About

What began as a boxing gym in 2004 under the name ‘Contenders Boxing Studio‘ expanded to be Contenders Athletic Club in 2023 – bringing the addition of squash & racquetball, and a cardio and weight centre.

Spearheaded by Kevin Reynolds a former professional boxer, Contenders built itself as a centre for community by running group classes and hosting regular events for our members to mingle. Kevin is as involved in the business as can be and teaches classes everyday, plays on our squash box league, and personal trains clients.

We cater to a wide variety of individuals including families, competitive athletes, a corporate crowd, retirees, and college students to name a few. Our expansive offerings include teams you can join for competition, technique based classes, specialized training camp classes geared to those looking for boot camp style workouts, and personal training options available 1 on 1 or for groups up to 25. 

Since the beginning, Contenders has actively been involved with charity and has many events with proceeds going to charity. In the past 2 years donations have been made to the BCSPCA, the Dugout Dropin and Unya Youth.
