Tim Gourlay

Tim Gourlay is the founder and CEO of Fitset Ninja and is convinced that life is just better when you're physically active regularly. This belief was part of the original inspiration for starting Fitset Ninja and it's his vision to turn Ninja into a mainstream sport right across the country, with Fitset Ninja locations in every major Canadian City!

Before starting the company Tim's focus was on his own athletic journey. He played 2 years of post secondary volleyball with the Red Deer College Kings and then 3 years with the U of A Golden Bears. During those 5 seasons he won 4 national championships before continuing his athletic career with the Canadian National Team and then professionally in the German Pro Bundesliga. After retiring from professional volleyball in 2012, Tim got his MBA from the University of Alberta and started his first business Fitset, Edmonton's multi-studio pass. Tim received a University of Alberta Alumni Innovation Award in 2019 for his efforts with Fitset pass and then decided to open his own facility, Fitset Ninja, which is his primary focus now. Tim loves living here in Edmonton with his wife Katarina and two kids Clara & Novak and two dogs Hugo and Romeo.
