The Lab: Barbell & Social Club

Seriously love this gym! Ive tried a million different gyms but none of them were motivating enough to keep me around. I've brought a couple friends to tried out the free trial week and they ended up getting hooked as well! Small classes feel like personal training (but not for the personal training prices), super knowledgable instructors (I've been doing squats wrong for 10 years ????), great comradery among the members and a challenging atmosphere. The perfect recipe to intrigue someone like myself and keep them coming back! Thanks guys!!

This gym is terrific. I have trained at gyms across North America, and I can say that Damien (the owner) has put together a nice place to train. Damien's philosophy is simple... the harder he works to give you what you need, the better it is for everybody... and that's how he runs his business. He'll do anything to make sure you have what you need to be successful, so be prepared to never have an excuse for skipping the gym again. His prices are fair for the service you receive, and he goes the extra mile for every person who steps foot in his gym. I love the place and wish there were more places like this close to downtown. Until then, it's worth the extra drive, and there's plenty of parking. The front entrance is tucked away a bit in the shopping centre where it is located. If you don't find it right away, keep looking. It's next to the Sunny Up diner just behind the convince store and next to Papa John's. Thanks for reading!

We love this place!! It feels like a giant family. The facility, its trainers and environment exceeds every standard. Quality equipment and newly renovated space.
I was also very adamant on finding a gym that appeals to women (as well as my husband who’s into powerlifting) and the Lab is amazing for that. They encourage women and it’s not just an intimidating pit of testosterone like most gyms.
Thank you to Damien and team for building a wonderful community that keeps me motivated and provides top notch quality training that WORKS!!

The Lab is a dream of a fitness facility. Spacious room with great energy, but still an intimate space where you feel welcome and cared for. Fantastic coaching is available and the equipment is second to none. Highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to get into fitness or push their strength goals to the next level!

The Lab is a GEM! It has all the equipment (and more) that I need and want to get fit and strong, and the community is fantastic. The owner, Damien, is an intelligent, thoughtful, and hilarious coach and friend to everybody and the place is always welcoming. It's been renovated recently so it's double the size now! I love hanging out at their social bar that's set up like a island in the middle of the gym.

Highly recommended!
