Ron Turner

Ron is a veteran coach and multisport athlete. Since the early 2010's Ron has been at the forefront of helping people get healthier using the CrossFit methodology. Every old school CrossFitter in Canada has stories of reaching Regionals in those early days and Ron is no different. Taking his love for competition and his natural skill at this new sport he helped create a powerful group of athletes.

Over the years his attention expanded to include Powerlifting, Olympic Lifting and Gymnastics and how teaching everyday gym goers these skills can change their lives. his specialty? Rope Climbs. "Getting someone to climb the rope for the first time almost physically changes them, their confidence and how they see themselves." says Ron.

Now with a young family and a highly competitive partner he has settled in Penticton coaching at the gym he always wanted to lead. "We traveled and vacationed here many times and always wished that we could make our home here, and 3 years ago we decided to make that happen."

Helping the people in Penticton like has has in Grande Prairie has been a great evolution to his career, and he really appreciates the connection to the environment at Beach City, often advocating members to get in the lake or run outside vs being inside all of the time. Member love his unique sense of humour and his very effective coaching techniques especially the complex Olympic barbell movements.
