Before Ownership

Long-Time Members & Coaches

Long before taking ownership, Nick and Marina were proud members, coaches, supporters, and advocates of 318 Fitness. The gym played an important role in their coaching journey and became home to many athletes, friendships, and memories.

Honouring Mat Brown

A Legacy Built Before Us

318 Fitness was built by former owner Mat Brown, whose passion, hard work, and belief in the local fitness community helped shape the gym into what it became.

Mat created more than just a training space. He helped build a gym culture where people could push themselves, support one another, and feel part of something bigger.

His contribution will always be part of the 318 Fitness story, and Nick and Marina are proud to continue building on the foundation he created.
