After a severe injury crushed her dream of snowboarding with the Canadian Olympic team, Charmaine Ironside founded Ironside Fitness Inc. in 2011 to help others achieve their fitness goals. In 2014, Charmaine opened the doors to her first fitness studio in Silver Springs, Calgary.

Six years later, she has had to close the gym, her passion project, for good amid the pandemic.
