Having a place to go outside of work and home where you feel like you belong is crucial to our well-being. And for a lot of people, that place is the gym.

That’s where Coast Mountain CrossFit comes in. What’s special about this gym is the quality of coaching plus the community it’s created, which includes our very own Denzil.

In this episode, Denzil is talking to two people she knows very well — the owners of Coast Mountain CrossFit, Austin Evans and Erin Joyce to talk about their fascinating story in community building and business growth.

Guest bio

Austin Evans discovered CrossFit at the age of 14, blending it into his sports-centered life, which at the time included junior hockey, snowboarding, football, and soccer (just to name a few!). His passion led him to coaching, and eventually, opening Coast Mountain Crossfit, a gym located North Vancouver. He thrives on inspiring his clients to surpass their fitness goals through the space and community he's built.

Erin Joyce began her athletic journey early with gymnastics and cheerleading, eventually representing Australia on the world stage. At 14, she started coaching gymnastics, sharing her love for training and helping others succeed. This set the stage for her to become a CrossFit coach a few years later, continuing in a new space with the same passion. Within her work and the world of CrossFit, Erin values the supportive community and pursuit of staying healthy and fit. Erin has been a CrossFit coach for eight years and co-owns Coast Mountain with Austin.
