The story
A former semi-pro BMX rider who came back from a shattered heel and a broken leg, training with the same coach for six years.
I never gave up because a setback is not a sit-back, it's a build-back for the comeback. The community here is great. Everyone helps each other.

The story
Michael joined West Edmonton before the doors opened and trains on a Premium membership.
Edmonton's been crying for a place like this. The machines here are second to none, and the red light therapy has been a go-to for me.
