4. Pursuit OCR

Touted as Canada’s only obstacle course for adults, Pursuit OCR from Wil Mclean and Eddie Chan opened in October. Spread over 10,000 square feet, the warehouse venue has been transformed into an alternative fitness space filled with obstacle course racing, cove walls, and group exercise classes mainly focusing on gymnastics and dynamic flexibility. The space is available for private rental for teambuilding events, receptions, or social gatherings of 300 people.

The PTTOW Summit, held in May at Southern California’s Terranea Resort, encouraged conference attendees to sit with one another and answer some of life's big questions. A spinning wheel positioned adjacent to a seating group offered a series of topics—like "hate," "doubt," and "purpose"—to break the ice and make the exercise more interesting. The coffee table positioned at the seating group offered a workbook that participants could open to find questions or activities to do together, and the event also offered "conversation cookies,” fortune cookies filled with more conversation topics. JOWY Productions was behind the event’s production.
