At Strong Space, we keep things simple, safe, and effective—and nothing delivers better results for building real strength than the three classic powerlifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. These aren’t just “gym moves.” They’re life moves. Done correctly and progressively, they strengthen your entire body and build the kind of resilience that lasts a lifetime.
Why Powerlifting?
Squat: Strength from the Ground Up
The squat builds powerful legs, hips, and a rock-solid core. But more than that, it trains your body to sit, stand, lift, and move with confidence. Whether it’s carrying shopping bags, keeping up with teenagers/grandkids, or getting up from the floor without a second thought—squatting is a foundation for living well.
It also prepares you for life’s bigger adventures—like hiking scenic trails, exploring new cities without relying on elevators, hoisting suitcases into overhead lockers, or dancing at your favourite band’s reunion tour. Squats don’t just build strength in the gym—they build the strength to keep saying yes to the life you love.
Bench Press: Upper Body Strength You Can Feel
The bench press is more than just a chest exercise. It builds real-world pushing strength through your shoulders, arms, and core—supporting better posture and upper body function as the years roll on.
It also helps open up the chest and counteract the effects of hours spent sitting or looking down—gently pulling you upright and reducing that rounded upper back so many of us start to notice. Whether you’re lifting luggage into the overhead, carrying groceries in one trip, or holding a long, heartfelt hug—bench press strength shows up where it counts.
It’s about staying open, capable, and confident in your body every day.
Deadlift: The Ultimate Strength Move
The deadlift is the king of lifts for a reason. It strengthens your entire backside—back, glutes, hamstrings—and teaches you how to lift heavy things safely and efficiently.
Whether you're moving furniture, carrying a large pet, loading the car for a weekend away, or simply wanting to avoid back pain from everyday tasks, the deadlift gives you the kind of real-world strength that keeps you capable and confident.
It’s not just about what you can lift at the gym—it’s about protecting your back, and knowing your body can keep up with everything life throws your way.
We train you to move better, feel stronger, and age with power and purpose. Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to training after a break, our coaches meet you where you’re at, teach you proper technique, and help you progress at your own pace. And if you like chasing numbers on the records board,we are here for that too!

Why Community Matters in Building Strength
At Strong Space, we believe strength is more than just muscles—it’s mindset, resilience, and the people you surround yourself with.
That’s why we’re not just a gym. We’re a community.
Support Makes You Stronger
Lifting weights builds muscle. But being seen, supported, and encouraged? That builds something even deeper. When you train in a space where people know your name, celebrate your progress, and show up beside you week after week—it’s easier to stay consistent, push through challenges, and keep showing up for yourself.
Strong Muscles, Strong Mind
We know that strength training can feel intimidating at first. That’s where community makes all the difference. A welcoming, inclusive space reduces fear, boosts confidence, and helps you reconnect with your body in a way that feels empowering—not punishing. You’re not doing this alone. You’re doing it with people who get it.
Belonging Changes Everything
In midlife, we often find ourselves caring for everyone else, feeling a little lost, or craving connection. At Strong Space, you’ll find a tribe of people who are walking the same path—building strength, aging well, and choosing to invest in their health. That sense of belonging? It’s the secret weapon to lasting results.
Connection Is the Core of Our Culture
You’ll never be just a number here. No swipe cards, no headphones-in-headphones-out culture. We greet you by name. We high-five your wins. And we lift each other up—literally and figuratively.
Because strong people lift more than weights—they lift each other.
