
Thank you to everyone who was part of the first chapter & a special thank you to our amazing Paragenix Team writing the new one every day - especially @mike_carneiro74 & @toronto_pete 
Day 1 crew still going strong 17yrs later 👊🏻
