Our Story

Founded by Vancouver, BC natives Ryan Reid and Misa Luding, Frontier Athletics embodies a deep passion for fitness and community. Initially dedicated to sports, injuries redirected their paths toward group fitness, where they discovered a dynamic, supportive community.

After moving to Nelson in 2021, Ryan and Misa saw a growing need for a fitness centre that emphasized community spirit.
