Happy 14th Birthday 306!
Happy 14th Birthday 306!!
It’s hard to believe that it has been 14 years since we opened the gym. When I look back at the picture of our family in 2011, it sure does highlight how much time has actually passed. We were a young family, and we wanted something different for our lives. We wanted to share our passion for health, wellness and community. We wanted to be close to family as we raised our children, and we didn’t want to have the headaches of “big city” life. So, we bet on ourselves, moved to Saskatoon, and spent our entire life savings to open our little gym, CrossFit 306.
Just say YES!!

I have been a part of the fitness industry for a long time now. We have had thousands of people walk through our doors over the years. There is usually a common theme – someone comes in because they want to get fitter, they used to be in better shape, life has been so busy, I have school, kids, work life…you get the picture.
Nutrition Challenge
As the sun begins to make its humble reintroduction into our lives, we are met with the exciting knowledge that the summer months are within reach. And though this is a generally positive thing, we can also be faced with anxiety regarding the state of our wellness after the inevitable winter neglect. Because the summer is so short, it is natural to want to feel our best on the inside and out, and that’s precisely what our nutrition challenge is intended to help us do. By removing the dirty work for you, all you have to do is follow a specially designed plan to help you reach your goals, all while getting coaching calls and check-ins to ensure that you remain on track. The short time we get to enjoy the summer months should be spent feeling our best to be capable and energized to get the most out of the weather and the beautiful outdoors. Sign up today and notice the difference in your confidence, mood, and overall fitness levels.
One More Rep!
Come for the Fitness, Stay for the Fun
It is seemingly inevitable that upon reaching adulthood, everything has to become a conscious choice, with the novelty and pleasure mostly removed. Instead of getting our daily dose of exercise by playing tag with friends or climbing trees, exercise becomes another chore that we know must be done to maintain proper health. Still, it loses the element of fun that caters to our innate desire to move. At Crossfit 306, our goal is to combat this problem, as we want to breathe new life into the adult fitness practice. Though there aren’t many people who come to us purely seeking a “good time,” more often than not, that ends up being the result: “Come for the fitness, stay for the fun”. By creating an environment that focuses on community, the gym becomes a place to socialize and partake in an hour of fitness with our friends. This may result in friendly competition taking your mind off the mindnuming amount of burpees ahead of you, or just a supportive environment that encourages you to do your best. The constantly varied programming also means a sense of novelty when we train, a rarity when we fall deeply into our regular routines and habits. In all, we know we have to exercise, and it may not always be the most appealing thing, but we can do our best to make it fun and perhaps see a bit of that childlike spark when you climb a rope next to your friend, not as good as a tree but a close second.
The Crossfit Open
t’s that time of year again; the Crossfit Open. Though most of us aren’t looking to qualify for the games or finish top of the leaderboard, the Open can be a good opportunity to create benchmarks for yourself and understand where you are in your personal CrossFit practice. As you continue to participate in the Open, you accumulate data that reflects where you are now and how that relates to your performance in previous years...
Get Outside!
As we are now within the depths of the coldest time of year, it is hard not to want to hibernate and remain indoors until it no longer requires 20 minutes of adding layers to step outside, even briefly. And though the thought of spending time outside right now is not appealing, actually doing it is far better than we anticipate, as there are many real science-backed benefits to doing so…
Consistency is key
We are officially 2 weeks into the New Year. You might find that your rather ambitious attempts at completely turning your life around might be starting to wear off. The New Year is a great time to set big goals, but if you go into it with too much pressure and expectations, you risk burnout and quitting all together.
So, what I find works best is consistency over time. It is the small actions and habits that will add up to the big results that you are looking for. So, instead of saying that you are going to come to the gym 6
Consistency Challenge 2025
January is traditionally the time where we re-set and set our goals for the year. Did you know that improving fitness ranks as a top goal for North Americans at 48% saying it’s a top priority and another 36% say that mental health tops the list. There are 55% of people that see both physical and mental health as equally important. Fun fact - CrossFit ticks both those boxes!
Holiday Season Wellness
The holiday season is approaching quickly, and with it, the influx of New Year goals, resolutions, and the concept of a “winter arc”. The concept is that one should overindulge in the month of December and then turn it all around in the new year so that one enters spring/summer as an “unrecognizable” version of yourself….
2024 Members of the year
Last night at our annual Christmas party, we continued our tradition of acknowledging two athletes. These members have demonstrated qualities of leadership, selflessness, and community engagement and have embodied our motto of “Community Above Else” with their actions. Last night’s winners were Claudia Weber-Marx and Elliott Procyshen. Please read below the speeches that were made in their honour.

How The People We Surround Ourselves With Affects Our Wellness
Often, a main priority when it comes to personal wellness lies within the physical realm of our being. We consider how we can take care of our physical bodies - the way eating a piece of cake will affect our body and nutrient requirements, the way drinking enough water will help to keep our brain functioning at an optimal level while aiding with healthy digestion, or the way exercise helps to maintain muscle mass as we age allowing us to have the vessel that will carry us to live a happy life. And though we know far more intricacies are involved in our wellness, some areas tend to be forgotten. We often fail to acknowledge the significance of people and relationships…
Chalk & Awe - Medals, Provincial Records, and 6 for 6 performances
October 5, 2024
On October 5, the 306 Weightlifting Club and 306 High Performance Teens hoisted some big weights at St. Mother Teresa School for the 2nd annual Chalk & Awe competition. 15 athletes from 306 took the platform for the first meet of the season, where the team produced a lot of hardware, provincial records, and 6 for 6 wrist bands. The competition had over 60 athletes from all over Saskatchewan and few from Manitoba…
