About Us - Lumareth Stormborn Fitness Academy

Where It All Started

Look, I'm not gonna feed you some perfect origin story. Truth is, I was a mess back in 2015. Fresh outta university, desk job killing my soul, and I'd gotten soft - like really soft. Hit rock bottom when I couldn't even do five proper pushups at my cousin's CrossFit box.

That embarrassment? It lit something up inside me. Started training obsessively - boxing gyms, powerlifting clubs, martial arts dojos, anywhere that'd let me through the door. Spent years just absorbing everything, learning from whoever would teach me.

By 2019, I'd transformed not just my body but my entire mindset. Friends kept asking me to train 'em, and honestly, watching people discover their own strength became more addictive than any workout I'd ever done.

The Journey to Lumareth Stormborn

Every warrior's path has its defining moments

2015

The Wake-Up Call

Hit my lowest point physically and mentally. Decided enough was enough - started training at every gym that'd take me. No plan, just pure determination to change.

2017

Finding My Style

Got my first coaching certifications - Olympic lifting, MMA basics, nutrition. Started blending everything I learned into something that actually worked. Friends became guinea pigs for my programs.

2020

Building the Dream

Pandemic hit, but it gave me time to plan. Saved every dollar from online training sessions. Drew up blueprints for a facility that'd combine everything I loved - combat, strength, community.

2022

Opening Day

Found the perfect spot on Granville Street. Lumareth Stormborn opened its doors with 12 founding members. Named it after a fantasy character that represented strength and resilience - yeah, I'm a nerd too.

2025

The Academy Today

We're 200+ members strong now. Expanded the space, brought on amazing coaches who share the vision. Every day I watch people transform just like I did - that's what keeps me going.

What We Actually Stand For

No BS Training

We don't chase trends or sell magic pills. You'll work hard here - like really hard - but every exercise has a purpose. Combat-inspired movements that actually translate to real strength and power.

Community Over Competition

Sure, we push each other, but nobody gets left behind. Your only competition is the person you were yesterday. We've got everyone from complete beginners to former athletes - everyone supports everyone.

Mind & Body Balance

Training's just one piece. We'll help you dial in your nutrition without making you miserable, work on mental toughness, and actually recover properly. You can't forge a warrior by just beating them down.

Results That Stick

We're not about quick fixes or 30-day transformations. This is about building sustainable strength and habits that'll last decades. Slow and steady might not be sexy, but it's what actually works.

My Promise to You

I've been where you might be right now - frustrated, intimidated, maybe even scared to start. Here's what I promise: we'll meet you exactly where you are.

You won't get judged for being a beginner or not knowing the difference between a clean and a snatch. You'll get coached, supported, and pushed at YOUR pace.

This isn't just a gym membership - it's joining a family of people who've all decided to become stronger versions of themselves. That's what Lumareth Stormborn is really about.
