This isn't your typical gym with rows of treadmills. We're talking real combat conditioning, strongman lifts that'll test your core, and functional movement that translates to actual life outside these walls.
Look, we've been doing this for years up here in North Van, and we've seen it all. People walk in thinking they're ready, but the first battle session usually changes that real quick. That's not a bad thing though - it means you're about to level up in ways you didn't think possible.
We're not gonna sugarcoat it - this place demands respect. Whether you're throwing down in our HIIT sessions, moving atlas stones in strongman training, or working one-on-one with our coaches, you'll leave knowing you earned every damn rep.
The Citadel's built on a simple idea: train like you mean it, push past what feels comfortable, and surround yourself with people who won't let you quit on yourself.
Six core disciplines that'll reshape how you think about training
These sessions aren't for the faint-hearted. We're combining strike combos, bodyweight explosiveness, and cardiovascular punishment that'll have you gasping but coming back for more. You'll build endurance that actually matters.
Forget those fancy machines. We're talking tire flips, log presses, farmer's carries with weights that'll humble you. This is old-school strength work that builds the kind of power you can actually use outside the gym.
Movement quality matters more than you think. We'll break down your patterns, fix what's broken, and rebuild how you move. Whether you're 25 or 55, moving better changes everything about how training feels.
Sometimes you need that focused attention. Our coaches have been in the trenches themselves - they know what works and what's just Instagram nonsense. Custom programming that actually fits your life and goals.
You can't out-train a crap diet, and you can't keep pushing if you're not recovering right. We'll help you dial in what you're eating and how you're resting. No fad diets, just real food strategies that stick.
This is where the magic happens. Small groups, big energy, everyone pushing each other past their limits. There's something about suffering together that builds this crazy bond. You'll see what we mean.
Honestly? It's the community. Yeah, the equipment's solid and the programming's legit, but what keeps people coming back is the atmosphere. No egos, no judgment - just folks who show up, work hard, and genuinely want to see each other succeed.
We've got members who've been with us since day one, and they'll tell you the same thing. Once you find your spot in the Citadel, it's tough to imagine training anywhere else.

First session's on us. Come see what we're about, no strings attached. Fair warning though - once you feel what real training's like, it's hard to go back to regular gyms.
