BASECAMP Fitness & Lifestyle

I've know the owner/operator of Basecamp Fitness & Lifestyle (Graham MacDonald) for 4 years. Graham is the most passionate engaged fitness person that I know. He has created a completely inclusive welcoming facility that hosts members from all fitness levels. Graham operates this gym with a focus on improving people's health with a focus on increased mobility and strength. I often joke with others that Graham has a PhD in body mechanics (joking aside, Graham has an impressive academic resume); when you have something bothering you and/or holding you back from achieving your fitness goals, then Graham always has the answers and modifications to ensure members get back on track. I'm currently working with Graham on addressing a shoulder issue that has been inhibiting my performance for years. Graham developed a program for me that has helped me immensely. He is extremely patient as a coach and respected and loved by all the members. Basecamp is a new gym that opened in 2021; the gym is professionally outfitted with all the latest new equipment; the gym is meticulously maintained and cleaned.

BASECAMP offers insanely smart, balanced, and challenging workouts. My overall fitness has improved astronomically since training with Graham. He takes the time to get to know each and every one of his members and knows how to modify movements based on each individuals’ strengths and limitations. The community is amazing and while it’s a great place to release my competitive nature, everyone here is welcoming, supportive, and I always leave feeling like I am building a strong and healthy body to last me well into my 90s (when I plan to take home gold at the age category CrossFit games).

This gym truly offers something for every age with the overall goal to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. Graham's knowledge base gives him the ability to modify any movement "on the fly" to ensure everyone attains their desired fitness goals while remaining injury free. Every workout begins with a well thought out warm up and mobility session to ensure one's body is ready for a solid workout. An added bonus is the wonderful community he has built since open in the gym and the fun social events that allow people to explore new outdoor activities.

This is a great gym. Graham offers a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. The gym has all new equipment and the instruction Graham gives is second to none. The workouts are fun and flexible to suit all levels. This is a great place to work out, meet new people and have fun.

I've been attending this gym since it opened this year. It's a wonderful, clean facility with a fun atmosphere. Graham is an extremely knowledgeable coach who has created a welcoming culture for people who want to stay active and be social. No intense pressure here! I truly enjoy coming to the gym every day and being a part of this community
