David Balfour
Dave Balfour didn’t set out to run one of the top sports and therapy clinics in B.C., he just set out to run. Originally an avid marathon runner, not to mention a scuba instructor, competitive soccer player, and rock climber, Balfour’s passion was simply sports not therapy, until a tragic accident changed his life. In 2003, Balfour was involved in a head-on collision that led to a month-long hospital stay, 23 surgeries, and life in a wheelchair until he could learn to walk again. Five years later, another accident left him with four broken vertebrae. Needless to say, the sports were put on pause and the therapy began. With a total of over 30 surgeries to date and a passion for winning and bringing others along the world of CrossFit has brought back a feeling of competing and uplifting others through the process. Truly from wheelchair to CrossFit to community leader.
