About Totem Fitness Inc.

At Totem Fitness Inc., our story is one of resilience, heritage, and transformation. Rooted deeply in the rich cultural traditions of the Native Cree and Métis communities, our journey reflects the strength and spirit of a family that has faced and overcome adversity.

Founded by T.J., a proud son of a full Native Cree father and a powerfully loving Métis/Cree mother, Totem Fitness Inc. is more than just a fitness brand; it’s a testament to the enduring legacy of our ancestors and the strength found in our heritage. Our parents' lives, marked by separation and struggle within a system that often failed to support Indigenous families, profoundly shaped our values and mission. Their influence, though from different paths, merged to create a foundation of resilience, tenacity, and hope.

Growing up, the cultural teachings and traditions of both parents played a crucial role in shaping T.J.'s identity and values. Despite the challenges of a tattered family background, these influences guided T.J. towards a path of empowerment and community-focused growth. This legacy is not just a part of T.J.’s life but also a crucial element in his son’s upbringing, symbolizing the strength and continuity of our heritage through generations.

At Totem Fitness Inc., we believe in the power of physical fitness and holistic well-being as tools for personal transformation and community empowerment. Our mission is to provide high-quality fitness solutions that honor the spirit of our ancestors, promoting not just physical health but also mental and spiritual wellness.

We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background, can find strength and inspiration. Our programs are designed to reflect the resilience and unity of our cultural heritage, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.

Join us at Totem Fitness Inc. as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and build a future where everyone can thrive. Together, we can transform challenges into triumphs and create a legacy of strength and wellness for generations to come.
