History is only written once, tonight we are rewriting it.”Gabriel Hardy
The Canadian Fitness Industry now has an inside man.
In a stunningly tight race, where voting went into the early hours of the morning. Gabriel Hardy, Executive Director of Fitness Industry Canada, and the Conservative Party candidate, clinched the victory in the 2025 federal election in Montmorency–Charlevoix in what will be remembered as one of the most dramatic political turnarounds in recent Quebec history.
Hardy led his campaign with heart – knocking on doors, meeting his constituents, and listening – the leadership style he has employed in bringing his own business life, and at the helm of the Canadian fitness industry.
His win offers key lessons for political strategists, fitness industry leaders, and anyone interested in grassroots campaigning – and is a testimonial to an ever-present theme in fitness.
Hard work pays off.
