  • Analyze The Risk Then Proceed Forward

    This week on the 2nd Floor, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jon Cheung, Founder and CEO of Evolve Strength, a fast-growing chain of gyms based in Edmonton, Alberta. Jon first opened Evolve in 2015, after completing his career as a strength and conditioning coach where he spent some time with both the Edmonton Eskimos and the Edmonton Police Service Recruits.

    In this episode, we discuss many topics, but the one that stands is the risk he undertook to open his first gym. Without that decision, Evolve probably doesn't exist today. Tune in to this week's episode to learn about Jon and his story.

  • How To Develop Your Coaching Role For Combat Athletes
    Welcome to our Coach's Corner series of season 3! Coach's Corner brings on coaches from different backgrounds in any athletic capacity . We share their journey and tips on what it takes to win behind the scenes, and how to survive and thrive along the way from the coaches perspective. Ringing in our 3rd year anniversary on the show, we bring on our best friend, training partner and Coach Daniel Zahr back on the show to talk about the development and evolution of his coaching career as KB Bhullar's right hand man in his corner. We shared our experience cornering KB (my brother) for his UFC debut. We talked about the earned trust and shift in direction of KB's private practises that Danny started to take the lead on. We end off with some personal insight on what we look for in a corner from my personal experience in jiujitsu competitions as well as some tips on how to train effectively with the Matt time you have as a jiujitsu/martial artist practitioner and/or competition.

  • How Experience Alone Will Get You and Your Business in the Best Shape Possible
    Chelsea Glasow has been a makeup artist and lash technician for the last 6 years in the Edmonton area. She went to university to study arts for one year and realized at the age of 19 years old that the only way she’s going to learn to succeed and love what she does is through getting hands on experience. Chelsea has been obsessed with makeup since she was a little girl; she’s grateful to be able to express her passion through her entire career.    “I love how the smallest enhancements like brow lamination or lash extensions can result in the biggest, brightest expression on my clients’ faces. Seeing a woman feel beautiful and confident not only on the outside, but on the inside is why I love my job so much.    My goal is to ensure that everyone who walks through my studio’s doors feels more confident leaving then arriving, and has been reminded that their unique allure is the most beautiful thing about them.”   Chelsea has recently purchased her first new home investment, is busy running her two businesses Allure and Nordeste (self tanning lotion), and takes amazing care of her dog Frank while preparing for her first bodybuilding competition in late October!
