is your potential, magnificent is your future’ Limitless Athletics celebrates new ownership, more permanent home

The sky is the limit for Border City cheerleaders as Limitless Athletics opened the doors to its new facility.

Previously known as Flight Athletics, the cheer club was recently purchased by local business owner and personal trainer Kandal Leonard and is located at 6643 63 St. Close, Lloydminster, Alta.

With the new ownership came a name change, and Leonard thought it was only fitting to stick to the brand she’s been using for 20 years.

“My personal training business was called Limitless Fitness and Nutrition and I picked that when I first started 20 years ago because I truly believe everything we can do as humans is limitless,” she said on Saturday morning after popping some champagne to celebrate the occasion.

“We just need to believe in ourselves and have the right circle, and I really wanted to transfer that to this.”

Leonard initially got into cheer when her first daughter turned five and gave the sport a try.

“We started with Cheer Legacy when it opened, then they closed, then the Cheer Force Jets took over and changed their name to Flight Athletics, and now it’s Limitless Athletics, to stay. We are not changing, we’re not going anywhere, we’re rooted in this commu - nity,” she said. “I’ve lived here for 20 years, I have my other business, Supplement King in town, my children were born here, they’re going to school here, we aren’t going anywhere, so this club is here to stay.”

Limitless Athletics offers recreational tumbling, ninja classes and cheer and prep classes for novice and elite.

The club also does flyer training, strength training, group training and personal training for all ages from three and up.

Aside from now being the owner of a cheer club, Leonard and the team of coaches at Limitless are really looking forward to utilizing their new space.

“We have a 10,000 sq. ft. building, which gives us 2,500 sq. ft. for our parents and athletes to relax in,” she said. “We also have a 7,500 sq. ft. gym, we have a full competition floor, a 32-foot tumbling track, mirrors for the kids to practise their dance with, we have custom-made tumbling equipment that’s being shipped to us now.

It’s new, it’s clean, and it’s bright, and I really believe it has a welcoming feel when you come in.”
