Burlington Ontario (just a bit southwest of Toronto); they've just opened a new gym there.

Also, I don't think Tour de Bloc has any US comps as it's sort of become the Canadian equivalent of the ABS.

Yea it was great! Awesome gym, and very well put together comp. I placed 3rd in my division (recreational) which I was super happy with since there was a lot of strong women there.

Now I know what I need to do to get better as well.

I stayed for the finals and they were awesome!

How'd you do
