To say that CrossFit has been a life changing experience for us would be an understatement. Shortly after joining their first CrossFit gym in Kelowna, Ross and Jodi realized that within the walls of a CrossFit gym was where they wanted to spend the rest of their lives.
After making the decision to open a CrossFit gym, the next question to answer was where to open. The pair settled on the beautiful and friendly town of Penticton, BC and began the process of making it possible.
Since opening the gym in May of 2013, Ross has continued his passion for learning and providing the best possible experience for his clients. He is a certified level 2 CrossFit trainer and also holds certifications in CrossFit Gymnastics and CrossFit Weightlifting.
Ross’ favorite parts of being a CrossFit gym owner and coach is helping people break through physical and mental barriers and witnessing the empowerment that these experiences provide. He also loves watching the support that the CrossFit Penticton community provides and seeing all the friendships that have been born out of his facility.

Janyce has been a CrossFit athlete since 2007, and a coach since 2017. Her favorite part of coaching is witnessing someone’s effort to be the best version of themselves for that hour. She really enjoys assisting clients to move safely yet is still mindful to ensure they are having fun. She loves that athletes walk through the doors each day to accomplish their goals and that Crossfit doesn’t have a ‘ceiling’ or a finish line.
Janyce has completed her Crossfit Level 1, Crossfit Kids and most recently Crossfit Level 2 certification. She absolutely loves coaching the last few minutes of a WOD. She finds that there is something unique that takes place mentally in an athlete in those final seconds. Being right next to them, yelling over the cranked tunes and helping them break through barriers is what she thrives on as a coach.

Born in Calgary AB and raised in Penticton BC, 32 year old Kadejha MacPhail has always had a passion for health and wellness. From school sports to working out in commercial gyms as a young adult, fitness has always been a constant in some shape or form.
In her spare time, you can find Kadejha at the box joining in on the classes, running, hiking & paddle boarding in the warmer months, and snowshoeing in the winter with her husband and two sons.
As a mom herself, Kadejha knew there was a gap in the local fitness space for moms of young ones. That’s why she got her CrossFit level one certification - so she could try and fill in that gap with the “Strong As A Mother” Class. She gets it, and she’s in the thick of it right along with the moms in the class.
Kadejha looks forward to seeing you in the box and helping you reach your health and fitness goals, whatever they may be!

Every day a new Workout is posted, called the Workout of the Day or WOD. Everyone who comes to class that day does a version of the same WOD, based on their fitness level and goals, and receives a score based on time of completion, reps accumulated, or total work output — this creates a camaraderie among the participants that is unlike any other gym experience. In fact, it is more akin to the feeling one gets when they belong to an organized sports team.
