Our Story

Started in a 1200 sq ft warehouse with nothing but bumper plates and a dream...

Yeah, I know how that sounds. But back in 2018, I was tired of seeing people spin their wheels in commercial gyms that cared more about juice bars than actual results. Spent years competing in Olympic lifting and coaching athletes on the side, watching folks pay premium prices for watered-down programming and trainers who couldn't tell a clean from a snatch if their life depended on it.

So I said screw it - cashed out my savings, found a spot on Granville that used to be a auto shop, and built something different. No mirrors everywhere, no Instagram posing zones, just quality equipment and programming that actually works.

What started with 12 members who believed in the vision has grown into something I'm genuinely proud of. We've kept the same philosophy though - real coaching, honest feedback, and training that makes you stronger in ways that matter outside the gym too.

How We Actually Do Things

No fluff, no gimmicks - just what actually works when you show up and put in the work.

Individualized Programming

Cookie-cutter programs are garbage. Your body, your goals, your schedule - that's what matters. We build programs around where you're at right now, not some fantasy version of yourself. Strength gains come from smart progression, not just throwing weight on the bar and hoping for the best.

Technical Excellence

Movement quality isn't negotiable here. I don't care if you can squat 500lbs if your knees are caving in and your back looks like a scared cat. We drill the basics until they're bulletproof, then we build on that foundation. Yeah, it takes longer - but you'll actually be able to walk when you're 60.

Real Accountability

We're gonna call you out when you're phoning it in. Not to be jerks, but because you came here for results and we take that seriously. If you want someone to just nod and smile while you waste your time, there's like 50 other gyms in Vancouver that'll happily take your money.

Community That Pushes You

Everyone here is chasing something. Maybe it's a PR, maybe it's just feeling better in their own skin. Point is, nobody's just going through the motions. That energy's contagious - you'll find yourself pushing harder than you thought possible just because the person next to you isn't giving up.

Meet The Team

Look, we're not gonna bore you with a wall of bios listing every certification under the sun. What matters is this - every coach here has walked the walk. They've competed, they've failed, they've learned what works through years of trial and error, not just weekend cert courses.

Our head Olympic lifting coach spent 8 years on the national circuit. Our strength and conditioning lead came up through college athletics and knows what it takes to build real athletic performance. The nutrition consultant? Actually has a degree in the field, not just an Instagram following.

Point is, when you're here getting coached, you're learning from people who've been in the trenches. They know what it's like to grind through a plateau, to deal with nagging injuries, to balance training with real life responsibilities. That experience is worth way more than any letters after a name.
