This my gym. Don’t come here so that I can continue to enjoy the peace and quiet of a small community and low foot traffic. It’s a great gym.

This is THE place to go to in Calgary for strongman or powerlifting! Great friendly community and an excellent variety of equipment, tires, atlas stones, logs, you name it they got it. They also have an oly lifting platform with rubber weights. There are ample squat racks and benches. The gym also has a mas wrestling mat. There's free mas wrestling training usually every week and it's very fun. The people here are friendly and it's great to have a gym family :)
Currently the drop in rate is $10 which is a great deal. Definitely worth visiting on occasion even if it's not your main gym

Coming for few days from Paris to work in Calgary, Andrew gave me the chance to visit this nice gym and enjoy my trip. It was the first time I visited a strongman gym ! Nice bars, nice deadlift bar, nice equipments. There was a really good atmosphere there. Unfortunately it's impossible for a lot of reason to have such a gym in France. Even a classic gym !
Thanks a lot Andrew !

Fantastic gym for picking things up and putting them down. Racks and cages and platforms aplenty, barbells and kettlebells and more esoteric equipment.
Staff is fantastic, policies are great.

Andrew is the goat (greatest of all time) for creating this environment. I absolutely love this gym. Everybody is so friendly! First time using it as an outsider. Highly recommend if you’re into powerlifting and bodybuilding. They got plenty of strong people here who you can learn from. I get why they’ve been in business for +10 years. Thank you Andrew!
