Strong bodies. Clear heads. A home place that thrives.

Coastal Peak Fitness started with a handful of early risers and late-nighters down at the Purple Field of Dreams — folk who wanted to train somewhere that felt real. No mirrors, no air conditioning, just fresh air, banter, and the odd sideways rain to keep you humble.

What began as a few outdoor sessions in the Dunbar wind has grown into something much bigger — a place where people come to move, laugh, and feel a bit more alive. The workouts matter, sure, but it’s the people that make it — the graft, the stories, the jokes, and that quiet sense that you’re part of something good. It’s not just exercise; it’s belonging — to a crew, a coastline, and a way of living that keeps you grounded.

I once watched a scientist, Dr. Lockman, from the Green Bank Observatory in the Appalachian Mountains. He discovered a clear patch in the sky — The Lockman Hole — a rare place where the usual fog of cosmic hydrogen thins out, letting us see deeper into the universe than anywhere else. He said he’d rather have called it The Lockman Window, because through it, you can look cleanly out into the vastness beyond distortion. That’s what we aim to do clear the fog and distortion with a wee bit of exercise so you can see clearly again. SIMPLE.

At the end of that interview, he said something that’s never left me: “You’ve got to take care of the home place.”

He was talking about Earth — our only home. But it hit me that we each have our own version of that too. Your body, your mind, your health — they’re your home place. The bit of the planet that’s entirely yours to look after. When you take care of that, and the world around you, everything else just makes more sense.

That’s Coastal Peak Fitness — real people, real graft, and looking after the home place, inside and out.
