A Strength and Conditioning Gym in North York, we work with athletes who strive to dominate in their sport.
We founded and teach the first and leading Athlete Strength and Conditioning certification internationally recognized system called Athlete Activation System (AAS) trusted by top coaches worldwide. This system maximizes and taps into athletes’ potential by activating higher threshold motor units. This system is so effective that it produces steroid-like effects turning them into dominating athletes we call Monstas™.
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO TRAIN AT LPS ATHLETIC CENTRE?
Why we exist, what we do, how we do it, and the results you can expect.
Habits Drive Culture Which Creates Results – LPS Athletic Centre was founded in 2005 by Master Strength Coach Clance Laylor. In 2015, Clance partnered up with serial entrepreneur Jeremy Choi. Coach Clance is 1 of 5 Master Level Strength Coaches in Canada, and 1 of 40 in the world to receive one of the highest designations in the Strength and Conditioning industry.
Never settling for status quo, with over 30 years of research & practical experience, Coach Clance & Jeremy co-founded & teach the Athlete Activation System (an internationally recognized system) that helps athletes maximize and taps into athletic potential transforming them into dominating athletes we call Monstas™.
Monstas™ are disciplined & focused, and through this results-proven process, they become so great, they can’t be ignored.
OUR 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. Being a Monsta™ is the ability to display movement, strength and explosiveness in the proper full ranges of motion.

There are a couple of things I like about LPS. First off the atmosphere is unreal. Training next to some of the top... athletes in Ontario creates an addicting energy while training; like there's no way you're going to be lazy when there are Olympians, pro footballers, and top track stars snatching 300lbs next to you. You immediately rise to their level.Secondly, the gym culture. There's a standard of excellence that sets the tone. It's very clear the intention: you want to be the best you gotta train like the best. The staff is amazing. As high as the standard is, everyone is so kind and helpful and all anyone wants for you is to succeed and it's very clear in the way they coach and treat you.The biggest difference from other gyms is LPS’s scientific knowledge for developing athletes.So many other gyms do not know how to properly build their athletes without injuring them. I’ve found other gyms focus more on gimmicks, and they lack the principles behind true athletic development such as making athletes do single-legged exercises on a balance ball with a kettle ball which is huge for injury. The majority of gyms lack the foundation and understanding behind true athletic development.LPS is the gym I constantly compare others to. And none have lived up to my standard of LPS. I know if want to be a top athlete, LPS is the only choice.read more

I am a professional volleyball player and LPS has been my favourite off season in my 13 years of training for this... sport. I spent my first summer at LPS these past few months, and I reached a new level of strength, flexibility and mental toughness I’ve never tapped into before stepping into this gym. The coaches are the most knowledgeable, supportive and caring group of people and really want you to succeed as an athlete. If you train here and put in the work required you WILL see some crazy results I can guarantee.read more

I was so happy to find LPS after having ACL reconstruction last year. I was recovering well but not seeing the results... I needed. After reaching out their response was quick, professional, and optimistic. I started my program with LPS in February and did a full month and a half before the Covid lockdown. In that short span of time I saw more results in my leg strength than I had seen in the prior 2 months of my recovery where I had focused on solely regaining muscle. Beyond the physical improvements the team at LPS helped me regain my mental strength and confidence. Being injured as an athlete is very difficult but the community they have built at LPS is truly empowering and I cannot thank them enough for getting me through such a tough time.read more

This is the best Strength & Conditioning Facility in Toronto. If you want to optimize your athletic performance, make... it to a pro level at sports, or simply improve physical quality of your life... - LPS is the place to go to. The coaches here are knowledgeable and highly experienced in their respective fields. The training is definitely hard, but it certainly makes one a better athlete. The atmosphere is intense because everyone strives to better themselves. Most importantly LPS is a community. There is a strong sense of support and encouragement among the people here.

Great facility, the coaches are professional, knowledgeable, with patience but loving toughness. In only two months my... strength has increased a lot and the way I move on the field has improved a ton thanks to the Athlete Activation System (AAS) program and given me the confidence that I’ll be able to dominate in the next level. In addition, the energy at LPS is upbeat, inviting and positive. Of course, I think Coach Laylor is the best trainer out there but all of the coaches are amazing and will help you reach your goals.read more

LPS is a place where anyone thinking of reaching the next level should be. I trained many different ways to get... stronger and be more focused on reaching higher goals with performance and I have not found anything better than here. Coaches here are always helpful and caring of their athletes and trainees. Coaches and athletes here care about what I think matters the most, effort and hard work. This is no comparison to any other commercial gyms. They have the right environment and coaches who are very dedicated to developing athletes. Even if you’re someone just wanting to get in shape, if your focus is there this is the right place for you.read more

When I first heard about LPS I was skeptical – I’ve never done any weight training, gaining all my exercise by playing... multiple sports: Golf, tennis, hockey, basketball and cross country skiing. But I’m 55 now, and I could tell my body was starting to break down. I had pain in my knees, and would wake up aching. So much so that descending a stair case could be difficult at times. I wondered to myself if this is just how it is when you get older. It turns out I was dead wrong! I’ve been going to LPS since February, and I’ve never felt better. Clance and his team provide the right level of motivation without making you feel pressured, and if you put in the time you get the results: No more aches and pains, stairs are a breeze. I’m stronger, have much better flexibility and it’s paying off in every sport I play. Longer off the tee, more agile on the tennis courts, better endurance in hockey. I would highly recommend LPS to anyone who is wants to keep the edge on your fellow competitors.read more
