Why This Exists

Boys Need More Than Sports

Most programs send boys home tired. That's the goal. Burn them out so they're easier to handle.

Instead of burning your son's energy so he's easy at home, we teach him to regulate it. So he can contribute at home.

UP/ONLY. gives boys a place to be challenged, to lead, to serve, and to belong.

📵

Screens are raising boys. Attention is being sold, not developed. Something is lacking.

🏆

Most programs reward performance. We reward character, leadership, and growth.

🧭

Boys without identity grow into men without direction. It starts young, and so does the solution.

What UP/ONLY. provides

Physical challenge with purpose

Obstacle courses, strength, agility, team challenges. Kids move, push, fall, and try again. Outdoors. With real consequences and real encouragement.

Leadership through action

Boys facilitate exercises, lead their peers, and are given opportunities to contribute and be acknowledged for it. They learn to ask for help and to give it.

A tool that goes home with them

The Cycle of Experience is a shared language for kids, parents, coaches, even grandparents.

Community

Boys learn to lead so they can practice it where they live.

The Emotional Framework

The Cycle of Experience

Teaching kids to avoid the lows is not a solution. We teach them to name where they are and find the direction back up together.

PHASE 01

Rising

Effort & Courage

Things are moving. Momentum is building. You're showing up even when it's hard.

The opportunity

Keep going. Celebrate the try, not just the result. Effort is worth acknowledging out loud, every time.

"Where are you in the cycle right now?"

Bringing awareness to your position so you can choose the direction.

Who We Are

Built by two dads who saw the gap.

UP/ONLY. was started by Simon Fyall and Josh Chessman in Victoria, B.C. as an answer to a question every parents asks: who is actually developing my boys?

Simon Fyall

Co-Founder & Operator

I'm a father, husband, and entrepreneur living in Oak Bay, BC. I love being in nature, trail running, playing tennis, and exploring with my two sons Micah, 5, and Liam, 2.

Becoming a father has inspired me to grow as a man and to contribute more to the community I live in. Having two active, high-energy boys has shown me firsthand the need for programs that help kids understand and direct their energy, develop real skills, and build character and confidence from the ground up.

I'm excited to lead this generation of boys and to build something in Victoria that families can be proud of.

Josh Chessman

Co-Founder & Operator

I'm a father, musician, drummer, entrepreneur, and health coach based in Victoria, BC. I'm the founder of UP/ONLY. and I work with men to improve their health, mindset, fitness, and long-term success.

I'm also the dad of a six-year-old son named Sorrel who is in nature-based learning, which has made me even more passionate about creating positive spaces where kids can build confidence, resilience, and leadership.

Over the past five years, I've been deeply involved in men's work, community initiatives, and volunteer projects. Community is essential to me. I believe kids thrive when they are surrounded by supportive adults, meaningful challenges, movement, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging.

The Mission

More capable individuals. Stronger families. Stronger communities.

We're not building athletes. We're building boys who know how to regulate their energy, lead their peers, ask for help, and give back to the community they live in. The program is the beginning. The direction is always up.

Health is the entry point

Physical challenge is how we reach boys. Movement is the door.

Mindset is the driver

The Cycle of Experience gives every boy a framework for navigating where they are and choosing where to go.

Leadership is the outcome

Boys who can lead themselves first. Then their squad. Then their community.

Come see what we're building.

The first cohort starts the week of Oct 5th in Oak Bay. Spots are limited. We'd love to have your son in the squad.
