13 years ago, Wade Miller and I came up with the model for a "performance center"...a new concept at the time.

There was nothing to model after, no recipe for success...only a passion shared by the both of us... 

We settled into a little building on Ness, close to the stadium (for convenience at the time) and soon this little box had athletes doing things that Winnipeg had never before seen...

Over the last decade of changing the fitness/performance landscape of Winnipeg (truly immitation is the most sincere form of flattery...thanks to so many of you), and being part of some of the biggest athetic events in North America....we reflect on our humble beginnings and what has allowed ELITE NATION to grow to such a size...it has been YOU...the athlete and.your dedication, sacrifice and trust in our programming that has created a true home of champions...on and off the field, ice and turf.

I couldn't be more proud of what you have achieved and what you have so graciously allowed me to be a part of...

It all started as a vision and now is now truly a dream.

Thank you to all of you in "ELITE NATION" and I wish all of you only the very best in 2010,

Your pal,
