About Lakan Fitness

OUR STORY

Lakan Fitness was born from a passion for fitness and a mission to create a healthier, stronger community in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Founders Borky Perida and Camille Tijamo discovered CrossFit in Cambodia in 2018, with Borky using it as a means to combat hypertension and obesity. Inspired by their transformation, they decided to bring the benefits of CrossFit to their hometown.

Now, in April 2025, Lakan Fitness is set to open as the first CrossFit Affiliate in Bulacan, offering a community-driven and high-intensity training experience designed for all fitness levels.

WHY “LAKAN”?

The name “Lakan” comes from an old Tagalog word meaning “leader”, symbolizing our mission to lead the way in health and fitness in Bulacan. It’s also a nod to our home province (Bu-Lakan), where we aim to cultivate a thriving CrossFit culture.
