Coach Nate was introduced to CrossFit in 2009 and began competing in the sport in 2010. While CrossFit proved to be an effective and challenging program to increase metabolic conditioning and strength, Nate saw room for improvement when it came to educating the athletes on the importance of proper warmups, mobility, muscle activations and pre-hab exercises as both injury prevention and to improve motor patterns. Nate saw a unique opportunity to open a CrossFit gym where he could combine his expertise as a kinesiologist with his passion and experience as a CrossFit athlete.

In 2011 Nate and his wife, Julie moved their young family to Langley where they began renovations on their new gym. In November 2011, Hybrid Athletics was born and introduced CrossFit to the Fraser Valley.

Hybrid Athletics quickly developed a reputation as a dominant CrossFit gym. For three consecutive years (2012-2014) Hybrid sent 6 athletes to the CrossFit Games. In 2017 and 2021 Nate competed in the Crossfit Games as an individual athlete (Masters Division) where he placed 10th (2017) and 4th (2021) in the world.

While still being home to some incredible CrossFit athletes, over time Hybrid has shifted our focus and passion to being a premier coaching facility where people receive support and guidance in creating healthy, active lifestyles which allow them to thrive in their lives. Hybrid prides itself on our strong sense of community, the effectiveness of our coaching and the level of care and passion our staff bring to our clients.

In 2018 Hybrid began offering coaching services in the Abbotsford East community and in December 2020, we officially opened a second location. This has allowed us to bring our high quality coaching to a greater community, furthering our vision of helping people improve their lives through health and fitness.
