Been training people for over a decade, and I'll tell ya straight - real results don't come from fancy machines or Instagram-worthy poses. They come from pushing through when everything in you screams to quit.
At ShadowThorn, we've crafted something different. It's part old-school powerlifting dungeon, part combat conditioning center. The walls are raw, the equipment's heavy, and yeah - there's gonna be some blood, sweat, and probably a few choice words along the way.
We're open 24/7 'cause we know grind doesn't keep office hours. Whether you're throwing down at 3pm or 3am, the iron's waiting.
Not just lifting for show. This is functional power that translates to real-world dominance. Think compound movements, explosive drills, and zero BS.
Yeah, we went there with the name. But seriously - this is about building raw, brutal strength. Squat, bench, deadlift. The fundamentals done right.
Bag work, pad drills, grappling conditioning. We'll get you fight-ready even if you never step in a cage. The cardio alone will humble you.
One-on-one attention from coaches who've been in the trenches. We'll dial in your training and nutrition without any cookie-cutter nonsense.
Your schedule's crazy? Ours isn't. Train when the world sleeps. The facility's yours round the clock with your membership card.
Misery loves company, right? These sessions will break you down and rebuild you stronger. Limited spots 'cause quality beats quantity.
We're located in the industrial heart of Vancouver. Not the pretty part - the real part. Where work gets done and results speak louder than promises. First session's on us if you think you can handle it.
We've got about 8,000 square feet of pure training territory. Raw concrete floors that've seen more chalk than a classroom. Exposed brick walls covered in motivational damage. Heavy bags hanging like sentries. Platforms that echo with the sound of dropped PRs.
There's a reason we call it ShadowThorn - the aesthetic matches the attitude. Dark, gritty, unforgiving. But also weirdly beautiful in its brutality. The kind of place where you leave your ego at the door or get it checked real quick.
Equipment-wise? We've got everything from vintage iron plates to modern training gear. Squat racks, deadlift platforms, a full boxing ring, battle ropes thick as your arm, and sleds that'll make you question your life choices.
