Get Faster. Get Stronger. Get Explosive.
Explosive strength, power, and speed is the deciding factor in your game, especially if you aspire to become a dominant athlete.
Winning is often measured in milliseconds or inches. These qualities ensure you have the physical capacity to be faster, stronger, and more explosive than your opponents.
In our Athlete Strength & Conditioning Training program, we use methods that work on these key qualities daily, and the players with these unfair advantages will dominate their opponents every play.
World renown & Olympic Athlete P.K. Subban who plays Hockey in the NHL have been coming to our gym for over 8 years now, and here’s what he has to say:
“LPS Athletic Centre is a big reason why my game is where it’s been for the past couple of years… Back to the short (2012-13 lockout) season when I won the Norris Trophy, I remember how I felt that year and every year since then. It’s probably made the biggest difference in my career.”
– P.K. Subban, Nashville Predators (NHL) (Testimonial Video)
METHODOLOGY & SYSTEM
When you train at LPS Athletic Centre in North York, we use a system called the Athlete Activation System™. The Athlete Activation System™ is an international certification and educational course that we teach strength coaches on the best methods to train athletes.
This system maximizes and taps into your potential by activating higher threshold motor units.
This system is so powerful that it produces a steroid-like effect.
Clance is one of the best strength coaches in Canada and definitely one of the best that I follow in regards to his training methods…
Josh Fontana, Strength Coach, Pure Strength Academy…I played a lot of rugby so it’s my transition from an athlete to a coach and this is the best system in the business…
Alex Lauzon, Wrestler & Strength Coach…of all the training seminars I’ve ever been to, this was certainly the one that earned the highest evaluation standards…

OUR FOUR TRAINING PRINCIPLES
TRAIN HARD
We’re a community of athletes that push each other to be better each and every day. We have fun, but we’re competitive. We cheer for each other and strive to be Monstas™.
TRAIN FREQUENTLY
Commitment will get you started, consistency will help you finish. We set you up with coaching, programming and techniques with long term views for long term successes in and out of sports.
TRAIN HEAVY
Technique & safety is paramount. Once your skill develops over time and you are able to have proper positions, you’ll earn the right to lift heavy. That’s when the magic happens.
TRAIN TO FULL ROM
Training to full range of motion is utmost importance to us. Weightlifting is the ability to display movement, strength and explosiveness in the proper full ranges of motion.
OFF-SEASON INTENSIVE TRAINING
SUPERVISED COACHING
Elite Performance Coaching – With your individualized training program, you will be supervised at all times by a certified coach when you are training at our world-renown gym in North York. We have an extremely high attention model which ensures proper technical execution of each exercise. We create an environment and culture for individuals to develop strong, independent, motivated, confident and giving characteristic traits.
SPEED TRAINING
Speed, speed and more speed – We make you as fast as possible at your ideal weight for your sport. But there is a misconception among some players that they don’t have to be STRONG, which is a huge, HUGE mistake. Strength is “the mother of all qualities”. Researched and developed by some of the worlds best sprint coaches, our speed training system is simple: We lift, and then we run. It’s not fancy, but it works.
LPS SMARTTRACK™ APP
Consistent Data Points – Our LPS SmartTrack™ app allows us to record your progress and interact with the community. Life happens, and we know sometimes you may not be able to make it to the gym (vacation, weather, etc.). That’s why the app has your program, video instructions, key pointers, easy to input user interface, and historical data, so you won’t have to let surprises take you away from the progress you are making with your coach.
INJURY & CONCUSSION PREVENTION
Flexibility, Mobility, and Stability – Our program offers a unique and complementary approach to ensure that the players’ bodies are functioning properly and able to attain normal positions as well as physical positions required by the sport. We take great care in developing the tissues of the body to handle the stresses (concussions, etc.) you may encounter.
NUTRITIONAL & SUPPLEMENT GUIDANCE
The Ethical Performance You Need – We test body compositions and hormonal profile weekly, including the detections of performance enhancement usage. We are strict on using only ethical methods to get you to the physique and strength abilities you need to dominate your position. Based on goals, we will prescribe ideal nutritional and supplement protocols.
WEEKLY PERFORMANCE TESTING
Maximizing Potential – Using our BioSignature Assessment and Advanced Programming, we leverage the app to track and measure your progress every session, year after year. LPS Athletic Centre team analyzes your data and compares it to other top competitive and professional athletes, so we will know where you stand, and how we will maximize your unfair advantage.
…Going in and out of my cuts, I’m more explosive and when I deliver a blow, I know I’m always the winning outcome…
Wayne Moore, BC Lions (CFL)I’ve tried out a few gyms, but nothing really worked for me. My coach found LPS, and now that I’ve been here for over 3 years now, the difference is just unreal…
Braxton Stone, 2x PAN AM Gold Medalist WrestlerIf you ain’t putting in the work when no ones watching, you won’t be able to shine when people are watching… LPS is making that dream happen for me.

Joel Ward, San Jose Sharks (NHL)I got a lot faster and it’s definitely given me an advantage at the track. Over the past month it’s improved by over a second after I started training heavier at LPS.
Izzy Goudros, Heptathlon Athlete Gold MedalistMy experience here at LPS has been incredible. The atmosphere at the gym is unmatchable to anything I’ve ever been in before. Everyone is always pushing you to go harder and heavier.

A PERSONALIZED APPROACH
Is this group class training?
No. You will have your own personalized program addressing your personal needs. You will be always supervised & working with a LPS certified coach. We create an environment where you will be training with other athletes from the same and various explosive sports. This system we have created has proven to motivate and stimulate competition to elicit higher performance which equates to better results in a shorter period of time. In essence, your personalized program + LPS supervised coaching + our gym culture will turbo-charge your results.
Will I become a Pro if I train here?
You’ll get better odds. While we have a track record of sending many athletes to the professional leagues or getting a full scholarship, there are more factors than just getting physical dominance. We can promise that you will possess the strength, power, and speed required and/or more than some of the top professional athletes if you follow our system. Being average will take weeks, being good will take months, being great will take years, but being extraordinary will take decade(s).
How long are the training sessions?
Training sessions are between 1-2 hrs depending on which phase of the program you’re in. Our training plans are structured to give you superior results in a short time frame. Over the years, we developed a system that delivers results to drive the magnificent seven (7): Flexibility, Mobility, Stability, Dexterity, Power, Speed, and Strength all in the same session. And this typically takes anywhere from 1-2 hrs based on the athlete’s fitness level and stage in the system. If you are looking for a quick one-hour cardio workout just to fatigued yourself, then we are not for you.
Off-Season vs 90/365 Day Training?
Off-Season training are intensive programs that maximize results in a short time. We understand everyone is different. For example, professional athletes typically have 10-16 weeks before their season begins. A 14 year-old may have 12 weeks (summer) before school starts. On the flip side, a 19 year old may have a full-time job, and can only train 2-4x a week. A 10 year old may participate in multiple sports and can only commit 1-2 a week. From experience, we see athletes that combine an off-season intensive then transition to an in-season all-year round coaching gets the best return on investment.
“Before I was training at LPS, I wasn’t really doing anything. I would just go into the gym without a real plan and what I’m doing for my workout, but ever since I came here, I have a structure in my workout, and I know exactly what I’m doing and what I need to do to excel on the football field. Since being at LPS, I’ve noticed that I’ve been faster, definitely stronger, and my endurance level has gone up, and my overall physique changed.”
– Fabion Foote, Montreal Alouettes (CFL) (Testimonial Video)
