Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
Dear November Project Vancouver Community,
As we stride into a new year, I reflect on my immense gratitude for our vibrant and inspiring community. Each step, each cheer, and each shared moment has woven together an incredible quilt of support, motivation, and camaraderie that has truly shaped my life.
I wanted to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Dave Kerr – the man, the myth, the legend! Seriously, this guy has been rocking it as a community co-lead at November Project Vancouver, and his passion for cycling in Gran Fondos is just next level. Like he’s only done it about a dozen times…. MIND BLOWN.
Where do I begin?
Most of my experience with NP has been during the global wave of Covid. Celebrating events and holidays within fitness communities, especially amidst the pandemic, often meant finding creative ways to stay connected and spread joy. For us in Vancouver, along with the plethora of fitness groups that abound, it involved virtual holiday-themed workouts, where participants dressed up festively, shared holiday wishes, and did workouts together over video calls. It was so important, but so much could be felt missing. Physical presence does so much and we miss it.
Community. Challenging Ourselves. Chill-Willy Experiences.
Cold dipping, often done through activities like cold showers, ice baths, or swimming in cold water, has gained popularity due to its potential health benefits. People use cold dipping for various reasons: clout, zen, friendship, coffee?

We gather round this winter morning to find a giant gift box and inside this beautifully decorated box is our new co-lead Kim! 
All together we decorated our favorite tree, sang a Carolling workout and had a jolly great time! 
Kim Chi
You may not like it, but this is what peak “go-hard-idiot-gene” performance looks like. Known to be a lover of random wilderness adventures and favouring inconvenient challenges, such as wearing a thick bear costume during a race in 25°C / 77°F heat, Kim is always down to clown.

A blend of emotions—gratitude, nostalgia, and a tinge of sadness. Many memories of the screaming roar of the Big Dill. Many burpees are being ordered out! And a fierce energy that leaves us wanting more. Verner Von Lofstrand is remarkable; his influence has left an indelible mark on our community.
