Just been looking around in your YouTube channel and it seems as though you have some pretty nice training locations. Just out of curiousity, where do you train primarily? Are you in Toronto? I’m an Ottawa native and, although I’m seldom in Canada anymore, it’s always interesting for me to see where one can train for powerlifting in Ontario. It’s good to see that some formerly “mainstream” gyms are beginning to embrace strength sports a bit more.

Yes I’m in Toronto. I split my training pretty evenly between 3 locations, Quantum Crossfit, Fortis Fitness, and the Anvil garage gym. They’re all great locations with unique apeal, Toronto is pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to quality gyms. Where are you living now?
