Underground Throwdown 2025 – Highlights, Winners, and Community Moments

What a day! This year’s Underground Throwdown brought together an incredible mix of new members and seasoned veterans for a full day of competition, community, and PRs. With four team workouts – including relay, synchro, gymnastics, and heavy lifting – we covered it all. From the excitement of the new nerf gun introduction to the debut of a challenging new lunge–wall ball movement, every event pushed our athletes to give their all.

The energy in the gym was unbeatable. We saw countless personal bests, strong teamwork, and plenty of good vibes from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Dr. Em and Pam for being on site to support our members, and to our amazing sponsors, Honey Bee Meals, Thrive Protein, Fahrenheit Coffee, Bindia Indian Bistro, and Theatre Passe Muraille – for helping make the event such a success.

And of course, congratulations to this year’s standout teams and individuals:

🏆 1st Place: Quadsadilla (Kayleigh, Jason, Paul, Shawn)

🥈 2nd Place: Salpi, Will, KC, and Juan

🥉 3rd Place: Nick G, Nick B, Aberdeen, and Thomas/Nick

⭐ Rookie of the Year: Pao Paruñgo

💪 MVP: Dan Evans

Every single athlete brought the energy and effort that make this community so special. We’re already looking forward to seeing what next year brings!
