Steve Maxwell’s coming back to Toronto in early June, and we can’t wait! Coach Maxwell has visited the StrengthBox on numerous occasions, covering everything from mobility conditioning to traditional club swinging for strength and fitness – and this time he’s presenting a full certification program for trainers and athletes.
Fundamentals of Human Movement is a new event that Maxwell has recently piloted in Europe, and this will be its first offering in Canada. As this is a new certification course, we are piloting it at a special introductory price.

StrengthBox, our unique Toronto gym, is challenging everyone to test their skills in several strength-oriented events in order to raise funds in support of mental health. The StrengthBox Challenge will take place at the East York gym on Saturday, May 5th and all proceeds will benefit the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, as their staff works to conquer the stigma of child and adolescent mental illness.

It’s been about 6 weeks since Steve Maxwell completed his two workshops in traditional club swinging at the StrengthBox. It was wonderful to work with Coach Maxwell, and on a personal level I got to know him quite well during his recent stay in Toronto. I have a feeling he will return!
“Explore your true nature”. It’s a tag-line that sums up the whole MovNat experience, and the participants at the latest Toronto clinic dove-in to their own MovNat explorations wholeheartedly. The StrengthBox proved to be a great indoor training environment, with its balance beams, climbing platform, logs, precision jump stands and other unique training tools [...]

I’m really happy to post some of our paleo success stories here. A little over a month ago, we challenged our members to “eat real” for one month, dropping processed foods, sugar and flour, grains, legumes and dairy. You guys not only took to the challenge, but you proved to yourself that it works! We’ve seen huge improvements in weight and body composition, energy, fitness levels and even in mood. Thanks for sharing your experiences; you will help inspire others to do the same.
Joe Rogan – stand-up comic, MMA fan/UFC colour commentator, and former host of TV’s Fear Factor – is in terrific shape. He’s functionally strong, and super flexible, likely as a result of his Taekwondo and other martial arts training. Joe was in Toronto last week for UFC 129, where he came through with his usual detailed on-the-spot analysis. Earning his black belt in Taekwondo at age 15, and holding a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo, this guy knows what he’s talking about!

We had a fun morning at the StrengthBox this past Monday with Jennifer Valentyne and the Live-Eye crew from Breakfast Television Toronto! A huge thank you to Jennifer for braving a few challenges and to the BT gang for cheering her on back in the studio. There were a few hilarious moments…

“Paleo Solution” author Robb Wolf was in town last week to deliver one of his awesome road-trip seminars here in Toronto, which he aptly sub-titled “Fad Diet since 3 Million BC!!” It’s always exciting when Robb is in town — he’s part educator, part mentor, part friend and all-round good guy. Once again I had [...]

What’s more fun that a barrel of monkeys? Why an adult jungle-gym to play on, of course! We’re big fans of climbing, an essential MovNat skill, and we’ve played around with everything in the gym from pull-up bars, climbing walls and even a log that hangs from the ceiling, but our new MovNat climbing platform really does take the prize for all-out fun.
Spring has finally arrived, so it’s a perfect time to get serious about your diet. And since Robb Wolf will be in town next weekend to present his Paleo Solution Seminar, what a perfect time to launch another EAT REAL Challenge here at the StrengthBox. We saw some solid transformations from our challenge in 2010, and now armed with Robb’s book and seminar knowledge, we expect to see some great results again!
