Olympic Lifting in B.C

Bigger Stronger Leaner Powerlifting & Strength Sports

Hey guys.
I’m looking to start going to an olympic gym as I recently started doing a few lifts (which I love) but can’t seem to find one in the lower mainland area. The only thing I heard about a gym being in B.C was turned into an Xtreme fitness about 3 years ago. If anyone has any help they can give, it’d be much appreciated. (For the record I did do a long search and came up with nothing).

Vancouver must have some good ones. Hell, there’s a good club in my hometown of 40,000 people.

Khalsa School in surrey has a good weightlifting club. There are CrossFit places in Surrey and Vancouver as well.

I’ll be living around Van next year. Maybe we can train together?

Still there dude, came back Dec 20th to Jan 3rd to visit some fam and get a couple training sessions with coach in. I’ll be back in Vancouver on June 1st, gimme a holler if you want to do some training together.

Just FYI, if any of the clubs are out of the way for you guys, the UBC gym has two platforms with bumper plates if you’d like to attempt to learn on your own.

The Semiahmoo Weightlifting club is the big one for the lower mainland, and they have lots of equipment. They got all the stuff from the World Championships when it was held in Vancouver in 2003.

The Lions Club lifts at Universal Fitness in Surrey. The Garage Original Fitness also has bumper plates.
