Toronto Powerlifting

[Francis333]

Any powerlifters in toronto? I'm looking for a hardcore PLing gym and am sick of my chitty college gym that doesn't even allow chalk or smashing of weights..humber college.

There are no gyms near Humber north though..

Any ideas?

T-rex and torque are along the 427, monster is close enough if you have a car. Check out the clubs listed on the OPA site, find one that works for you.

fortis looks like the gym to end all gyms, would go there hands down if i was in toronto

I would go there too but it's 42km which is an hour and a half transit ride there. It's on the other side of Toronto. That's 3hrs of commuting that I can't afford.

I am planning to go there for one day maybe and check it out, but as far as a membership I can't. I'd love to, OmarIsuf trains there too.

Never heard of t-rex and can't find it. Aware me.

Torque looks awesome, it may be doable at 15+ km away and a bit better at a 40 min transit ride. Not bad but still a long time to get to the gym, may be the closes good gym too unfortunately.

thanks man

OP depends where you are located;

East End - Fortis is unmatched
Downtown - Bang Fitness is pretty good I've heard never trained there though
West End
- Torque Barbell Club - Great gym, if you are part of their PL team they will let you use the Texas Deadlift Bar - Also has a ton of bodybuilding type machines - Not 24 Hours Though
- Fitness 365 - Mainly a bodybuilding gym but never closes and has a TON of weights. No real speciality equipment though

I train at Grunt Performance - Has 2 platforms and 3 cages, only one bench press. Very few machines but there is a turf and prowlers. They have some strongman stuff there too. I keep my equipment there (circus dumbbell, kegs, top loaded farmers walks, getting an axle bar soon, banded deadlift platform, deadlift jack) I don't mind people using it as long as I see you're not being an idiot and look like you're going to damage it. Also has 24 hour access with a key fob

Emailed, thanks alot for awaring me. I'm mostly just looking to network and get a taste of the PLing environment and T-rex sounds awesome for that.
