July 2026 Personal Bests

It’s summer in Vancouver. The kids are out of school; the beaches are packed with visitors, and it is peak vacation season. Group class registration gets a little quieter; it gets harder to drag yourself to the gym when the sun is shining, and a lot of folks check out completely and shift into holiday mode.

But you didn’t. At least not if your name is one of those on our July Personal Best Board. While other people were taking it easy and wasting away again in Margaritaville, the following Empower athletes have been racking up fitness wins:

July’s personal best board was well populated for a lazy summer month when most folks are out-of-town. A pat on the back to everyone who resisted summer’s siren call and kept showing up.

Keep up the great work in August and watch your progress accelerate.
