What do you get when you combine a geologist and an investment fund manager? A neighbourhood cross training community centre, that's what. Mike Peshko and Marcus Turner, waded into the world of gym life back in April 2006 after being teased with the notion of starting something "active" , stoked by their participation in multiple marathons, bike racing and adventure racing. "We thought we would go into adventure retail, then some hybrid of retail, coffee shop and gym and it migrated to what we are today, a neighbourhood alternative to the big gym" mentioned Mike. In RPM, they have combined a unique blendf spinning, gravity and personal training situated just west of High Park's front entrance in an airy 2 1/2 story lounge-type of setting.

Marcus adds "'we recognize that gyms suffer from the interested, eager person who tries the experience out for a month and never comes back again.
