In Part 2 of our conversation with Bruce Elwood, founder of Kelowna Gymnastix and Ninja Fitness Academy, we dive into the challenges, risks, and mindset that helped him navigate one of the most uncertain periods in modern business history. When Covid shut down programs and revenue disappeared, Bruce faced the reality of continuing to pay rent while watching years of hard work hang in the balance. But what looked like a crisis eventually became an unexpected opportunity, leading to expansion, new programs, and growth that few could have predicted. Bruce shares lessons on entrepreneurship, leadership, resilience, physical literacy, and why he believes too many people today are afraid to take on difficult challenges. He also reflects on the coaches who shaped his life, the importance of celebrating real achievement, and what success truly means after decades of impacting thousands of young athletes.
