Our Team
Our Story
Where Performance Meets Purpose
Look, we didn't start Nexor Continuum just to be another gym in Vancouver. We built this place because we were tired of seeing athletes plateau, tired of cookie-cutter programs, and honestly tired of facilities that didn't give a damn about actual results.
Back in 2019, our founder Marcus Chen was rehabbing from a torn ACL and couldn't find a single spot in the city that combined legit strength training with proper recovery protocols. Everything was either hardcore lifting with zero mobility work, or fancy boutique studios that were all show and no substance. So he did what any frustrated athlete would do - he gathered a crew of certified coaches who actually cared about the science behind performance, found this spot on Burrard, and we've been pushing limits ever since.
We're not gonna sell you some magical transformation story. Real progress takes work, dedication, and the right guidance. What we will promise is a team that's been in the trenches - our coaches have competed at national levels, worked with pro athletes, and yeah, we've all dealt with injuries and comebacks ourselves. That real-world experience matters when you're trying to break through your own barriers.
How We Got Here
2019 - The Beginning
Started with just 800 square feet and three coaches who believed training should be smarter, not just harder. Our first members were mostly word-of-mouth athletes who'd hit walls elsewhere.
2020 - Pivoting Through Chaos
When COVID hit, we didn't just shut down and wait. Built out virtual coaching programs, outdoor training sessions at local parks, and honestly learned a ton about adaptability that still shapes how we operate.
2021 - Expansion & Recovery Lab
Moved to our current 4,500 sq ft facility and added the recovery suite. Brought on two sports physiotherapists because we realized you can't just beat your body up without proper regeneration protocols.
2022 - Olympic Lifting Platform
Added dedicated Olympic weightlifting coaching after demand from our competitive athletes. Certified three more coaches through NCCP and started hosting monthly lifting meets.
2023 - Nutrition Integration
Partnered with registered dietitians because we kept seeing people train their asses off but fuel like garbage. Now nutrition planning is baked into most of our programs.
2024-Present - Community Growth
We've trained over 800 athletes, sent six members to national competitions, and built a community that actually shows up for each other. That's what we're most proud of, honestly.

We've seen too many people waste years doing ineffective training or getting hurt because they didn't have proper support.
