Strength Training

FORGE YOUR STRENGTH,
IGNITE YOUR VALOR

Stop waiting for the perfect moment. This is where regular folks become warriors. No fluff, no fitness influencer nonsense - just pure, battle-tested strength training that actually works.

Olympic Weightlifting

Real Olympic lifting - snatches, clean & jerks, the whole deal. Been coaching this for years and there's nothing like seeing someone nail their first full clean. It's addictive, honestly.

Warrior Conditioning

Functional fitness that doesn't mess around. We're talking movements that carry over to real life - picking up heavy stuff, throwing things, moving fast when you need to. Pretty straightforward stuff.

Personal Coaching

One-on-one work where we dial in your technique, program around your life, and figure out what'll actually keep you showing up. Turns out personalized attention matters - who knew?

Training at Glaiven

Why We're Different

Look, Vancouver's got plenty of gyms. Some are super fancy with juice bars and Instagram walls. That's cool if that's your thing. We went a different route.

We've got barbells that've seen some serious work, coaches who actually competed and coached at high levels, and a crew of members who'll push you harder than any motivational poster ever could.

Started this place back in 2018 'cause I was tired of seeing people waste time on programs that weren't built for them. Every person's got different goals, different bodies, different schedules. So we treat 'em that way.

LEARN OUR STORY

REAL RESULTS FROM REAL PEOPLE

These aren't paid actors or cherry-picked transformations. Just regular folks who decided to show up and put in the work.

Personal Training & Coaching

Work directly with coaches who've been there. We'll build something that fits your schedule, your goals, and your actual life - not some cookie-cutter plan.

Performance Testing

Track what matters. Regular assessments so you can see exactly where you're improving - 'cause feeling strong is cool, but numbers don't lie.

Nutrition Planning

No weird detoxes or meal replacement shakes. Just solid nutrition advice that works with how you actually eat. Yeah, you can still have pizza.

Olympic Weightlifting

The technical stuff - snatches, cleans, jerks. Takes time to learn but there's nothing quite like it. We'll start you from scratch or refine what you've got.

Functional Fitness Classes

Group sessions that'll kick your butt in the best way. Mix of strength, conditioning, and movements that make everyday life easier. Pretty simple concept.

Strength Workshops

Deep dives into specific movements or training methods. These pop up regularly - great for leveling up your knowledge or fixing technique issues.
