Yard Athletics newest team member, Torin Nikiforuk, is now becoming a familiar face around the gym. Everyone who’s trained with Torin knows he brings an infectious energy, positive attitude, and strong knowledge of strength & conditioning.

But how well do you really know Torin? Sure, you might know he goes by the nickname “Torpedo”, but as always with 20 Questions, we want to go deeper. Computer: ENHANCE.

We shot our usual bag of 20 Q’s at Torin to find out if he’s on team Cardi or team Nicki, where to score the best pizza, and what his Grouse Grind goal is for 2020.

Enoy!

Hiking and/or boxing.

Nicki… she can still make your bed rock.

Cookies, croissants, muffins, pretty much any baked good.
