I’m taking the wife and kids to Kitchener, Ontario and was wondering if there are any good gyms I could hit this wednesday? thanks

greig, I’m originally from Kitchener, Ont. but I haven’t lived there for 6 years. I went to Popeye’s Gym. just off the Conestoga expressway, on Weber across from Eastwood high school. I make it back every now and then. It used to be really hardcore, but alas has gone through some changes, but still has lots of FW, DB sets up to 130 lbs (I think), Olympic/ powerlifting platform, oodles of hammer strength equipment. And if you are planning a leg day save some for negatives because it’s on the second floor of a warehouse.
Peace,

The two best gyms in Kitchener are Popeye’s (on Weber street), and Club Olympia (part of TKO Fighting Arts on Charles St.). There are plenty of fitness clubs around, but they all suck and are more for the potato couch enthusiast. I live in Waterloo, and would be glad to give any other advice on the area.

Can you tell me anything abot TKO Fighting Arts. I live over in Guelph and am looking for a place to train MMA. To Greig: Popeye’s is about as hardcore as your going to get in this area.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it’s Popeye’s. Ghostface, besides Sportsworld, the African wild safari, and the Wings of Paradise exhibit, is there any other things of interest to kids aged 3 to 6? Thanks, again.

TKO is one of the only fighting schools in the area. They specialize in Thai/kickboxing, but also teach other styles. There is a guy who teaches Judo there who is a former Pan-Am games gold medal winner, if I’m not mistaken. As far as going somewhere to learn MMA, the only place I’ve heard of is this guy running a class out of an industrial building. He calls it Humble Fist, but it’s not listed and I have no idea how to get a hold of him. If you’re interested, there’s a small group of guys who’ll be getting together at Wilfrid Laurier University come September to practice grappling and striking. I think I’m going to try and attend, and I can let you know the 411 on that if you want.
