Description
Ever wondered how a cycling studio tucked inside a Trek store could spin into a full-fledged community hub? In our latest episode, we ride alongside Barry Near on an inspirational journey through the co-creation of the T Train community. From humble beginnings as a wintertime gym to a vibrant nucleus of activity, we uncover the magnetic pull of community spaces and the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the wheels turning, even through economic headwinds like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Get ready to gear up with stories of resilience and adaptation in the cityscape of Toronto. Barry and I share the inside track on the hurdles and triumphs of keeping community fitness alive in pricey urban settings. Discover the creative ways to sustain passion-led projects, the heartwarming results of fitness communities crossing paths, and the unshakable support systems formed during the most testing of times. This episode is a testament to the power of partnerships and the enduring bond between people with shared passions.
As we coast to the end, we reflect on the broader impact cycling has on personal transformation and the unexpected journeys life presentsโlike transitioning from the ski industry into a fulfilling chapter with Trek.ย
