2025 has been the hardest year of my life. I was doing all the things working full-time as an HR leader, completing my post-grad in executive coaching, and building two businesses. Then life shifted fast. My dad got sick. I became a caregiver, constantly traveling, never really home. I lost my job. I lost my dad. Grief has been heavy, and just days ago my body forced me into urgent care. This season has been slow, painful, and isolating. Ended up in urgent last Friday! But here’s the part I didn’t expect… Building my Skool community for 🇨🇦Canadian women in business has given me purpose. We’re 14 women right now and honestly? It feels like I’m gaining about one member a day. I’m showing up on all the social platforms, sharing the vision, and trusting the process. It’s not fast. It’s not viral. But it’s real. And in this season, real connection matters more than numbers. Every new woman feels like confirmation that I’m rebuilding something meaningful one conversation at a time. I’m so grateful I found Skool when I needed community the most. Have you ever built something slowly and had to remind yourself it still counts? What’s helping you stay consistent when growth feels quiet?

Back when I’m back. Take care of The Skool Hub. I Love you all❤️

Back in 2017, I had zero experience owning a gym, zero ninja warrior background, and zero clue how to run a business like this. I was a regular guy who loved the idea of a ninja gym – the energy, the obstacles, the community vibe – but I had no roadmap, no investors, no fancy business plan just a supportive wife and a few friends. I could have waited for the “perfect” moment: perfect location, perfect equipment, perfect marketing plan, perfect everything. Instead I did the only thing that actually moves the needle: I just started. We signed the lease on a small warehouse space, bought used equipment off Facebook Marketplace, built obstacles and remolded for a few months. Lots of looooong days and nights! Ninja Hub opened on May 1, 2018 & the official grand opening took place on June 9, 2018, where American Ninja Warrior all-star Grant McCartney (The Island Ninja) and international musician Aaron Boyd put on a meaningful, heartfelt, and action-packed evening of FUN for the community. At the end of 2019, Ninja Hub expanded by adding on 2,000 square feet of obstacle-packed gym space, taking the total size of Ninja Hub from 5,400 to 7,400 square feet. The excitement of a new year with brand new structures & obstacles came to a screeching halt in March 2020, when the world stopped & Ninja Hub was forced to close for nearly 3 months. The future of Ninja Hub was unknown, as we didn’t know if it could survive the year with the lack of activity & support. Once the gym reopened, the rest of 2020 was depressingly slow, as so many people were still afraid to visit a gym. The decision was made on January 2, 2021, that if things didn’t pick up within the next 30 days, Ninja Hub would close forever. Apparently God had other plans because January 2021 ended up being one of Ninja Hub’s busiest months to date. There was no doubt that Ninja Hub had a purpose & would go on! There have been hills & valleys, challenges & struggles, but there’s no question that Ninja Hub has made its mark on the community.

Bots, advertisements without being premium, spammers and other reasons have led us to question whether we should get rid of the premium tier and just have one paid tier to get in plus our VIP tier… this would stop the bots and stop people advertising without upgrading but would drastically slow growth (we think)…👀 of course none of you lot need to worry at all as you’re all safe and locked in at the prices you pay.❤️ What are your guys honest opinions on this? We need advice!🙌
