Big Dawgs
What is a Big Dawg?
I'm not entirely sure where the name came from, but a name matters not. What does matter is what we, the Big Dawgs represent - a constant search for answers to higher levels of fitness and all that it pertains to. Big Dawgs have come and gone, they come in, learn, move on and are better for it; some have come and have never left - we help one another grow through removing the personal limitations; not strong enough, not enough stamina, not belonging to a community, no reason behind the prescription.
We have high level fitness enthusiasts who strive to be better at a lot of things, not just one. We have high level thinkers who understand the connection between the body and mind. We have respect for all ideas around fitness and truly allow an area for open mindedness. We welcome all; but be prepared for discomfort, mental and physical - this allows forward momentum.

A shout out to OPT clients Nancy Farries and Kathryn Waslen who had great showings last weekend. Nancy completed the Zane Grey 50 miler, being one of only 75% of the starters that finished (a long year and a great finish) and Kathryn who set a PB with a 38:30 10K in the Vancouver Sun Run. Nice job gals!
